[....NON-STALKER HOBBIES, SWEET PRIMUS.]
[And yeah. That door? Pretty damn sturdy. You'd have to ram it for a good long while to get it down like that.]
[Other than scaring the femme out of her plating, a quick glance at the security feed shows her who's outside, and she's quick enough to open the door.]

[...he doesn't have any! D:]
[Well, at least that's reassuring. Nice, sturdy doors. As long as the Bending held, of course.]
[He's shoving at it, to find a way to knock it off frame, if possible, when Arcee opens it. So, hello, have a large white robot stumbling into your Medbay.]
[He frowns, straightening up.]
...that a problem? [Were you trying to hide something, perhaps?]
The security system locks down all the doors and windows, sealing them off behind blast shields. You can bypass a single one without unsealing them all so long as you have the proper code for the door or window you want open.
[She makes sure to show him the side doors and the back entryway as well, knowing he's going to want to see all the ways in and out.]
[His loud outburst earns a jump from the femme who pauses, peering back at him] Ratchet was the City medic while he was here. He was offering lessons on medical work so there would be a larger pool of skilled hands if something happened. It was the best way to make myself useful.
Codes go to Medbay residents. Also, Ratchet gave them to some of the Ascended, such as Lelouch and V.
[She just... looked at him a moment, rather bewildered at the sudden shift in questions. But... maybe he was one of those suspicious types. So, she'd oblige him.
As well as she could.]
I can't say I'm that interesting. Was a teacher before the War. When it broke out... well, I volunteered, and was trained for Intel work. [Small little shrug.] Not sure what you want to know about. Pretty open ended question.
...and me. [HINT. He would like your Medbay codes, Arcee. And look, he's asking so nicely.]
And Wing. [The two best fighters in Nautilus: it makes sense.]
[He had no idea who Pink and Crazy was before the war. Teacher? Maybe. All he knows is there are rumors she's so uncontrollable that her own side have a device set to crush her spark if she disobeys.]
It was open-ended. [See? He's being agreeable.]
[Until, that is, he moves his hands to his swords, ready to draw them.] What about Jhiaxus? [He is ready for CrazySplosion.]
That's not a bad idea, if you're helping with defenses. [The segue to Jhiaxus? She's not sure what to make of that.]
Jhiaxus? What about him? [She's... not sure what to make of him and his agressive attitude, but it's making her jumpy, unable to help glancing at those swords he carries.] I'm happy to say that I've not had anything to do with that nightmare.
((ooc: Given there's no canon mention of him, I'm just gonna say that yeah he was there, and he had a reputation, but Arcee didn't have any contact with him. XDDDD;;;))
I'll...make sure to remind you. [Since you're being so agreeable now, it's obvious it's all just an act.]
[He notices the way her optics jump to his hands, his swords.] Oh? [He steps a little closer, pitching his voice low.] Something making you nervous, Arcee?
[That? Oh, that's setting off every 'STRANGER DANGER' instinct Arcee has. But where they are, she doesn't have a clear shot to an exit, so... she just shakes her head, trying to remain calm.]
This situation's just got me on edge is all. [Not entirely a lie. Though Drift looming so menacingly certainly wasn't helping matters.]
[action]Pffff XDDD /Arcee-- HAS THE PERFECT DISGUISE, YESSSSwatchforthornsAugust 27 2011, 03:22:43 UTC
[The femme is more than a little flustered by this new development, taking a step back, though her frame stiffens when her back comes into contact with the wall.
Expression turning somewhat stern, she turns a level gaze at Drift.]
Drift, you need to back off. [Level tone, even if at the moment she's more nervous than anything.]
...thought you were a 'teacher'.

[Arcee raises her hands to help steady him when he stumbles, with a light chuckle.]
No, no problem. [Pff whatevs. B\]

[Drift jerks away from Arcee's hands. He doesn't need help. Least of all her help.]
Good. [He studies Arcee. She seemed...small. Really? The Combaticons were afraid of this?]
So. Show me around. [He throws it like it's a challenge.]
Reply
[The only fear she can attest to is the dread of students faced with a pop quiz.]
Alright. It's a pretty straightforward layout, really.
[Is just gonna move to lead him further in, not at all ruffled by his tone.]

[Drift grunts.] Straightforward normally means 'easy to defend once the door's breached.
[He follows after Arcee, attention split between the building and, well, Arcee. ]
SO. [He barks, loudly.] How'd you get interested in studying Cybertronian anatomy again?

[Drift stalks after her, eyeing her closely. Maybe this was the wrong way to go about it. ]
Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself.
Before Nautilus.

Is that all? I suppose it would be frightening to someone who was only a teacher.
[He leans closer, pinning her closer to the wall, one hand on the wall by her shoulder, blocking her in.]
You can tell me, Arcee.
