Cheetor smiled sheepishly. "It was really Frilla," he deflected the praise. Of course... it kinda really was Frilla.Tigatron wrote:Well done, the three of you!
Dinobot, however, said nothing. Predacons- at least the race he'd known his whole life- weren't used to giving or receiving praise. If one 'bot did give another any congratulations, it was usually for the sake of flattery, and transparently so. Tigatron's earnest compliment was something he had no comfortable response for.
Besides. It was mostly Frilla's doing.
Cheetor had been so distracted he hadn't noticed Saber-Fang come in at first. He couldn't be sure... but he thought maybe he recognized the quote from some Earth movie. He hadn't watched many of those before, but Cybertron had taken a natural interest in humanity's ideas about alien life. Maybe it was from one of those. Star... fight? Star... walk?Saber-Fang wrote:I decided that my own personal problems could wait, seeing how the Maximals needed me more. It would seem that the needs of the many out weighted the needs of the few.
"Hey, Saber!" he added to the greetings which had already been said.

Steelclaw couldn't tell what Whitegrazer was thinking to herself for so long. Maybe she hadn't even known what she meant when she asked about what made an individual. Or maybe she knew full well, didn't like the response he gave her, and wanted to bring the conversation somewhere she felt like she had some rhetorical advantage. He wasn't prepared for what came next...
So that was it? She wasn't going to give him an answer? She was going to be cryptic? Of course she was going to be cryptic. He should have expected her to be cryptic.Whitegrazer wrote:What is a society, Steelclaw? What is it built upon?
"What do you think a society is?" he asked pointedly. He immediately resorted to a short, breathy laugh. It wouldn't do to let her push his buttons so easily. It was one thing if she was going to beat around the bush, but it was going to be another thing entirely if he started shouting and letting emotion rule over rationality. Then the conversation would be pointless.
"Look," he explained calmly. "I'm not sure why you're asking so many questions, but I feel like I'm not getting much response from you. I came here to converse, not to be interviewed. Please... tell me what it is you're trying t- ..." He cut himself off, for that sounded insulting. "...Getting to. I'm sure I'd enjoy talking about it on some level."
