dv, Perceptor and Kia's facility, Quiet day...
Kia: *sitting in the living room on the foot of the big sleeping pad as she does some analysis theory and is there for the young ones if they need her*
Blackout: *hugging a sleeping Bumblebee and trying to keep her optics open*
Kriti: *curls up next to Blackout, Dolly ducked firmly in the crook of one arm*
Kia: *glances over, but doesn't want to intrude on Kriti's space and her choices. Instead she gives the three young femmes a smile before she turns back to her datapad*
Kriti: *shutters her optics and moves to suck on her thumb a bit*
Blackout: *gentle arm around Kriti, and then perks slightly as she catches a com message* Jazz is coming.
Kriti: *soft sound of acknowlegement, continues to suck her thumb*
Kia: *looks up and scans her youngling* Are you tired, Miss?
Kriti: *tired sound, is showing a slight strain in some of her systems*
Kia: *reaches to gently touch her foot as she starts putting together a slight firewall patch*
Kriti: *quiet clicks* Sad for Aunty....
Kia: *softly* We all are, my Miss.
Blackout: *nods and lowers her face over Bumblebee's little head*
Kriti: *nuzzles against Blackout, and resumes sucking on her thumb*
Jazz: *pops through the door, his wheels leaving the ground! Does a dramatic transform and lands gracefully! And then sighs and wanders over to sit by Blackout and Kriti* Hey, Kia.
Kia: Welcome home, Jazz. How was your day?
Jazz: Not too bad. *snugs his lady and looks at Bumblebee tenderly before reaching to touch Kriti*
Kriti: *soft noise from around her thumb*
Jazz: *softly* Hey, little bitty. You got some love for ol' Jazz?
Kriti: *okies, maybe move a little... enough to flop on both Blackout's and Jazz's laps*
Kia: *transmits the firewall patch to her and then gets up to get get a blanket for her*
Jazz: *rubs the little femme's back and croons to her*
Kriti: *quiet clicks, snugga Jazz and Blackout*
Kia: *comes back and covers her, then tucks the blanket carefully as she makes soft clicks herself*
Kriti: *quiet murmur, before she powers down for a nap*
Jazz: *settles down to form a snuggle pile, giving Kia a sweet and puppy dog look*
Kia: *shakes her head with a chuckle and gets the rest of the blankets. Covers up all the young bots, and then goes to see what has Perceptor transmitting muted excitement*
