➤Ⅱ Miko had always been one to try new things. One to press the limits, explore all the options-- do something dangerous-- yet when it came to matters of the heart she could be oddly reluctant. She and Jack had been together for a long time, and she could tease him well enough about most things, but this? This was making her nervous. 

She’d waited until he’d assumed bot form, like her, before slowly approaching. She was hesitant, looked.. smaller, than usual. Scared. Emotions so unlike her.

“Come here.”

➤Ⅱ Miko tilted her head to the side, hesitated for a moment, then transformed into her Cybertronian form and approached him.

18. My muse is been beaten badly and is in bad shape, yours finds mine in this state.

➤Ⅱ She couldn’t even remember how she’d ended up like this. Everything hurt-- her entire frame was aching, each pulse of her spark sending ripples of pain through her body. Had she gotten into a fight? Had she been out for long? Where was she?

She found herself unable to answer her own questions, and simply slumped against the wall she’d propped herself up against, vents whirring softly as she tried to think. She would be alright, wouldn’t she? She’d been through worse. 

Yet-- she’d lost a lot of energon, and she got the feeling her legs had been injured in the fight. Which was pretty bad, considering she’d been having problems with old injuries before all this. It was then that she noticed she wasn’t alone-- someone else was nearby. 

Forcing herself to lift up her helm, she stared blearily ahead, struggling to make out who it was.

“This won’t change how we feel for you.”

➤Ⅱ Miko vented loudly, not reassured at all by his words. That’s what parents always said, right? That you could never be replaced? She’d heard it before-- didn’t want to hear it again.

➤Ⅱ “Well I can fly, for one thing-- and I am so much faster. At least when I need to cover long distances, I mean. As a human I’m a bit faster at.. running around? Not sure how to describe it, actually.” She frowned. “Le’see... uhm.. well, to be honest I’m still trying to figure the rest out. I can do what all other bots can-- y’know, go out in space without needing a special suit, talk through comm links blah blah blah.”

15. Slapping back.

➤Ⅱ Miko was fairly certain that the gesture had been meant to be a nice one. Comforting, maybe-- but when someone did it that hard the only affect was knocking her flat on her face. Wonderful.
