Back from speaking with Telrim in the Nexus

Starscream strides into the room that she's set aside for the young yeerk's use, her steps sharp and precise as she focuses on her anger instead of the PINpoint that she just gave to the human woman she'd hoped to protect.

"You!" she says coldly to the creature, all trace of her usual friendly demeanor missing. "Have you been in contact with your superiors?"

"I will ride," Arrash decides, slinking on board. "These legs are too small to keep pace with you."

"I suppose we'll have to do something about that," muses the former Decepticon absently as she waits for the little being to get settled. Then she turns to the door and walks down the hallway, her soles tapping softly as she communicates with various assistants and associates in either Cybertronian or in the local human dialect. All this is business as usual (and perhaps another lesson as to why learning more languages might be advantageous, knowing her), but then she turns through a new doorway.

And Arrash will find herself under a slightly purple sky on a quiet street near the center of Starscream's complex. It's the first time the yeerk's been permitted outside the building she'd been housed in.

Arrash has already given its reasons for not knowing every language around it; any intended lesson will be ignored or pass unnoticed. It sinks into a half-crouch for balance as Starscream moves.

Only when they step outside does it rise, clicking as it scans this new scene, this new sky it is under.
