More News of Teletraan; Thrust Worries

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex is attempting to study an obscure text. She is somewhat distracted, still reeling a bit about the recent events, the new friend she lost so soon, and what an enigma he was... as well as the experience of having her innate abilities boosted by a Cybertronian with Mini-Con power-augmenting energy, without the need of the specific port that no one in her universe possesses... and a new dent in the wall that needs repair, introduced by a very large helicopter Cybertronian from a very alien universe. It's... been strange lately, even for her.*

*she blinks at him quizzically* You've already made your opinion of Primus' ways very clear; I see little else you can say to declaim his protection any further. *her tone is matter-of-fact, a simple observation*

Will you feel more at ease if I find a temple guard, then?

[startactician.livejournal.com]

If you can find one that is utterly trustworthy. *Thrust smiles ever so slightly, so innocently* And if you allow me to interview him first.

[primus_seeress]

*Her optics narrow at him, just slightly, growing irritated at his mind games* Any guard who already lives in a temple is trustworthy. A former one is working at Pyro's, actually, though I don't wish to disrupt his life or his job. I can visit one of the guarded temples, and ask if they can spare one.

Considering your lack of Trust in Primus' protection, I fail to see how any guard would meet your expectations; nor will they be amused at being questioned. And please don't wheedle; your thought-attitude is matching your outward expressions only very little. *A sure way to annoy the priestess, indeed*

[startactician.livejournal.com]

*seems shocked* Auspex, you wound me. I would not be so petty as to turn away every guard. But you know very little of security and deception, while I'm bonded to a Monitor. You don't want to be guarded by a fool, do you?

[primus_seeress]

Don't mock me with false emotion, Thrust. You know that I know better.

*She starts to say more, when she pauses suddenly, and her optics flicker. She does a bit of a mental double-take* ...bonded? Wait... literally? *she blinks ponderously* When did this happen?

*more blinking; she is effectively stunned speechless for the moment*

*triumph! Subject diverted!* *looks down a bit, almost seeming shy* Yes. It took a bit of effort, but we...completed it.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex would complain about the subterfuge... but truthfully, she is more than tired of discussing her safety; the change of subject is welcome*

*She tilts her head slightly, the beginnings of a glad smile making itself known* That's wonderful, Thrust! I'm so pleased for you! *she pauses a moment, chuckling softly at what she senses* I see that you're very proud of it, also; I suppose it is warranted.

In retrospect, were your fears valid? Do you regret the sacrifice of secrets? *probably rhetorical questions, but she is attempting to make a point*

[startactician.livejournal.com]

Actually, it was surprisingly comfortable. We shared more emotions than deeper memories, and at this point I have little to hide from him that would be at the top of my mind. We have an arrangement.

[primus_seeress]

*She nods in approval* I thought you might find that so. It is encouraging that you've learned to trust each other to that extent. You've agreed to avoid sharing memories, then?

*she pauses for a moment, as her optics flicker slightly* What was Windtunnel's reaction to this?

[startactician.livejournal.com]

He wasn't entirely pleased, but I think after this long he seems to understand that I'm not just messing around. He didn't try to stop us.

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex nods, looking a bit relieved* I'm glad of that; I was somewhat concerned. And... *she winces* Starscream? *She's unsure if she really wants the answer, but she feels she should ask, anyway..*

[startactician.livejournal.com]

*Thrust laughs, honestly this time* What about Starscream? He had no choice in the matter.

[primus_seeress]

I only wondered how he was taking it, or how Dreadmoon was taking him taking it. But I do think I am asking the wrong person. *her expression is somewhere between amusement and irritation*

[startactician.livejournal.com]

I was, quite honestly, not listening for a moment. *smug face*

[primus_seeress]

I wonder, more than ever, how Dreadmoon's sanity will survive a bond with both of you. You both have far too much pride. *she shakes her head, only half in jest*

[startactician.livejournal.com]

*Thrust chuckles, understanding completely* He is a powerful mech. He will manage.
