Okay, haha, joke's on Fulcrum. It's hilarious, really.

But seriously, I'd like to know where my stuff is. Y'know, what few belongings I have in this place anyway.

My flat's suddenly looking more vacant than usual. So, whoever's playing this little prank, you got me. You got me good. I applaud you. Now give it back.

[Yeah, he'll ignore the potential for "I told you so". For now.]

An' you don't remember none of that?

audio;

[forcowardice]

N-no. No, I don't remember him.

Until today, I thought I was the only Decepticon here.

audio;

[arnhaid]

[He kind of growls -- he can't really help it.]

Go find Ratchet. I dunno if he can do anythin' about memory scrap but...

This ain't right.

audio;

[forcowardice]

[He flinches at the growl, but he suspects it's not because of anything he's done, really.]

...Yeah. Okay.

audio;

[arnhaid]

... You ain't scared of him, too, are you?

audio;

[forcowardice]

What? Decepticon guy?

If there's one thing I know, I should be a little bit scared of people around me. And a lot scared about guys like you.

audio;

[arnhaid]

Nah, Ratchet.

... yeah well. I never heard of you before this place happened. So. I don't got a problem with you.

audio;

[forcowardice]

I'm less scared of him than most other people. Doesn't mean I trust him entirely.

Didn't stop you from picking me up and shaking me, did it? [He pauses, then adds:] Which, by the way, I appreciate the apology. Even if you kind of have a bad way of telling it.

audio;

[arnhaid]

Sort of your best bet, far as I know.

That was one time... Bah. Sure. Not exactly easy to do, y'know. Apologizin' to a 'con.

audio;

[forcowardice]

Yeah, I guess so.

It's not so hard. You just need to do it with less anger in that voice of yours.

audio;

[arnhaid]

That really gonna make a difference? With all you cons so busy screamin' and runnin' no matter what comes out of my mouth?

audio;

[forcowardice]

Hey now, tone can help. Kinda like how you're not snapping at me right now and instead just looking incredulous.

audio;

[arnhaid]

"Incredulous" is kinda the default state of me these days, t'be honest.

audio;

[forcowardice]

I'll totally take it over you shouting or punching or shaking me. That's all I'm saying.

audio;

[arnhaid]

You're never gonna let the shaking thing go. Are you?

audio;

[forcowardice]

Eventually, eventually!

audio;

[arnhaid]

I'm gonna hold you to that.
