[ as he stood , Wisp backed up slightly ..
not really taking any chances , despite the lack of hostility .

optics glancing over to what he was working on briefly , then back to him .

she didn’t really want to leave - she still wanted to watch what he was doing . ]

[ she still remained where she was however . ]

[ she didn’t exactly appreciate the implication he could beat her so easily —
even if it’s true .

the only tricks she had were defensive , nothing offensive …
it was hard to pack any power in such a small frame . ]

. . . I - guess I can accept your apology ..

[ her optics squinted ,
unfortunately for him she had major distrust for Autobots .. ]

do you …
mean that ?

[ she’s hesitant , barely moving further out from what she was hiding behind . ]

[ a relief to hear …

but honestly being caught had her equally as freaked out !

pushing herself up onto all fours and darting behind something , audials slanted back while peaking at him ..
it’s a bit late to hide ….. ]

— ⁉️

[ with that she quickly scrambled back - about to go for the nearest exit !

if only she had been a little less clumsy …
in her panic Wisp had simply exposed herself completely , even falling over .. ]

oof - 💨 💧

[ optics narrowed ,
keeping herself still . not quite realizing what is was he was looking at in the reflection … ]

[ after a moment or so she peeked out again ,
seems she’s fine for now ..

it’s been a while since she’s done any spy work —
not that she needed to , this was purely her own choice . ]

[ her curiosity was thoroughly piqued ,
propellers giving an involuntary flutter . oops . 💧

she then ducked behind whatever it was she was peaking around … hoping he didn’t hear their movement . ]

[ Wisp inched closer , doing her best to remain quiet . just trying to get a better view of what he was working on … ]

[ cue this small mini-con spying on the READER —
keeping hidden and recording ! ]

𝘞𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯' 𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘴?

well she was certainly expecting to be scanned at some point , it’s all a part of recovery , it’s not exactly her first rodeo . except usually the medics aren’t so kind , more dismissive -

❝ of course ,
do what you need to . ❞

she chimed , giving a smile and keeping still for the scanner .

she is glad however that he hasn’t said anything mean about it -
it was refreshing …
made it easier not to hide .

Wisp has certainly had experiences along those lines , it’s not often she refuels in front of other bots .
mostly due to their typical reactions .

but she didn’t want to stunt her recovery by being stubborn , so whether he’s there or not she didn’t have much of a choice .

❝ mhm ! ❞

the mandible-like blades that chittered when free were careful not to break the vial as she downed the energon , visor clicking back into place promptly once done .

holding the empty vial for him to take back .

audials perked up at the knock ,
helm lifting to watch as he approached . staring momentarily at the vial , definitely looked much more her size .

❝ it’s much better . ❞

Wisp gave a smile as she took it into her little servos , visor hissing as it slid open like before .

the continued lack of aggression and his reassurance definitely helped to ease her ,
Wisp couldn’t help the subtle purr that left .

❝ thank you . ❞

the mini got herself comfortable once again while she waited , tail curling around herself a bit .

hopefully he could find something small enough !

time since the operation … ❞

speaking of , hiding so quickly like that made her ache a little extra ..

excuse the stare — she’s sort of waiting for him to switch up like most would and be mad despite saying he isn’t . this is new .

❝ I um . . don’t know ? ❞

her frame is relaxing a tad , but still tense .

❝ it’s fine - I’m used to it , I should’ve been more careful while moving for the first

Wisp peaked up at him …
a bit nervous to answer at first , but his lack of anger was a bit relieving . she thought he’d be more annoyed by the mess -

❝ well … I made a mess — I thought you’d be mad . . ❞

her audials were slanted back a bit as her optics gazed off to the side .

so instead she’s hiding under the pillow of the berth now ! she thinks he’ll be mad at the mess -
