Reflect sighs sitting at Ratchets desk working on his studies. his sparklings and bondmate are still locked away in their room, as they had been for the past four days.
"you okay kid?" Ratchet asks. Reflect shoots a glance at him, looking utterly exhausted, before dropping his head down onto the desk.
"define okay." Reflect mutters. Ratchet gives him a sympathetic look. he knows it hurts both physically and emotionally to be away from ones sparklings for so long.
"whens the last time you had a cube?" Ratchet asks, walking over. Reflect sits up and shrugs.
"I dunno when I got up this morning?" Reflect shrugs.
"we'll you've been sitting in that chair for six hours, go get you a cube and take a break. those datapads aren't going to make you feel any better, but getting up and moving around will." Ratchet assures gently. Reflect sighs and gets up, nodding.
"have you checked on them today?" Reflect asks.
"I helped Ironhide clean up both sparklings and the room. there was purge everywhere." Ratchet frowns. "but they're okay, I promise." Ratchet assures gently. Reflect nods.
"Echo let you hold her?" Reflect ask.
"no she's pissed. they want you and Ironhide and no one else, though Remix does occasionally cry for Sunstreaker." Ratchet frowns. a small smile appears on Reflects face briefly.
"of course he wants Sunstreaker." Reflect chuckles softly.
"and Echo wants you." Ratchet murmurs. the smile falls off Reflects face.
"I know." Reflect mutters.
"I still don't have the hand written medics code for you finished. need a little more time." Ratchet says.
"I know that too. its alright." Reflect assures. he stretches and heads out of the medbay to get himself a cube.
Reflect plops into a chair, sipping his cube.
"hey, uh you alright?" a voice asks. Reflect looks over and straightens.
"Noah, oh hey kid. what are you doing here?" Reflect asks.
"Mirage needed to stop in for some stuff." Noah shrugs. "but are you alright? you look... upset." Noah frowns.
"the twins are sick so they and Ironhide are quarantined in our room, I'm just missing my sparklings and bondmate." Reflect says. Noah nods, he understands missing your family.
"I get that..." Noah murmurs. "but, the twins, they're almost a year old now right?" Noah asks. Reflect gives a small smile.
"I appreciate you wanting to try and make me feel better, but talking about my sparklings that I can't see won't help." Reflect says.
"sorry." Noah says.
"hows school?" Reflect asks.
"pretty good. having Mirage as a roommate makes it easier." Noah says.
"good, I'm glad." Reflect smiles.
"woah, these organics come in all kinds of colors." Cliffjumper says, walking over.
"Cliffjumper, thats rude in human culture." Reflect chides.
"oh, uh, sorry." Cliffjumper says, looking at Noah.
"its all good. Mirage is worse than that." Noah snorts. "he likes to point out all the different colors humans can be." Noah frowns.
"Mirage is weird." Reflect says. Noah nods, snorting. he heads over to talk to Bumblebee when the mech enters the room.
