there is a long pause between receiving this message and replying

[tsunclonus]

We are coming to get you.

We are going to talk later.

[daintylegs]

ok

voice

[daintylegs]

I think you should introduce yourself on the network Cyclonus!

You're not going to make any friends by avoiding literally everybody.

[tsunclonus]

I am not here to make friends, Tailgate.

[daintylegs]

You're not here to mope around and do nothing either. You're as bad as Megatron.

Besides, you don't have a window to moodily stare out of anymore, so you need to pick up a different hobby.

[tsunclonus]

I am not moping. I already have all the companionship I need.

[The corner of his mouth definitely isn't trying to twitch upward. It's an illusion.]

And I find the Observation Deck offers a lovely view.

[Also weird voices calling him.]

[daintylegs]

[Aww that's sweet Cyclonus.

But Tailgate's mind remains unchanged.]

Yeah, but the Observation Deck is creepy.

I have an idea! How about I make a post for the both of us? It'll be a sort of a general announcement that you exist. No one here will realize that otherwise.

[tsunclonus]

I will contact the crew when necessary for my assigned role. I don't see the point in announcing my presence otherwise.

[daintylegs]

[Something about this reminds him of something Getaway said once, and Tailgate can feel the insecure uncertainty creeping up on him.]

You're not embarrassed to be seen with me, are you?

[He looks genuinely worried for a moment, but he tries to shake it off. Of course Cyclonus isn't embarrassed to be seen with him!

Except that what if he is?]

Um, wait, what I mean is that it'd be better for the crew to see you before some horrible accident happens.

[tsunclonus]

What?

[Startled Cyclonus is startled. But hasn't Tailgate said something like that before? He'd never gotten an answer...]

Why would I be embarrassed by you?

[But now he feels kind of guilty that Tailgate would even think that. Has he made it seem that way? Better assuage that...]

...Alright.

[daintylegs]

Oh! No reason!

[Tailgate says far too quickly with a bit too much forced cheer.]

I'll set up a post later on! So I'll see you then!

[tsunclonus]

Tailgate-

[Never mind, he'll leave it for now. Tailgate will tell him in time, right? So he just sends a nod.]

I'll see you then.

[daintylegs]

Cyclonus, I'm taking Sideswipe's sword and I'm going to give it back to him.

[It's been long enough now that Tailgate thinks this whole thing is entirely silly.]

[tsunclonus]

[Tailgate's just going to get a nod in return, though he still thinks Sideswipe is likely to be a hazard with it.]
