Auspex's reality. Sanctuary of Primus. Portent.
((Happens at the same time as the latter chapters of this.))
Hot Rod: *pauses a moment at the sanctuary... unfinished business* *appears in front of Auspex* Thanks
Auspex: *is somewhat startled to see a ghostly Hot Rod, having known no previously dead ones...* *she tilts her head, sensing Primus' rather complicated aspect, at the moment. Her voice is soft* For what?
Hot Rod: *quietly* For trying to help that day I was here with Soundwave.
Auspex: *optics flicker, she frowns at the implication. She's silent for a few moments* I... that is why I am here. Though... I appear to have been a bit late. *she sadly gazes at his state*
Hot Rod: *reaches to touch her face gently* You can't fix everything. Some stuff is just too broken. But I'm alright now. Don't cry, okay?
Auspex: *sighs, bowing her head slightly* ...I know. It's a lesson I must learn, and relearn, always.
*she reaches up to take his hand from her face, curling her fingers around it, patting it slightly with her other. She attempts a smile* I am content that you are no longer forced to bear your burdens... I only wish it were not at so high a price.
Hot Rod: *gives her a ghost of his old cheeky grin and kisses her on the forehead* It doesn't seem high to me, Auspex. I get to be back with everyone I love... I can hear them calling me now. *slight headshake as his optics gaze into hers.* No... not too high at all.
Auspex: *smiles a little more easily, squeezing his hand a bit in thanks* I'll not keep you, then. Primus is distressed; I feel that I will soon have news of what has happened in your universe. Until then, I will concentrate on being content that you are content. Thank you for coming to see me. *another sad smile, before she releases his hand*
Hot Rod: *a bit more cheer in the grin now as he starts to fade* Unicron is getting pwned.
*and then he's gone*
Auspex: *blinkblinks, giving a little half-chuckle, half-sigh. Unicron never goes out without taking many Cybertronians with him. She wonders how many more that she knows will be lost... but it is a slight consolation that, somewhere in reality, the Chaos Bringer is getting trounced in return.*
