Tailgate! Little one, I'll gladly hang out with you. Though I will warn you, I've damaged my sight some. Perhaps it would be fine for you to be my seeing-eye friend for a few errands?
[ There's a gentle chuckle. ]
You're free to say no of course. It would be nothing terrible, just some pick-ups of an Energon supply for my room.
[ Antlers gives the location of his room on the first level. ]
You can't miss it, but please don't judge how horrid it is right now. So many fights happened and I haven't had time to clean. Cause you know. Blinded. My sight should return in full force soon and I'll clean it then.
Ah, I'll remember that then. Only pets for you. [ Nod nod. ]
As for my injuries. The optics damage was from the Runt Megatron. The neck damage is from Riptide. I've been having a rough time. I'm sorry, I don't think I really know how to talk to people as it turns out. I keep making everyone want to have a shot to kill me! [ He laughs. ]
[Though clearly Tailgate is not upset by the amount of abuse Antlers has gone though. He feels like if Riptide is beating up Antlers, than he probably deserves it.]
Don't worry, as long as you don't try to hurt me or my loved ones, I won't have any reason to hurt you either!
[With that charming thought, Tailgate reaches up and takes Megatron by the hand, and starts to gently lead him down the hallway.]
Of course, I wouldn't want to make an enemy out of you. [ He grips his hand carefully to Tailgate's. Then loosens as he's bent over letting Tailgate lead him around. ]
You are much more dangerous than your cute appearance leads one to believe. I admire that. The power to protect everything you love. [ He smiles to himself. ]
[Tailgate makes sure to reach up and grab him again. He wasn't sure if Antlers wanted to keep holding on or not, seeing as he has him almost bent in two.]
"Built to be perfect?" What does that mean?
[That's such a puzzling concept to Tailgate. No one is perfect, after all, not even Tailgate's beautiful and handsome love of his life Cyclonus.]
It doesn't matter who they are anymore. I've surpassed them. I'll keep myself the masterpiece. But yes, I understand now I'm not perfect. [ yet. ]
I'm learning a lot while here.. it's opened my eyes... So to say. Even though ironically I'm blinded and need occasional care. The big Ratchet is the only doctor I trust here...

Date: 2021-11-09 08:46 pm (UTC)[Aaand Tailgate shows up a few minutes later. He must not have been very far.]
Knock knock!
[He says out loud while knocking on Antler's door.]
Action
Date: 2021-11-09 09:03 pm (UTC)Is that my little friend? [ He gets to his knees. Reaching a hand out to touch Tailgate's head. A gentle pat. ]
It is! Sorry is that condecending?
Re: Action
Date: 2021-11-09 09:05 pm (UTC)[Said brightly, but Tailgate allows it to happen anyway.]
So don't do that to anyone else my size. You have permission to pat my head whenever you want though.
You look really bad, who beat you up?

I'm a little jealous.

So, like, why are you the way you are? You act like you've never had a normal social interaction in your life.
You're lucky that I specialize in those kind of friendships.

Date: 2021-11-13 10:58 am (UTC)[ Megatron seems to tense a little with the hand letting him go, though he calms down. Simply listening for Tailgate's footsteps. ]
I don't think I have... I was built to be perfect and then no one told me what that meant. I had to trial and error that all my life.
[ Maybe its all those talks with Ratty, but... Antlers actually feel like he can admit this to another friend. ]

Date: 2021-11-14 02:06 pm (UTC)I'm made to be king. I was built with so much crammed into my system, I was called art work. Perfect
A masterpiece. And then I was left to fend for myself..

Date: 2021-11-15 01:32 pm (UTC)Because building someone to be perfect is just asking for trouble! Nobody is perfect!

Say, do you have any hobbies or anything like that? Besides making throne rooms and kidnapping minibots that is.

Date: 2021-11-16 05:59 pm (UTC)Hobbies? Hobbies... I don't think I do? Perhaps if you count artistry types. I like making blueprints for upgrades.
