Up on the Rooftop ((Day after E and R's wedding))

[notxpected]

Arcee was up on the roof again, but moved around the curve to mostly hide herself when the new bots showed up. She blinked, then stared at them curiously. She recognized the femme, but not the male

Starforge looks up at a sound from the roof and runs a quick scan. His brows raise at what he finds, and he walks over and engages his foot rockets to get up to rooftop level.

"Hi," he rumbles, grinning engagingly at the pretty pink femme.

Arcee's gaze snapped towards him, and she stood.

"Not a good idea to stand around here right now," she said tensely. "Especially not on the roof."

[random_xtras]

"I'm not on the roof," he points out good-naturedly.

[notxpected]

"You're right. You're above the roof. You're an even bigger target, congrats," she said, turning away and closing her eyes. "What do you want?"

He cocks his head and coms his mother, then smirks. "No yer not."

[notxpected]

"I am," she said, eyes narrowing. "Whether or not Prime told me to be. I'm a soldier, it's my duty to guard my teammates."

He just laughs and snatches her up, then shoots straight into the air.

She yelped, then glared and tried to wiggle free.

"Let GO OF ME!" she yelled. "You're gonna get us both DESTROYED!"

"I wanna know your name." He lifts his head and smiles at her again.

"Arcee. I'm a hunter," she sighed, squeezing her eyes closed and very nearly letting a shudder escape her.

[random_xtras]

"Arcee...." He contemplates it for a couple moments, then nods. "Pretty."

[notxpected]

She blinked, then stared for a moment. "It's... a name," she said, never hearing such a compliment before. "And it's not that impressive. Your dad heard my name and saw me he almost booted me from his training program. Thought I'd make a better lookout."

"From a supply dump."

All those dumps are back in their home system... thousands of years away. He shouldn't still have some if he were traveling under his own power.

"How'd you get this here?" she gaped.

[random_xtras]

"What do you mean?" He frowns slightly, wondering what she's asking.

[notxpected]

"It's... not possible to get here with this much feul to spare... how'd you get it here?" she said, staring at him.

[random_xtras]

"Ah. Chromia told me it was manners." His optics smile at her hopefully. Forgive?

[notxpected]

She smiled back tentively, then blinked as a thought struck her. She sat back, then looked around as if just realizing where she was.

"Let me go," she said softly, her voice turning worried again as she grabbed his hands and attempted to pull them off of her. "Let me go now, please."

[random_xtras]

"You don't gotta be on watch," he says plaintively.

[notxpected]

"And I don't wanna be HERE," she said loudly. "Let me go or I'll call Prime!"
