53rd Transmission - Video (Event ! Bodyswap)

[The video opens on Ratchet. Who looks exceedingly peeved. Moreso than those familiar with him may have ever seen him. In fact, he looks as if he'd very much like to rip his communicator in half.]

Whoever is in possession of my medic will inform me of his whereabouts. Immediately! Or I shall tear you apart!

Where has the captain put him! Answer me!

[... well. That's certainly not something Ratchet would ever say.]

What do you want me to do? Wander around like this? Hmn?

[He tries to make an exasperated gesture, but, predictably, overbalances a little, and wobbles sideways. That was not as planned.]

... You all right?

I want to know that you are able to wander like that.

[He grits his teeth, hissing. If they ever had the supplies, he would build Ironhide an entirely new hip, if this was how it felt on a daily basis.]

And I am fine. Frustrated with the situation.

[In answer, he straightens up, taking a few steps just to prove he can. When nothing happens, he looks smug.]

Can.

[And then the expression darkens. He approaches Ratchet, lowering a hand to that oh-so-familiar injury.]

... And in pain. Get used to it... after a while.

The fact you feel that it is necessary that you adjust to this, rather than speak to me about repairing it...

[He huffs, broad shoulders sagging slightly.]

These damages are from long before you arrived on this ship, Ironhide. You should not let yourself suffer like this.

We had more important things to worry about than the state of my joints.

[He tilts his head slightly, studying his own frame. This is... surreal, to say the least. Almost absently, he reaches up to poke at some of the scarring on his face.]

Not suffering if you stop noticing it.

Your general well-being is important, you thick-headed old fool.

[The sensitivity of the scar makes him twitch slightly, narrowing his good optic.]

You should have told me.

Not more than Prime. Or the others.

[He... smirks. Very slightly. And repeats the motion.]

You were preoccupied.

Did I say I did not care for them as well? Surprisingly, I am capable of caring for all of you at once - and multitasking.

[His engine makes a sound somewhere between a growl and purr, leaning into his hand all the same.]

Until you become impossibly distracted. Like you do.

[He pauses for a second, snorting.]

Told you they were sensitive.

You have been known to break that concentration. On more than one occasion. You could attempt to use that ability for legitimate reasons, for once.

[He's still leaning into that hand, grumbling.]

It does not make any logical sense why they would be...

My reasons were always legtitmate. Always have been. Sometimes you work too hard.

[He doesn't move the hand, watching him with a neutral expression.]

No. Never understood it, either.
