Blades concern isn’t truly ignored. Olivia does understand that compared to the large robotic aliens, humans were... fragile and easily damaged compared. Metal is easily fixed and welded together quicker than a human’s body could heal a broken bone. Had Olivia’s injuries taken a worse outcome, she would probably end up having to take longer medical leave for recovery. Patrols were pretty boring most days but even Olivia knew that trouble would always come as long as the Decepticons existed.
“Sometimes I forget yer a medic, darlin’.” She jokes, teasing her friend, trying to lighten the mood. There's a small comforting smile on her lips directed at Blades now. “It isn’t to say I don’t see ya fixin’ bots left an’ right, but when we’re around my kind, that skill of yers kinda goes unnoticed.” Blades nonetheless tried. Olivia knows the bot is aware of just how fragile humans are and likely studied all he could when it came to her species.
Olivia hums, thinking of the next words to say, her hand a little pat pat to the metal arm of her dear friend, her smiling not wavering. “Yer one of the quickest pilots I’ve ever seen, Blades. I know if somethin’ happened ta me, you’d be the first ta get me to the medical bay at base pronto.” As worrisome as Blades is, he is always on his feet and instincts when it comes to danger. Olivia could depend on her friend not to be like a deer caught in headlights where it mattered most.
“A scraped knee will heal within a few days. I’m sturdy for a human, ya know! I’ve been in worse scenarios than what happened on patrol.”
A forest fire that got a little out of control and needed to be securely extinguish the flames and Olivia just happened to trip during the evacuation of campers. The log she had tripped over is what left a painful wound on her knee but nothing a week off of it couldn’t fix. With the combined teamwork of Heatwave and Blades, who were on patrol with herself and others, Olivia was able to get out of there with only the burn and nothing else.
“Thank ya Blades. For bein’ there durin’ the patrol with me. I know it’s our job but... I do mean it when I say yer one of the best bots there is. I know nothin’ truly bad would happen ta me if yer around.”
