Even in such a crowded, bustling place, Skyfire sticks out in a crowd with his stark white paint job and massive frame. He hasn't even gone flying since he got here. The skies are full of traffic for the most part, and he just hasn't. Felt like it.

Part of him feels guilty for not making more of an effort to go home, but really. What is there truly to go back to?

Aside from being mistaken for Jetfire... this place is.

It's okay.

Even though he does tend to avoid the public. It's so crowded and busy...

He does have to venture out to get some needed items, however. This is one such trip. He carefully steps around some smaller mechs, collecting a few compressed energon cubes, as well as a few tools to do his own repairs.

"Oh- excuse me I-" He stumbles, nearly stepping on a human underfoot.

"... Mister Clarke?"

Frankly, he's getting used to being nearly stepped on by this point in time. Dodging is quickly becoming his next best skill.

Now, he's only spoken to Skyfire over the network and never once in person. It's only now that it occurs to Isaac just how. Enormous the shuttle really is.

"Jeez, you're huge," he murmurs, mostly amazed. Despite his general attitude with most of the synthetics here, he does have a sense of wonderment for coexisting in the presence of alien self-aware machines. The various models and everything is just incredible.

"You know, you can just call me Isaac," he adds. "How you doin'?"

"I- I'm alright." Skyfire kneels, lowering a hand to the ground, palm up. Offering Isaac a lift.

"I apologize for almost stepping on you. I'm usually so good about that kind of thing... here. Let me help you out. It is a lot safer to travel with someone bigger. You get places much faster, as well." He smiles in his usual, warm, friendly way.

"Not that you cannot handle yourself, I am sure... but a little assistance is not a bad thing." He adds quietly.

"Where are you staying?"

Immediately, he feels wary about the offer. Most of the synthetics he's ended up talking to in this city are nothing but trouble, save for Jazz and... Skyfire, naturally.

Thus far, at least, Skyfire's been nothing but kind and gentle. He supposes for now, there's no reason to distrust him.

"Yeah, sure. Might as well. ...Thanks," he murmurs, climbing aboard Skyfire's hand.

"Here and there," Isaac says vaguely. No actual apartment yet; he's been taking naps in the room with the generator, and occasionally staying at the hostel. In between jobs, there hasn't been much time for actual apartment looking.

The shuttle lifts him up and places him gingerly on one shoulder. He slowly shakes his head.

"You know, my offer is still open." Mostly Skyfire just can't really stand the silence. Sure, it makws for a nice work environment, but some company would be pretty bearable.

"Anyways, where to?" He asks, easily towering above the crowd.

It's oddly comfortable enough for him. Not that Isaac has sat on many synthetic's shoulders, but there's something comforting about it. It's not just cold metal under him. Skyfire is legitimately warm.

"I know," Isaac answers quietly. "And it's not that I don't appreciate it."

But it's just more convenient to sleep in the same room as the portal generator.

"Anything with hardware. I'm more or less picking up spare parts at this point."
