( sawing logs. a better rest than the night before. )
⠀

⠀
mmm. ⠀ ( he doesn’t sound pleased, cheek propped on blast off’s helm. )
⠀

⠀
i’m left more confused than anything. i’d like answers. ⠀ ( better that it’s outside than in, right? )
⠀

⠀
( slides in after him, getting comfortable. )
⠀

⠀
( now there’s two scaredy bots in the house. does swindle need to bunk with them too at this point. )
⠀

⠀
( he assumes they’re staying the night again. )
⠀

⠀
( shhhhhh. swindle needs the reassurance. )
⠀

⠀
we’ll… figure something out.
⠀

⠀
what was that.
⠀

⠀
any ideas as to what it wants?
⠀

⠀
supernatural.. ⠀ ( he hates that word, & anything related to superstitions. where’s the logic here. ) ⠀ i’m not familiar with the topic.
⠀

⠀
there’s got to be an explanation for this. ⠀ ( slides the curtains down over the windows. ) ⠀ giving whoever it is attention probably isn’t helping.
⠀

⠀
( hangs up. ⠀ * 😐 ) ⠀ they’re both at home.
⠀

⠀
…who’s there.
⠀

⠀
( good grief. ) ⠀ i don’t know.
⠀

⠀
( one second, blast off, a digit held up. ) ⠀ pass the phone.
⠀

⠀
where are you and what are you doing right now. ⠀ ( his turn to do the interrogating. )
⠀

⠀
( strong bouts of emotional distress are shared amongst the web of their bond, the combaticon leader doesn’t put it past the twisted little ‘copter to drag it out with petty pranks. taking it upon himself to call her UP. ) ⠀ fine.
⠀

⠀
( don’t piss him off this late in the day, vortex. now’s a terrible time for her childish, fear indulgent tactics. especially after the scare swindle swears he encountered the night before. optic twitched. ) ⠀ real funny. ⠀ * ♨️
⠀

⠀
( meandering his way to the window as well, peering out. )
⠀

⠀
( reclined back in a chair, in possession of the remote & totally watching the tv. some things never change. )
⠀

⠀
( what’s funny.. )
⠀

⠀
( or if you do, do so subtly! ) ⠀ a shared coincidence, wouldn’t you agree? ⠀ ( a nice, long drag taken. )
⠀

⠀
for a little while i did, not long. ⠀ ( onslaught doesn’t usually recharge for extended periods of time anyways. less without his shuttle. )
