*She shakes her head slowly, unimpressed with his show of cheer, although she does accept the gift, peering at it curiously for a moment; such strange forms of energon, that he finds... She thanks him quietly, before continuing*
Thrust... I am sorry; but I had to endure the pain of a free-spark closing himself off from the song of the Allspark, because his mate cried out to him, and he'd made a promise that he wouldn't leave him. You know what it's like, to be severed from your rest... do you think I could look you in the optic, if you'd made a conscious decision to suffer that, summoned that much willpower, and call you a coward and a liar? That you had no interest in the well-being of the one who needed you? He most probably was how you say, at one time; I do not doubt that. Even he recognizes that. But he has changed, as people do.
These are only different aspects of a certain individual, at different points in time, living different events... but you can honestly tell me that I am missing a cowering deceiver behind a facade of trickery, simply because your rival is as such, at this point in time? What do you think I am? I cannot generalize; I must see for myself, on a case by case basis. It may put me in danger, but that is why I exist. To shelter me from that, is to deny me my function.
I took the risk to speak to you, when I met you; you would have me refuse others that same courtesy?
