A Return to Normalcy at Last
[Here Nexus, have an entirely pissed off Malgian Decepticon Leader, glaring promised death and violence to all those that choose to glance at their communicator. If one looks closely enough they will see multiple dents, scrapes, and general wear and tear on his frame from a recent battle

...did you at least enjoy it?

[Despite his irritation, he snorts from his vents.]
I might have. I particularly enjoyed when you fell, if you wish me to be entirely truthful.

You do know I was not intending on infecting you, I hope.
[Granted, he'd told Starscream he could if he wanted to, but that wasn't the same as actually intending to...]

Intention or not, it is then a matter of competence. I wouldn't have expected my own namesake proving to be so careless.

[Lets just have a growling match, shall we? Even as he starts shoveling dirt back over the explosive container. He liked having dirt for an arena floor, so long as there was a center platform that was metal...]
However.
I will be more careful to ensure that you are not targeted, next time.
Reply
Yes, I am sure you will.
[He doesn't sound convinced in the slightest, and makes sure to convey that in his glare.]
Just as you will take care in not killing mechs that were rightfully mine. Surely you haven't forgotten Lugnut?
[He hasn't forgotten about Lugnut, he was simply never vocal about his distaste. But now he has so much distaste in the back of his mouth, you get the brunt of it. Lucky you.]

...and move on to the next charge.]
I forget no one who has died for my cause.
[Even if they were someone who had just...come back to life for it. Or had this Megatron seen that footage, yet?]
So.
What do you want from me, Magnus?

[He almost sounds wistful, but there is an edge laced in his tone that holds promise to his words.]
Why, I would dearly wish for you to neglect from any further attempts at recruiting those that were previously under my command. While you may rightfully keep that treacherous Starscream of mine, it would be... unwise of you to further attempt to manipulate them for your own cause.
[His optics shutter a few times, glancing away briefly before offering a sidelong glance.]
...unless, of course, you wish for this shaky alliance of ours to end swiftly.

[He notices that tone, curious.]
I am not going to keep anyone who wishes to return to you, though I'm not going to dismiss them, either. And I will refrain from speaking with new Malgian Decepticons in the future until after you have established yourself with them.
...
Now.
[He tilts his head.]
What is it you really want?

I believe you know precisely what I want.

Actually, no.
Based on your recent behavior, I'd say you want the Aurexian Starscream.
But you already have him.
[He smirks.]
So lets get this in writing, shall we? So there are no...misconceptions?

[You get a very special brand of growl.]
And it is strictly professional, I assure you.
[Just give him a second to recuperate from his sudden spike in hatred for your clever observations.]

The contract, or Starscream?
[Oh, he's saying it so innocently.]
Reply
Both.
[Having fun riling up your namesake, Magnum? You're playing with fire~]
Reply
Well.
At least it wasn't Dirge.
[Which is a dig at himself, in way of apology.]
Shall we talk business?
