I have been doing a poor job of attempting to follow a friend's advice. To try different things.

So I am... in need of some advice of how to properly. [Pauses.] How to find enjoyable activities. To r-word.

The usual methods have not been a sufficient method.

[thehardway]

The last one, I think.

audio;

[arnhaid]

... You can't remember the word relax?

audio;

[thehardway]

That should tell you how often I find time to do it.

audio;

[arnhaid]

Well... If I gotta unwind, I usually end up hittin' a few drinks, or seeing if anybody wants to throw down.

Dunno how helpful any of that stuff is for you, though.

audio;

[thehardway]

Throw down. Like a sparring match?

audio;

[arnhaid]

Yeah, that's it.

But, like I said, I dunno if that helps. I mean, it works for a bot like me, but... you're different. Like Nautica -- classy an' stuff.

audio;

[thehardway]

[That almost makes him laugh.] Classy, hm?

We can attempt a sparring match, Ironhide. I do know how to fight.

audio;

[arnhaid]

Yeah. Classy. Got a lot of processing power, too. Me? I'm the opposite.

[He shrugs, though it's still audio.]

If you wanna, I ain't busy.

audio;

[thehardway]

I appreciate that you think so highly of me, but I don't know that I agree.

I'd like to try. Where do you want to meet?

audio;

[arnhaid]

What, you don't think you're that bright? You seem like it from where I'm standin'.

Could always do it out by that pond thing. No one ever goes there.

audio;

[thehardway]

Sometimes I don't feel like I am.

On the contrary, I go there often. So I'll see you there.

audio;

[arnhaid]

Psh, nah. Don't say that.

Yeah, sure. I'll drive on over now.

audio;

[thehardway]

Thank you. For being considerate.

I'll see you there.

audio;

[arnhaid]

Just speakin' my mind.

[VROOM VROOM off he'll go.]

[thehardway]

[And Magnus will be there, waiting.]

[arnhaid]

[Up he rolls! Looking... positively cheerful, for once. He even offers the other bot a grin when he transforms, a grin, and a little wave.]

Hey. You got here quick.

[thehardway]

I wasn't far from it when we were chatting.

Hello, Ironhide.

[arnhaid]

[The grin stays put.]

You sure you wanna do this?

[thehardway]

I'm quite certain.

I'm prepared when you are.

[arnhaid]

Right then.

[He just hopes Ratchet doesn't mind getting called out, on the off-chance he damages this guy. He isn't going to try to hurt him. But with the size difference...]

[He rocks back a step, assessing -- smaller size probably means lighter on the feet. If he goes charging in, like usual, he's going to get sidestepped, quick. So he settles for a little circling. Stepping around toward Minimus' back, before he tries lunging in.]
