The big cat quickly ran back to Lumin, rubbing between their legs, wanting a scratch on the ear.]

How about we stretch our pedes and go for a walk?

While you both talk I’ll be outside with Pir and Cherry, just call out if you need anything.

[Giving Fault a big smile they left the room, closing the door behind them. Now outside, they approached Cherry and Pir.

the two exchanging hellos while Pir ran out to Wild Cherry.]

[The minibot giggles at the sight, then zipped over to the two mechs with cubes in servo.]

Hi Bad!!

[They hopped up to kiss him on the cheek plate, giving him a cube, then passing the other to Fault.]

[While yes this was a medical visit, it would be bad manners on Lumin’s part to not offer both guests so fuel.]

[At the same time Pirelli begun running over to the door, making a noise akin to a yowl, begging to be let out. Luckily for Lumin, Fault had already made his way over to greet Bad,

[Hearing Bad honk to announce his arrival, Lumin’s antennas perked up. They quickly ducked down to the storage box that held their remaining energon cubes.

The sight of the pink liquid reminded them of the raw crystal from Fault, the took it from their subspace and placed it in the box for later.]

[At that statement they pointed out their pedes, spinning the wheels then tucking them back under their frame to sit more comfortably.]

W-What about you? Have you always been a… um well a Decepticon?

[Their gaze fell the insignia briefly before flicking up to meet green optics, intrigued.]

We met back when Bad was a student on Cybertron, he was so grumpy back then!

[They leaned their helm against his shoulder, tracing a servo up the metal with a feather light touch.]

I was working as a courier, handled smaller goods that needed a quick delivery, I’m light on my pedes.

[Lumin was quick to make themself at home, choosing to sit on the blanket laid out, scooting close to bad.

Clearing their vocaliser they addressed Oil Slick, trying to keep a cool expression despite how their spark felt as if it were beating fast enough to leap from its casing.]

Don’t worry, I can take him. No way they’re gonna catch me, I’m too fast ☆〜（ゝ。∂）

UH NASTY BOTS!!! I’LL SET PIR ON THEM IF NEEDED, NO ONE HURTS MY BAD

WHO’S TICKING YOU OFF BAD I’LL GIVE THE OL’ WHAT FOR

This is us
@hotwheelies.bsky.social

I hope you don’t mind, the guests I usually have are smaller.

[They gave a sheepish grin.]

You relax, Bad Apple should be here soon, he’s a medic and he doesn’t discriminate between ‘Bots and ‘Cons in need.

[They called out, hurrying around the base to move things out of the way so Fault would have a clear path in the main bridge. A pile of pillows was quickly thrown together on the ground for him to sit on, unfortunately there was no chair to accommodate a warframe.]

[They had noticed the way Fault had unconsciously inched towards a more shaded section outside, the light clearly causing some discomfort. Luckily they were able to get the main system to stay turned off, putting on the small fairy lights instead.]

You can come in now~

You can go back to root mode, it’ll be easier for Bad to check on you that way

[Tapping in the pin to the ship, the door opened with a hiss, Pir made a noise, hopping inside nearly tripping Lumin over.]

Damn it Pir! I’ll just make sure the overhead lights are off real quick, wait here-

[The minibot turned to Fault, pursing their derma as they considered his question about his size. He was always a larger mech but the ship did allow for bigger frames to enter inside. Or at least they thought it did.]

[Truth be told everything seemed large when you were a minibot.]

[Lumin stretched their backstruts, feeling the joints pop back into place in their root mode. The drive had been longer than expected, it had been a while since they had spent such an amount of time in their alt.]

[Pirelli was already pawing at the ships door, anxious to get inside.]

Give me a sec

[OOC] In light of recent events it is understandable to see people take their leave. For myself I will continue to rp, I wish the best for everyone 🩷

KITTYYYYYYY (*≧∀≦*)

maybe he would share some rations. Lumin’s antennas flicker up, no long feeling as panicked and fearful.]

[The minibot looked at him hopefully.]

[Thoughts of Pirelli crossed their processor, they did not want to abandon their new friend.]

I’ll be a spy for you if it means being able to stay on this planet and if it mean you’ll be able to supply me with energon

[A bit of a bold request, but, if he was needing a so called criminal as a spy,

A spy…

[They repeated, tilting their helm. The past really was coming back to bite them in the aft today!]

[It wasn’t a bad deal, if it meant they could go free and the only one they had to answer to was this bot, then perhaps it couldn’t be too much trouble.]

If I agree will you let me go?

What kind of work?

[It wasn’t like they could make demands, it would be better to know what was expected of them first.]

[Before the could stop themself they had reacted. Work for the Magnus? The whole point of leaving Cybertron was so they wouldn’t have to work for Bots!!]

I-I um well..

[They stuttered unsure what exactly to do. It’s not like they could say no, but they were unsure if agreeing would be a wise idea]

[The sudden change in the Magnus demeanour worried Lumin. Their antennas begun twitching nervously, waiting for the inevitable jail sentence…]

[Only instead, he had said they would work for him.]

What?!

[Suddenly they had remembered that Fault mentioned needing to see a medic, they took the drive as an opportunity to call up their very good friend on that matter.]

Heyyy so i need a favour~

@badapplemedic.bsky.social

With that out of the way the drive back to Lumin's ship begun. During the journey Lumin thought about Fault's words before recharge, they were surprised to learn he had join the Cons but they didn't blame him.]

[Maybe in another life they would've joined them too.]

a habit they would definitely keep now she had gained a liking to him.]

I've sent the coordinates to you now, traveling underground will be best for you, the life here would make it harder

[Making sure the comm was sent, they transformed, opening a door for the cat to jump inside, then closing up.

[The next morning the trio had onlined bright and early, still bundled together in a cuddle puddle. Once their frames were untangled, Lumin begun planning the route to take back to their ship.]

[Stepping out into the morning sun, Pir ran between Fault's legs once again,
