Cliffjumper leaned back in his chair, stretching his sore shoulder articulators. He ex-vented softly, looking around the office; his Sparkling had vanished again. Spotting multiple datapads lying next to each other, he reached out a servo, hesitating. That one. He brushed two digits along its side.
The datapad blurred and morphed into what some mecha colloquially referred to as a ‘bean’.
Tickle. Darker patches spread across its front. Funny.
"Do you know what time it is, Azoth?” The red mech smiled softly.
The Shifter-class Cybertronian’s sides wiggled happily and it opened and closed its mouth a few times.
“You got that right.” Cliffjumper held out a servo, allowing his Sparkling to flow around his digits and form a band around his wrist. It morphed again, forming what the Intel Prime had discovered was a Terran invention, a wearable chronometer, primitive even by the humans’ standards. The dial on its face spun before pointing to the current time.
He tickled its sides again, pulling his servos away with a frown and tapping the communicator on his helm. Who could be pinging him at this megacycle?
