He's just so excited, so...Nervous to even approach the taller mech, but his excitement eventually won him over and a giant mech around magnus' size came lumbering over, a gift wrapped in his large hands. "Ten..?" (thekindlegislator)
An optic ridge raised as he looked at the approaching mech. It was clear he had a gift to give Ultra Magnus, but beyond that, Magnus couldnāt be sure what exactly was happening. What had Magnus done to merit a gift? Was he expected to reciprocate? He was always terrible at dealing with social situations such as this one.
thekindlegislator:
The excitement and confidence he had gained before seemed to deplete once he was face-to-face with Magnus. He was left incredibly nervous now, his smile never faltering, however.Ā āTen, Ten..āĀ āI have a gift for you, it took a long while to make. I would have given it to you sooner, butā¦I have been busy.ā
He opened his servos and lightly began to peel away layers of cloth wrapped around the item until it was finally revealed.Ā in his hands was a miniature of the enforcer, Magnus armor and all. Ten smiled proudly at his work, digits gingerly reaching over and with a small click the figureās head popped open to reveal a small Minimus inside.
āT-Ten.ā
āIā¦.I hope you like it sir. Itās not much, butā¦Perhaps a figure of yourself would be a nice knick-knack for your desk.āĀ
Heād heard about this bot, but had never had the time or opportunity to interact with him much in the past. Social protocol remained, but Ultra Magnus hadnāt been much on speaking terms with said social protocol since before the official onset of the war, which left him at a loss as to how to respond.
He wasnāt quite as adept at understanding what his companion was saying as he had been at understanding Bumblebee when theyād first met. After all, Bumblebee was using an entirely different manner of speech, one with which Ultra Magnus was familiar, despite not using it himself. Now, though... it was all in one word. Context and a lot of guessing would have to come into play.
The context now was clear enough even for Ultra Magnus. He allowed the smallest of grins to cross his face plates, and he nodded as he looked down at the figure. Not many knew of his history as Minimus, fewer still realized that a frame upgrade had occurred alongside the change in name, but Ultra Magnus had done little to disguise his past. His records were there for any who were curious. Most people who met Ultra Magnus were fortunately not curious about his past, but he found himself somewhat relieved that this mech was different in that respect.
āThat is quite thoughtful of you. I find myself surprised at the accuracy of my former frame hidden inside the current frame. You have done your homework.ā
