"What is a sire?"

A confused expression crossed the femme's face at Soundwave's question. It was starting to hurt her brain, hearing all of these alienated terms. They sounded so surreal. Then again, this was coming from a girl in the hands of a giant robot- one that could fit an entire human body in its hand.

Lynlee played with her hair, expecting no answer in return. Soundwave was a bot of little explanation- it was normal for him to simply ignore the question, but this time was different.

They were playing twenty questions. Something that Soundwave has discovered was of little importance and held no significant meaning whatsoever. It simply indulged in the humans overbearing, and annoying, curiosity.

Yet, here he was playing along. The communications officer couldn't help it. He himself was full of questions and curiosity that should never have gotten the better of him.

"Human... fa-ather. Human that-that...holds repro...repro-duction capabilities- one that... h-holds se-ed-"

"Okay! Okay, I get it." Lynlee shook her head, a blush spreading from her face down her neck. She coughed while continuing to nervously fidget with her hair.

"So a sire to you guys is like a father to humans?"

Soundwave simply nodded, pushing away his want to explain any further.

"A-and you want to know who my-my sire is?" She trembled at the thought of the monster who brought her into this world.

He stopped, noticing Lynlee's immediate discomfort. She continued to shiver in from both the fear and cold. It was growing dark out, and they still stood in the middle of nowhere.

Soundwave has been pushing aside Megatron's orders- something he seemed to be doing often lately. He just knew though, that the faster the job was done, the faster he would be back on the Nemesis. There was too little time. He needed to figure out a plan. He couldn't return yet.

Without thinking, Soundwave bright his servo closer to his chest platings, where his spark hummed. The other servo hovered over the top of Lynlee's head, creating a small bubble of warmth as she comfortably pressed into the surprisingly warm metal.

She gasped as the heat began to get warmer, and snuggled closer, wanting to absorb as much of it as she could.

Though he would never admit it, Soundwave felt a small level of satisfaction at the femme's actions. Though it sounds impossible, Lynlee could have sworn she heard the humming in his chest grow louder.

"H-human femme... sca-red. Scared- o-of sire?" Soundwave stopped walking and observed the area around him as he waited for a response.

It would get colder- it was towards the end of the earth's cycle-soon white frozen particles would be falling from the sky, and the temperature would drop. Though he knew it would not affect him unless it went subzero, Soundwave understood enough of the human race to acknowledge that human flesh was... inferior. Very squishy and delicate.

She would get cold.

Soundwave didn't want the human uncomfortable.

He also wanted to smash his processors in for caring so much.
