The touch startles him a little bit. His own Optimus isn't particularly touchy, per se. He never has been. So it's a bit surprising, to say the least, to have one handle him in such a way.

Not that he's necessarily opposed. Cliffjumper has always been a touchy kind of guy anyway.

Still, he's very quiet for a moment as he waits for what'll happen. And finally, after a few moments, he ducks his head as best he can with a faint laugh, half grinning. His usual deflection.

Arcee’s presence is familiar. Warm, comforting, and most importantly of all, safe. For all the that he'd gone through, he trusted her more than just about anyone else save a select few, and her presence was a balm when his frustration started to creep up on him.

Sighing, the soldier lets his shoulders slouch, pressing his face into the the touch, optics dim.

He's honestly never been happier to just have her here.

Send my muse an anonymous note with your muse’s feelings towards them. My muse has to guess whom the note is from.

Someone’s in a decently good mood, half dancing through his stretches, singing along to something on his internal audio as he goes.

     ✾    ─    It was protectiveness. Love towards her crew, even if the rules and feedback weren’t always taken well. Who even wants to hear being wrong? She nods again, catching the bright glow of his optics on her level. The look of her own, soft and warm - cerulean and pink glowing. He really knows the words to ease her processor.

     ❝ One day, at least. I want to be sure the message is clear. I don’t want a good bot to fall… because of something that has even the slightest chance to be avoided. If it means others are safe… I am ready to be the killjoy. You are the link between us in command and the scouts. You know, you all mean more than the universe to me…❞

The bigger bot makes a thoughtful noise at that, watching her for a moment before he smiles, reaching out to gently tap a knuckle against her chin, his expression warm as he tips his head. She worries so much, about every little thing, and he admires her just as much for it now as he started to when they first met.
