Do your job. They both did. It wasnāt the easiest thing to explain, the fraternisation, as that typically meant the exact opposite of what they were doing. It wasnāt easy for the others to accept it as completely unrelated, even in trusting the scout to give nothing. That it wouldnāt interfere with his ability to perform. Dangerous. Bumblebee got away with it easy enough. Barricade wouldnāt have it so easy, he figured, if heād been caught instead.
The question resulted in the younger of the pair turning up his nose. He let his head loll to the side facing opposite Barricade, āwhrrād at him, and swayed as he made to turn. Bumblebeeās movements were slow and exaggerated, driving the act just that much more. After having spent the larger portion of his day searching for what may have been a ghost he didnāt have much intention to keep the act going on for too long; Although things may be quiet right now Megatron had been known to be more than volatile which meant that their situation could change very rapidly. Even if he didnāt resurface the Decepticons werenāt exactlyā¦a welcome presence, particularly concerning the humans. The risk might be too high for Barricade to humour their game as frequent as before. More importantly, heād been ready to go since earlier. He was going to take the opportunity with little fuss. Of course, āa littleā was required.
Whether or not he wanted to allow Barricade to close in on him or not was the harder decision; falling in line with that other thought Bumblebee really hadnāt any idea what he may have been up to or how long heād been roaming. Did he have anywhere to fall back to and how well was he making out if not? Did he really have the energy in him for a chase or if he prompted a fight?
Not really his place to ask. Besides, he could take a lot from Barricadeās stalking. That he didnāt stop or pause. Just give him more room to react within and take it from there.
Bumblebee faced him fully and dropped his arms to his sides and retreated a few paces backwards out toward the road. Although hardly anyone came down this way beyond morning it was still a bad spot ā a few too many things in the way, and the small chance theyād involve a passer-by. He hesitated long enough to give him a once over. āYou will have to earn it.ā
