Did you know we can talk to each other without needing to be near each other?

   To: Predaking

I just learned how. This is so cool!

  

[Deleted]

Surprised to hear a small "cling" in his auditory sensor, Predaking looking where it comes from. He includes only after few minutes.


To: @moonwing

I... yeah. Of course.

To: @moonwing

I've never used it before... but yes.

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

I never realized it was something we could do. I guess Dreadwing forgot to tell me.

   To: Predaking

So uh. How has your day been?

  

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

Dreadwing is a great warrior, not someone who speak so much. It's probably because of that.

To: @moonwing

It was... Boring... As everyday.

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

It seems Dreadwing doesn't tell me a lot of things. 

   To: Predaking

Oh, you're borded? Do you want me to sneak a datapad down to you later on? I downloaded a human cartoon earlier (please don't tell dreadwing, he'll get mad at me again) you might like

   To: Predaking

I just did more hand-to-hand combat training and didn't do well. I'm glad I'm doing my studies on my datapad now, because I'm sore all over.


Skyquake says I'm a disgrace and an embarrassment, and I think Dreadwing agrees. I don't think I'm ever going to get the hang of fighting.

To: @moonwing

Wh... What is a "Cartoon"?

To: @moonwing

Skyquake is just stupid. Do not lisen him.

To: @moonwing

If he hurt you, say it to me. He thinks he is better than everyone. He annoys me.

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

A cartoon is, uh, animated pictures! Here, look at these

   To: Predaking

I have to listen to him, though, 'cause he's one of my teachers. or he's my teacher's brother. he's helping Dreadwing teach me. He does teach some very important things

   To: Predaking

I'm sure I'll be okay. He hasn't pushed me off the flight deck again. I think you scared him.

  

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

So... it is "cartoon"? Hum. I will take a look to your pad, so. Can you just... come?

To: @moonwing

Skyquake is just a fool embittered. It is him we should push from the flight deck ... without wings. This seeker does not deserve to be your teacher.

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

I can't come now. I have to complete my.... 'homework', I think it's called? I have to take notes on major battle strategies and tactics. 

   To: Predaking

I promise I'll come later, though, so we can watch it together!

   To: Predaking

That would be mean, though, to do that. You'd probably get in trouble if you do it. I'm scared Lord Megatron might get very angry at you. 

  

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

I... see. Do your homework. It is more important. If Dreadwing give you them, it is that is important.

To: @moonwing

Megatron is never angry at me. I made less trouble than some people it seem. I am not really sure than he like Skyquake too, for exemple.

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

I am doing it, I swear!

   To: Predaking

It's just very boring. Very very boring. All I ever learn about is old battles and strategies and tactics.

   To: Predaking

Still, you should be careful. Lord Megatron doesn't like a lot of people, and I'm scared at what he might do if he decided he didn't like you, too. 

  

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

Battle... tactics? They have seriously something like that? You just need to know how to punch. No?

To: @moonwing

Do not be affraid. I am strong and... I do not see what he could do against me.

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

Oh, no! There's more to a battle than just punching! You have to know tactics and be able to guess what your enemy will do next. 

   To: Predaking

It doesn't help that I, uh, still can't punch. Or do hand-to-hand combat. Or shoot. Or much of anything, really. 

I think Dreadwing hopes I'll pick up battle strategy to make up for my abysmal performance everywhere else. 

   To: Predaking

Well... you are bigger than him, I guess. 

  

[Deleted]

To: @moonwing

Tactics? Like... Know where is the weak point of your ennemi? It is probably better for you, yes. It is true that you are not... "strong" like me. But trust me, in battle, you generaly do not have time to find tatics. You have just... Ideas.

To: @moonwing

Megatron is realy strong too. I respect him. He know how to lead. I just do not know him well and I do not like his idea to let me all the time flight deck. That's all.

[Deleted]

   To: @predaking

Dreadwing is able to spot weaknesses in an enemy's defenses in nanoseconds, and he can even predict where they'll move and how they will attack. Maybe I'm just not as quick or as clever as him. 

   To: Predaking

You're so strong, though, you probably don't need much strategy. I can't imagine many Autobots could stand against you for long. 

   To: Predaking

He still frightens me. Sometimes I think he does it on purpose. 

I think it's unfair that you have to stay out on the flight deck. You're small enough to fit inside when you're in your robot mode, anyways. We could share a room like some of the others do, and then I wouldn't have to find ways to sneak out to see you!
