It had taken a little longer then normal for him, as the lack of flight and his now, very tiny size, meant traveling was a bit of actual work. The random people jostling him did not help, as it was disheartening so few could stop and admire his true grandeur as they once did.

Thus it was with a bit more enthusiasm that he bounced into the bar, okay the now having two legs and not four may just have helped in making him awkwardly off balance. No wonder most Cybertronians could be knocked over easily with such unstable root modes.

But, that even looked dignified in his mind as he started to look around. He maybe should have at least asked for a designation to ask around for.

[blk_arachnia]

In the time it took him to make his way to the bar Blackarachnia had already ordered, received and downed about half of a drink. The whole time her eyes were trained on the door.

Finally, he stumbled in. Almost immediately the femme was able to figure out it was him. He way he seemed out of place, slightly unsteady on his legs. Obviously not used to his smaller size or the now squishy body.

She grinned as she stood and made her way toward him. Obviously calling out his name would gain more attention than she would have intended.

"Sky Lynx I take it?"

[superior_tech]

"Ah yes, and in my haste I over-sighted to gain your designation."

And that grinned is repaid with a large smile of his own, as a beacon and bastion for others to look towards in the war he must be able to show confidence at all times.

[blk_arachnia]

"Mmn, yes it's Blackarachnia." she replied as she motioned for him to follow her.

Once back at the table she reclaimed her seat and took a sip of her drink. "Would you like anything to eat or drink? I imagine you're probably hungry." she asked, red eyes leveling on him.

In the darker space of her claimed corner the glow her eyes gave off was all the more noticeable.

[superior_tech]

"Well then, it is nice to meet you formally then!"

Following along he really had to marvel at how these bodies moved, even after the time of dealing with the human allies, though the mention of food and such reminded him of what he now was.

"Refueling is so odd for humans, always a great many things to think about with them and that need."

He just blinks at the eye glow, though part of him still tenses at it, he had to get used to Hot Spot with that color and First Aid's optical band, so it's not as bad.

"Though that would be ideal to take you up on this offer, you have experience with it."

[blk_arachnia]

"Hmm, yes. Nice to meet you as well, I suppose."

"Yes it it quite odd." she replied as she waved over one of the few waitresses so she could order. The place was really more of a pub than a bar. Once the waitress came over Blackarachnia asked for a menu so Sky Lynx could look it over. One was quickly placed on the table before the waitress left after giving her spiel about how she'd be back in a few minuets.

"Go ahead and look through it. There are some pictures of things in there so you can get an idea of what it looks like. Personally I like the cheese fries but the majority of the food here is good. It will really depend on your taste, which I suppose you haven't had a chance to figure out yet."

[superior_tech]

Despite the serious lack of stability without tail and another set of legs, Sky Lynx would have to give humans and his fellow robots this much. Hands were useful things, he could get used to not have to use his faceplates to hit buttons and hold items with. Not really paying attention to what he got he turned blue eyes on to the one he was with again. He was here to help her first and foremost, and he would not be distracted or swayed from this at all.

However he was a gentlmech and would not force her to begin until she was ready. His patience was limitless for such a task.

[blk_arachnia]

Once the order was place she took another sip of her drink. She wondered why he was doing this. Were all the Autobots from other worlds like this? Foolish enough to sit with a 'Con and listen to their story. Did they not think it was a trap?

She shook her head, clearing those thoughts. Perhaps she was further out of touch with her Autobot roots than she had thought.

"I'm rather curious about you. But I suppose any questions I have can wait." she spoke before downing the rest of her drink. Once the glass was empty she began to turn it in her hands.

"You've already spoken with Optimus and Sentinel, correct?"

[superior_tech]

He had to think for a moment and bite down the urge to start up on his own virtues again when mentioned of her asking him questions. That wouldn't do to get to why he was here, and what sort of autobot would he be if he didn't help her out, con or not.

"Briefly, your world is quite confusing and seeing two Primes bicker like that is hard to comprehend. Even as newly created Primes it seemed odd as Rodiumus was made a Prime in my world not long ago and he at least is trying hard to act as one to be followed while living in my world's Optimus' shadow."

[blk_arachnia]

The femme nodded. "Well, what I have to say might clear up some confusion about why they act as they do. You see the three of us used to be friends. Well...Sentinel and I were more than just friends but that's not something we need go into."

She paused as the waitress returned with their order. Once she was gone she began to speak again.

"It was a little over a thousand stellar cycles ago. We were all still young in not yet out of the Academy. Sentinel and I often got into our fair share of trouble, Optimus was often there to bail us out. And more often than not the troublesome situations we found ourselves in were due to Sentinel's sense of adventure."

She paused again to dig into the cheese fries she'd ordered.

[superior_tech]

"They do act like a lot of the younger soldiers running around Autobot city."

The almost sober comment is a bit ruined by the fact he's not one to talk about acting professional and his still awkward movements a bit.

"Through deduction of course that means that perhaps it was a case of something you shouldn't have been doing?"

[blk_arachnia]

She nodded again. "Correct. We had decided to visit an off-limit organic world. Sentinel claimed that he had heard about a Decepticon warship that had gone down there. So we were going to find and be set for life on energon. Because he figured there had to be a large stash of it on board."

She looked up at him as she fell silent again. How many times had she told this story?

"Of course Optimus objected, saying it was off-limits for a reason. Sentinel argued. I agreed with Sentinel. After all, it was just a little adventure, what could it hurt?"

[superior_tech]

He couldn't really argue on that, because that thinking had and still was floating around even during times of war. He only gave what he believed was a go on and I understand type of gesture if the short time around.

"I could see that, if it was not clear why it was off limits."

[blk_arachnia]

"As far as we knew there was nothing on that planet. All we could see was bare landscape and this rather pretty material. That later turned out to not be as pretty as I'd thought

[superior_tech]

He somehow didn't stare with his mouth open by the end of it. It didn't really seem like something that could happen let alone by those with Prime titles, then again his world, the war had made it hard to even leave behind when ordered with their numbers being slowly destroyed as they were.

"They did not at least come back to make certain? Even if they believed you to be dead, why was no one told so those who did have a the means to look could have. It..."

There was just a slight flapping of hands in lieu of the normal agitated wing movements due to body shift. Sure there had been incidents with the dinobots and stories of the aerialbots defecting at one point, but Sky Lynx wasn't there for the aerialbots, and the dinobots' behavior you had to take in stride and remember their might chooses who leads mentality.

"Even with the organic merging...that is no excuse to leave a comrade behind."

He was not a scientist so that bit had made little sense to him, but it wasn't really the important part at the moment.

[blk_arachnia]

"They thought I was offline and they never came back to make sure. They just left. I didn't see Optimus again until nearly a thousand stellar cycles later when he'd been promoted to Prime. And I didn't see Sentinel again until he arrived here as a human. And it is obvious they told others, the higher ups. Most likely Ultra Magnus himself. But even he wouldn't send anyone for me.

So, some Autobot code." Although her voice didn't carry the same venom it once would have.

She watched him for moment before turning her attention to the cheese fries.
