It was actually dinner time, at least for Optimus who kept pretty weird hours anyway. As such, he was raiding the fridge (a nightly ritual, since he still had yet to figure out how to curb the increase in his appetite) and making dinner. Dinner tonight consisted of a large sandwich and some leftover Chinese.

Optimus paused to glance up from the kitchen, and noticed Bumblebee in the living room. He had been puzzled by this alternate 'Bee - whereas the Bumblebee he was used to was talkative, loud and somewhat of a showoff, this Bee seemed calm, level-headed and was mute.

Wouldn't Ratchet be surprised.

He took his food out of the microwave and headed over to the couch. "How are you settling in?" he asked, sitting down.

Fast Optimus is fast!

[therighttune]

Bumblebee jumped slightly at the sound of Optimus' voice, his attention having being focused on the screen and without sensors anymore like he used to have... well lets say Ironhide would have his hide for his lack of awareness lately. He turned his head, leaving the channel that was on playing and looked up at Optimus.

It was still hard to see him as 'Optimus' sometimes, though he had the same presence, or something close to it. He was getting used to it though the more he saw him.

He smiled and started to nod, before pausing and lifting a hand, holding it horizontally and waving it in a 'so-so' gesture. He couldn't honestly say it was easy after all.

:D

He had to infer the meaning from Bumblebee's gestures. "Yeah, it is a little tough adjusting to being human," he said, before taking a bite of his sandwich. He politely chewed and swallowed before continuing. "You seem to be doing okay with it, though. That's commendable."

[therighttune]

That was a little tougher to answer by gesture alone, so he smiled before picking up his communicator, typing in a message before holding it out for Optimus to read.

'Metabee and Sam have been helping me with it.'

"That's good," Optimus said after taking the communicator and reading the message. "I'm glad you were able to meet your friend right away, and that Metabee is helping you out."

Another bite, and Optimus chewed a bit more slowly, thinking.

"Can I ask you something? And if it's too much to answer, it's fine. I'm just curious about this."

[therighttune]

His smile widened, indicating his own happiness at having Sam with him here. If he hadn't been Bumblebee would probably have been in a much worse state, more worried than he already was about the way things were back in his universe. As it was he was able to hide that well enough, trying to focus on getting on with life here until a way home was found.

At Optimus' question Bumblebee's expression turned curious, and he nodded, indicating the older Autobot should go ahead.

Optimus smiled back, before pressing forward at Bumblebee's insistence to continue.

"What's your Optimus like?"

It was pretty late when Ikki woke up, thirsty. Heading to the kitchen for a glass of water, he was surprised to find two others awake- Optimus, as well as a guy that he had seen around, but hadn't had a chance to talk to yet.

Well, it seemed that new guy had a thing for playing video games late into the night.

"Hey, Optimus?" Ikki asked as he shuffled over to the counter to get some water. "Who's this?"

[therighttune]

Okay, so maybe Bumblebee hadn't really expected that question. But then, who wouldn't be curious about another version of themelves? It wasn't a question he minded answering anyway, though it required some thought as he typed. It wasn't often he'd been asked to describe Prime.

'He's a great leader, since before the war even began. A strong warrior and tactician. But kind and patient, dedicated to our cause. Everyone looks up to him.' Bumblebee felt that was accurate, though there was more he could say.

As an afterthought he added a note before letting Optimus read it, What's your Bumblebee like?

Then he turned his head, looking up sharply at Ikki. Bumblebee turned his head to look quizzically at Optimus as well, awaiting an introduction.

[androllout]

"Ah, right," Optimus said, taking the comm from Bumblebee. "Ikki, this is Bumblebee. He's an Autobot as well, from a universe similar to mine. Bumblebee, this is Ikki. He's a friend of Metabee's. And what are you doing up so late, Ikki?"

He scanned the message really quickly. "Well, for one, he's a lot noisier, and a bit of a showoff. But he's a good 'bot at Spark, and one of my most trusted crew members."

[holymedaroli]

"I came down to get a drink of water," Ikki explained, taking a sip.

"So he's an Autobot, too? Ha, Metabee would like it, having another bug-ish robot here. Have you guys met yet?" He turned to Bumblebee.

[therighttune]

Well that made Sentinel's comment a lot clearer, as well as the one from the Decepticon who called herself Blackarachnia. 'A Bumblebee who can keep his mouth shut', inwardly he rolled his eyes, once again missing his radio with a sharp pang. He wasn't naturally quiet, he envied this other Bumblebee for that - even if he didn't regret the circumstances that led to his loss of voice he reminded himself quickly. As for being a showoff? Well he could identify with that too.

Bumblebee's eyes lit up and he nodded, lifting his hand and doing a casual salute in greeting. Though bug-ish? Okay his name was... and his battlemask... and... okay he'd admit that.
