Admittedly, High Tide found it quite embarrassing to reach out for others to fix the result of his clumsiness — even if it’s a kid in the play — but something on that boy made him ease out and accept the offer. After all, Optimus spoke greatly about him — that is, if he was the same kid the leader talked about —, so he had to be good at his thing, and thus, the mech could trust him. Not the first time this happened and probably won’t be the last, he thought for a moment before giving the boy easier access to his frame to check his situation.
Curious green optics peeked down to him, internally wondering about that kid and his... intriguing set of tools, wandering in his thoughts for a moment. How old is he? 14? 15? How come someone this young know anything about fixin’ robots and engineerin’ in general? That suit looks way too advanced for him to handle though, let along be a hero and constantly be at risk of great danger... But hey, the mech can’t be the judge of anything, San Fransokyo itself was extremely rich in advanced technology as he already witnessed before... No doubt they could teach advanced topics to children in here, and no doubt they also learned to accept that not all robots are cruel machines in a place like this. It does feel like his home...
The question made High Tide break his line of thought and focus back to current reality, blinking a few times before looking down at the boy. “Oh, that pipe is connected t’ my mask when I’m in ‘robot form’, the mask’s used for protection and t’ keep water from comin’ inside. But y’are also right t’ assume it helps with air flow, but it’s more useful when I’m in my altmode,” he calmly explained, restraining himself from moving too much to avoid making the job difficult. “Optimus does know I’m here, don’t ye worry ‘bout bein’ at fault for this damage. Also... Are ye Hiro Hamada, by any chance?”
