17: Cheerful Times - S

Chase double checks to make sure Blades is all good now.

"This is the most cheerful I have seen you in awhile." Chase holds two cubes of energon, taking a seat beside Blades as he hands one of them over to the helicopter. "Finally figured it all out?"

"Yeah, I think so." Blades definitely seemed to be more in the right headspace now, but he wasn't fully there due to some things that arose earlier. "I set up a meeting to talk with my Sire."

"I see." Chase knew Blades had been seriously questioning a lot about that lately, especially because he was apparently alive all this time. "Do you need me to go with you for that?"

"No, I just want to talk with him on my own." Blades replies. "I have some things I want to ask him, but I don't know if I really want to see him."

"I understand that can be questionable, just ask Heatwave about it." Chase offers up some sort of suggestion. "Heatwave met his creators and I have had a couple times where he has told me about the visits to prison and how he sometimes isn't sure if he wants to go."

"But that is Heatwave, both his creators are messes and cruel, not to mention his carrier always cries now when he sees Heatwave!" Blades points out.

"Yeah, that was a terrible example." Chase realized that maybe bringing up that had not been the best idea, but it was too late to go back from that. "But it is always your choice if you want to see him or not and I bet he understands if you never want to."

"Yeah, but I have no idea if I want to tell him about this, us, and I don't know if I want Whirl to see him right now." Blades certainly felt some sort of burden on himself.

"Listen, I am not going to tell you what you should and should not do when you meet him but I will tell you this:" Chase could tell Blades was all tense, but it certainly wasn't his place to have him do something that didn't seem to fit right. "Go meet him and simply be who you are, be that bubbly mech that I love, and if it feels right to tell him about us and Whirl then you can do that."

"You love my bubble innocence." They were now both close, side by side, almost like a warm hug without hugging.

"That is who you are, and that is what you should show him." Chase says, then adding on: "my Sire surely doesn't like that about you though."

"His opinion would matter if he was alive." Blades states. "He isn't though, and you are not his son, you are the only one with good opinions."

"Speaking of good, have you seen my lucky duck?" Chase questions, sort of switching the topic, but Blades was surely in a better mood now.

"Your favorite duck hat you always keep in your trunk? Yes. Is not not still there?" Blades was now confused about what had happened.

"It was but it is now gone!" Chase explains. "I have searched everywhere but I can't find it!"

"It is ok, you will find it." Blades could only wonder as to where that duck went.
