Life of a Quintesson

Part 21.

The walk in the park was oddly pleasant. Orion and Megatronus were discussing politics of sorts, as I don't care about politics I just decided to tune it out and focused on my Predacon. She was doing rather well once again, taking in all the new sights. But that immediately changed when she saw a flock of bird drones, I felt her tense in my arms and she began started squirming to free herself. She managed to wriggle out of my grasp and took off running towards the flock.

"Springlock no!!" I ran after her.

The drones cawed and took off into the air before she was even close enough, the sparkling slowed to a walk and watched the fly away. Springlock watched them with awe as I caught up with her, for a little femme she runs FAST. She looked at me with a wide smile and pointed at the drones, jumping up and down.

"Fly! Fly! Fly!" She cheered.

That was a new word I hadn't even taught her yet, and she seemed to know exactly what it meant too. I grinned as I picked her up again.

"Yes, they fly. But you, little one, shouldn't run off like that."

Her response? Sticking her tongue out at me and pouting. With a sigh, I turned and walked back towards Orion and Megatronus. The gladiator was laughing while his cohort was smiling as I came over to them.

"Apologies, she's never seen any real wildlife before."

"That's alright, it was amusing to watch. It's almost as if she's a little hunter." Megatronus joked.

"Yes, almost..."

Oh if only he knew, but he won't. Ever. I don't trust him, not even my sparkling is comfortable around him. She doesn't know any better and it truly says something when she likes the clerk more than the gladiator. The 4 of us resumed our walk through the city park, which continued peacefully without Springlock pulling another stunt. I also kept a firmer grip on her this time as a precaution, fortunately there wasn't any more wildlife that she wanted to chase.

The 2 good friends continued to talk about more politics and I continued to tune them out. Why are they only focusing on that topic? There are plenty more topics to talk about such as weather, economics, the surroundings, how someone's day went, etcetera. Springlock just snuggled herself into a cozy position and looked up at me, blinking her bright blue optics and looking absolutely adorable while doing so.

"Ah scrap, I've been summoned back to Kaon. It's an emergency, I'm sorry to cut this meeting short."

The gladiators voice broke me from gazing upon my creation.

"It's alright, Megatronus. Do what you must." Orion said.

"I shall see you two later."

Megatronus rushed off, leaving Orion, myself and Springlock together. As we weren't that well acquainted, it was awkwardly silent for a few moments. That was until the blue and red Cybertronian spoke.

"Nex, how did you come to meet Megatronus?" He asks.

That was an oddly specific question.

"It sounds strange, but he approached my friend and I after we attended one of his battles. How did you 2 become acquainted?"

The two of us slowly started walking once again.

"I approached him in the city of Kaon one day, the rest is history. He is a wonderful friend to me, so much so I could consider him a brother in arms." Orion answered.

By the Allspark, if that is the case then how has he not developed a bad feeling about him?

"But you don't seem to be very fond of him."
