"Kigan?" Cureall laughs as Baby Ratchet zips over to cuddle with Chichi and Optimus. "Optimus, this is Kigan, you can let him in when he visits." She unlatches the door and slides it open. "Come in! It's cold out."

[kigan_starborn]

He steps in, his grin back as he pulls her into his arms and lays his cheek against her forehead. His emotions are full of relief and joy at finally being back with her, and he's warm as though he hadn't just been out in winter weather or the cold of space.

Optimus settles down on his aft to cuddle the lizards and watch with wide optics. The growing part of him that is chibi wants to squee at the sight of Cureall getting a hug, and maybe go and get in on the hug himself, but the part of him that's still Prime settles for smiling and feeling glad that the kindly femme has someone who loves her. He looks down at the lizards and tries to intervene in Chichi's determined efforts to clean Baby Ratchet's face yet again.

Cureall smiles and leans up to kiss him, very happy that he is back as well. "Missed you."

Baby Ratchet nibbles at Optimus' fingers before trying to groom Chichi in return. Cureall turns and giggles at all of them. "Kigan, this is Optimus, he is staying with this one, because he is little and needs a place."

[kigan_starborn]

He returns the kiss with a sigh, then beams at her. "I'm sorry I was gone so long."

At the introduction he smiles at the small mech. "Hi, Optimus. I'm glad to meet you."

Optimus tilts his head and looks up at him gravely over the lizards. "You really mean that, too."

Kigan blinks. "Yes."

[kigan_starborn]

"Job bonus...." His eyes widen and his smile vanishes at a sudden wave of intense sadness from the chibi. "Optimus, what's wrong?"

"I just miss her," says the little guy softly, absently leaning his head against Kigan's chest.

Chichi makes a little coo and licks him.

[violet_cure]

"Oh darling...I'm sorry." She sighs and pets the back of his helmet. "This one did not think."

Baby Ratchet nuzzles his head against Optimus and trills soothingly.

[random_xtras]

"I'll never get to see her again," says Optimus. "And even if I do, I'll still be just something little and cute."

Kigan goes :/

[violet_cure]

"Oh Optimus..." Cureall cuddles him close. Baby Ratchet squeaks and shows everyone images of a ferris wheel.

"Oh, you are right. We shouldn't focus on sad things."

[kigan_starborn]

He chuckles. "I know where she lives. She just started working for Charlie, and I brought her home after her interview."

[violet_cure]

Cureall brightens considerably. "Oh! That is wonderful!" She kisses Kigan again and bolsters Optimus up onher hip. "You go get her, and we il go get Sludge then."

[kigan_starborn]

"Alright." He gently brushes off the lizards, not minding Chichi's scolding, then strides to the balcony and is gone in a streak of light.

Optimus starts. "Wha... how did he do that?"

[violet_cure]

She grins and playfully jostles the Prime. "He just does. Come on, Sludge shold be on the commons of our level."

Carefully locking the door behind her she sets out with Optimus to find thier large friend.

[random_xtras]

"He's... a lot bigger than Amy," says Optimus slowly.

[violet_cure]

"They will find a way." She smiles. "Love always finds a way."

[random_xtras]

"Elita was small." He lays his head on her shoulder again.

[violet_cure]

She nods and snuggles him. "Alot of us are small though, at least compared to how you were."

As they approach the common area, she hears voices talking. "Hmm, wonder who Sludge is with."

[random_xtras]

"Can I help," Amy asks Sludge softly. She doesn't want to get in the way, but she helped to make the mess.

[dumbassludge]

"If you Amy want. Me, Sludge would like that." He smile softly and rumbles. He enjoys having her around and wants to make sure she understands that.

[random_xtras]

She stands on her toes and stretches as high as she can to kiss him again, then flies down to offer the back of her saucer form as a place to put things.

Kigan watches them as they gather everything and walk away chatting. "Something tells me you don't need to matchmake, Cureall."

[violet_cure]

She laughs and cuddles against Kigan with a smile. "Apparently not. It is good. She needs him, and he adores her from what he tells me."

Cureall then jostles Optimus. "What do you think? Do they look sweet together?"
