* Scarlet Feast / Return of the Guardian.

"Remain still."

The dragon's talon reached for cheetor, quick and precise, as her talons caught hold of a small minicon latched right onto his back, right beneath a plate it was sure that it'd go unnoticed.

Perhaps so, if it were someone else. Things could have gone far worse, if she had not noticed the flash of crimson amongst the sandy colors and blues.

Galatea didn't spare a moment, the Insect like minicon squirming and hissing in the grasp of talons. An uncomfortable 'crunch', and it was discarded.

"Seems like these things are everywhere I go, these days." Said more to herself, than to them.

the gentleness of that voice got to his audials and he obeyed. closing his optics, he felt the weight on his back lifted up, and then a crushing sound that sent chills down his backstrut.

the minicon that has attacked him, or what remained of him, laid on the ground in thousands of pieces. cheetor couldb't help but feel bad, even if the bot had attacked him.

Galatea chose to not divulge the other half of the information, if only to keep some kind of peace in the current grim scene.

She grimaced, scales flaring.

Millions of thoughts came upon her, what to do in the circumstances that this conversation suddenly turned hostile.
