14th Transmission -- Action

[Ironhide was out attacking the tree when the snow started. He should have stopped, and trundled on inside. Instead, he stayed put, pounding on the tree and generally hating on the world around him.]

[... There had been much talk of that Christmas holiday, lately. And of course, what should stand out in his mind, but the Elegante. All the more ( Read more... )

[The snow was bringing bad memories with it, and Jetfire had had all the intention of staying inside... except he had to try didn't he? So he'd tried to go flying, carefully, but truly, if it made anything better he didn't really have a chance to find out when that huge clang echoed all over the keep.]

[It wasn't hard to find its source, and Jetfire, briefly, feels a guilty flare of gratitude. He doesn't have to deal with the snow, and the cold and the creeping--- Anyway. Nothing right now.]

Ironhide? Do you require some assistance?

[Jetfire started to speak even before he handed, snow and forming ice turning into slush and then just evaporating away under his afterburners, clearing a patch of bare ground where he landed before he reached out.

Better not think of the snow that was still falling, attempting to cover the warmed ground even as he spoke.]

[The sound of jet engines has him struggle up enough to raise his weapons to the sky. If he's being attacked, he's going to go down fighting -- no two ways about it.]

[But then there's a familiar voice, and he lowers his cannons, using his arms to lever himself onto one side.]

Kind of.

[He's sprawled on the pathway in the snow and the cold. "Kind of" is an understatement.]

[Yes, that's certainly someone who needs assistance, and no "kind of" or two ways about it. He hadn't bothered to react about the cannons being pointed at him... he's used to what at least he considers more or less friendly doing just that.]

Ice isn't the most stable of surfaces to walk on.

[It's not hard to figure out what happened, and while he didn't slip when that happened... Shaking his helm, Jetfire comes over and kneels down beside Ironhide, hauling one arm over his shoulders, the boosters hindering it from slipping down.]

What's the damage?

[There's snow settling on the black metal, and Ironhide feels cool to the touch. It's enough to make his engines hitch, just for an astrosecond.]

I did not see the ice.

[It's a flimsy excuse, and he knows it. But "I didn't care about the ice" is an even worse excuse, and is more likely to end badly. He keeps that bit to himself.]

[When he's hauled up, he gets his good leg under him easily enough, grasping on to whatever part of Jetfire's armor is in reach to keep on his feet. Testing his weight is an interesting experience. The leg buckles, while warnings shoot over his HUD, and the act of trying to stand becomes an exercise in ignoring pain.]

[Great.]

Hip joint. Landed on it. Not going to hold me up.
