[It doesn't take her very long to arrive with a handful of supplies in hand. As long as he was sure that she couldn't hurt him, then she was more than willing to attempt to help.

Upon seeing a silver car, a Corvette as he called himself, she smiles warmly in greeting.]

Sideswipe-?

[stabbywheelfeet]

[Ah, that was the voice.

Sideswipe unfolds, the car splitting and twisting, until he is fully transformed, balancing easily on his wheeled feet. He does so slowly, fluidly, aiming to impress this human--as he always does.]

But of course.

[liveternal]

[She's seen strange things too, like demons and angels, but this was completely new to her. Her eyes light up in surprise and her smile widens.]

I wish I was as well balanced as you are.

[stabbywheelfeet]

[He rolls his shoulders back, definitely posing for the girl, and grinning. Making an impression on the humans is entertaining.]

Hardly anyone is. Impressed?

[liveternal]

How could I not be?

[It's probably a mix between curious and impressed, more so curious.]

... Are there any Autobots here beside yourself, Sideswipe?

[stabbywheelfeet]

I don't know. You'd be the first...

[Considering people here didn't seem to realize what class of warrior they were dealing with. He actually preens a little, until she asks her question. Armored plates twitch, and he looks away.]

... There are no true Autobots here.

[liveternal]

Well, you're certainly an impressive man, Sideswipe. I wouldn't let anyone's lack of noticing upset you too much. You'll only surprise them later, right?

[She frowns a bit and nods.]

I see... Will you be lonely?

[stabbywheelfeet]

Oh, I intend to. If they think they can keep me here... under their leash...

[He twitches a shoulder. He's not allowed himself to dwell on the others. It doesn't help.]

... No. I've been alone before.

[liveternal]

W-Well, I'm certain you could leave whenever you would like.

[And she wavers. She knows what it's like to be alone.]

We could- You know, be friends. If you'd like that?

[stabbywheelfeet]

And go where? I don't know how I was brought here... Or how to get home.

[He glances at her out of the corner of an optic, studying her silently for a moment. The loss of Prime is still raw, the others... worse.]

Are you honestly asking?

[No dismissal in his tone, just curiosity.]

[liveternal]

That is true, but if you ever need to leave, then you certainly have the ability to.

[Really, she had come to accept the death of her family, the orchestra, and her close friends, but it still hurt to think about it sometimes.]

Yes, honestly I am... Is that a bad thing?

[stabbywheelfeet]

I suppose... but to where? More of these countries I've never heard of?

[He rocks on his wheels, thoughtful. He's not adverse to companionship... it's just surprising to see it coming from a human.]

... No, not really. Unexpected, more like.

[liveternal]

Ah, well that makes sense... Most have come from different worlds or universes.

If it's about me being a human then...

[stabbywheelfeet]

So I've heard. Given... a few things, I... believe it.

[Such as this Prime who isn't.]

That's... part of it. You aren't NEST. Or connected to the boy. They were... the only ones we could really trust.

[liveternal]

So can I.

Well, that's understandable, isn't it? I'm not. Well, I know what it's like to have many humans and demons want to kill you or use you.

[stabbywheelfeet]

[He crouches slightly, tilting his head to peer at the girl.]

Demons?
