*the priestess is attempting to study, but she feels restless, somehow. Primus seems to be telling her that she's waiting for someone, or something... but is no more specific than that, no matter how much she questions him

And two guests arrive, though the one will only stick around for a very quick catch up and a hug since he's got to go talk Kup's ear off.

[corruptedhope]

Scourge's optics light up in recognition as he sees the sanctuary. "I know where we are!" He looks around for Auspex's familiar face.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex is nudged softly out of her commune, as two presences are suddenly nearby. She stands, scanning the room, quickly finding her visitors. Ratchet -- a free-spark, who Primus identifies as the one who has brought her messages from the Allspark, before. And... a Sweep.*

*She recalls her recent conversation with the fem - Threnody - who told her she'd met a Scourge from another dimension, one who denied claiming his position as Cyclonus' second. On the remote chance that he'd been the same one Auspex had counseled, and the even remoter chance that this is the same one that Threnody met...

She'd like to hope this is him. She's prayed and hoped and wondered for and about him - how he's handled his problems, how much he's recovered - but who knows what Primus is up to? Remote chances are very likely.

Hello, Ratchet. And... *she hesitates* Scourge? You aren't by chance... the one I have counseled? *she can't help sounding somewhat plaintive*

[random_xtras]

"Well, he knows you anyway." Ratchet beams, a hand still on Scourge's back. "Hello, Priestess."

[corruptedhope]

Scourge has squirmed out of the hand on his back the moment it made contact, for reference. He can't stand having anyone touch him on the back or wings--bar Cyclonus, and even with him it's tricky.

"Yes. And you have no idea how good it is to see you." He can barely resist grabbing at her hands for support. Help!

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex's optics brighten with a delighted smile* I very much second that. *she approaches quickly, taking the matter out of his hands quite literally, as she reaches for them - slowly enough that he may back away, if contact still frightens him* How are you? How do you feel? *she glances up at Ratchet, blinking a bit* Why are you two here together? Scourge is definitely not dead. *she smiles with gentle humor*

[random_xtras]

He chuckles a little, but shakes his head gravely. "Galvatron took off while we were welcoming Kup, and wound up in the Nexus. Scourge was the mech she decided was going to help her get back to Char. The boss said to bring him here on my way home."

Very embarrassed and frustrated, he feels for a moment, but then he goes back to compassion for Scourge and excitement about what's going on at home.

[corruptedhope]

Scourge gently wraps his fingers around her hands, touching them ever so lightly and tenatively. He nods in agreement. "The...it forced me to take it to its dimension. I didn't know what to do."

[primus_seeress]

*Her smile is overshadowed with concern, as Ratchet explains. She tightens her hold on Scourge's hands, just slightly* Oh dear... are you all right?

*she blinks between her two visitors* But why Scourge? How in the universe...? Oh. *again, she remembers her talk with Threnody* I met a Decepticon fem in the Nexus, she mentioned she'd met a Scourge, I thought it might be you...

Galvatron came? And she possessed you? *she frowns worriedly... she assumes Scourge has grown in strength, but possession? That's unnerving enough for any mech, let alone everything else Scourge has been through...*

[random_xtras]

"I think he was just there." Ratchet scowls slightly. "She'd gone to see her creation."

Then he puts an arm around her shoulders in a quick hug. "But I'm just here to give you a quick update. Spike was with us when we came to get Kup, and he's seen his sister now. And... I felt Teletraan when I was there, so he's in the capital."

He steps back then, giving Scourge an encouraging smile.

[corruptedhope]

Scourge avoids his gaze, still holding hands with Auspex. "Yeah. Went to ask Ratchet for help but it stopped me and made me use the PINpoint. Didn't even know what was going on."

[primus_seeress]

*She gently lets go of one of Scourge's hands, to return Ratchet's hug with a pat on the back. She smiles at the news* Oriana saw him as well, or was she aware? Also... Teletraan came to visit me recently. He goes by Blazer, and he's evidently been back in the living world for several vorns. That was... quite a relief to me.

*she sighs a little, shifting her fingers around Scourge's* It brought you no comfort that it was Galvatron..? Are you all right, now? *she glances at Ratchet again, slightly petulant* Primus should scold her..

[random_xtras]

Ratchet's mouth falls open with surprise at her words about Teletraan, but then he closes it and nods. "Everyone saw him. And... Primus should kick her in the aft, but anyway. I have to go. Be safe, alright? And you too, Scourge."

A last grin. And there are suddenly only two Transformers in the sanctuary.

[corruptedhope]

Scourge relaxes rather obviously once Ratchet disappears. "It wasn't Galvatron," he mutters, clutching her hands a bit closer. "It was something...different. And short, for some reason."
