It was dark, pitch black dark. He couldn't see past his nose and that was only because of the glow of his own optics illuminating his plating just enough to be noticed and his tail's chevrons barely illuminated more than each other. He didn't know how in the Matrix's name was he going to find the items he was tasked to bring back to the palace.
The object he was sent to look for better be worth the trouble or, propriety be slagged, his sire's consort was going to get an audioful. He was really growing tired of Starscream and his games. His so called missions to help him gain wisdom and a plethora of excuses to send him away to perform tasks that Prowl was convinced were meant exclusively to amuse Starscream rather than to teach him something. "Valiant guardian he is," Prowl muttered in annoyance as he swam through the darkness of the cave, his wing fins performing two duties: assisting to propel him and picking up any sensorial input to help him find his way around the depths of the cave.
Prowl swam through the darkness until his wing fins picked up the relay of another presence in the cave, slowing down as he moved slowly and carefully towards the area where he could pick up the other presence.
"Not gonna try ta sneak on me, are you?"
Prowl gasped and flinched just a little as a bright blue visor lit up, illuminating partly a familiar, grinning face. "Jazz," Prowl muttered, mildly embarrassed at being caught off guard by his friend that was hidding his glowing tail behind a large boulder. "What are you doing here?"
Jazz shrugged and lit up an ornate lantern to cast some light in the cave. "Starscream sent me ta keep an optic on ya, make sure you wouldn't have trouble findin' the item he wanted."
Prowl frowned. "You mean he sent you to guard it until I'd find it."
"That too." Jazz shrugged with a cheeky grin, holding out the clam-like creature that guarded a pearl of sorts inside.
"That is what Starscream wants?" Prowl asked in disbelief, staring at the perfectly round, ripe and bright energon confection as big as his own hand.
"Yep!"
"He sent me all the way over here to get an energon confection." Prowl stated blandly, though Jazz could feel and see partly the quivering of his wing fins.
"Don't take it too seriously. I mean, this confection can only be harvested once--"
"Once every one hundred cycles. I know." Prowl grumbled and carefully reached to remove the confection off the meaty bed it rested on. "How disgusting." the chevroned mermech's faceplates twisted in disgust as he quickly maneuvered to get the energon treat before the clam would close itself on his hands. "I can't believe they like to eat this thing."
Jazz laughed softly, and swam to his friend, circling around him playfully. "C'mon, let's go back home." Prowl jumped when a fin slapped hard against the back of his tail and the lantern was turned off. "Race ya!"
Prowl watched as his friend swam away in the darkness, able to see the bright blue visor's glow along with the stripes of his friend's tail fading as Jazz swam away. Prowl smirked and held the goodie, cupped between his hands as he launched himself after Jazz as his sour mood dissipated with their impromptu chase in the dark.
