there was a moment of awkward silence , thinking over her options .

❝ if .. I happen to change my mind later on , would your offer still stand ? ❞

she’s beginning to realize there’s more to think about than her own interests .

the mention of Megatron visibly made her tense , helm turning to the side ..

❝ no . he doesn’t , which is how it’ll stay - ❞

if he even found out about her with an Autobot she can only imagine the damage he’d cause to her , let alone carrying ..

❝ I’m not leaving the Decepticon cause . ❞

that gave her slight relief , despite the inevitability of having to choose a path .

❝ good .
then … as his superior , I should probably also inform you that . . ❞

her sentence trailed of a bit , nervous to utter the news to someone else .
but she figured it was probably for the best .

it took a lot of willpower for her to not outright insult him immediately - a soft vent leaving her .
optics darting about momentarily to make sure there was nobody around .

❝ yes , it is ..💧
you must know how - dangerous it could be if anyone else were to find out … if word were to spread . ❞
