[For whatever the reason, Ironhide has decided being outdoors in December is preferable to staying inside. You know, where it's warm.]

[He's... back on the beach. Bundled up in his big, black coat, and throwing a piece of driftwood for his Growlithe. Dog seems totally unfazed by the cold, running around and barking as if it were a summer day out.]

What is one meant to do, when stationed somewhere? Hmn? There is nothing to fight. Little to train for, and I cannot work these creatures constantly.

[He scowls, watching Dog scamper around.]

Not fair to them.

So... what is it I am meant to do here, if I am required to stay?

No. That group was disbanded.

We protect your kind. It is a joint effort. They are my friends and comrades. And you will watch your vocal processor when you speak of them.

...sorry.

I'm not from your world, so I have no idea how your world works. I imagine you could take guesses at how mine works and you'd probably be wrong on things too.

Do you usually call your friends by their race and gender?

That is why I do not take guesses.

No. I use their designations. Since they are my friends, and not random humans I have never spoken to.

[Short of "HEY LET'S BATTLE".]

Everyone takes guesses. You can try not to but you do, because you don't know everything.

Unless you do know everything, but then you would know all the names you don't use.

I use everyone's name if I can. Just because they aren't my friend yet doesn't mean they can't be, but they definitely won't be if I'm mean to them.

Or. I keep silent.

Good for you, then.
