[ 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 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 .

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 ! ❞

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 !

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 .

after a bit the mini got herself up , moving closer to the large energon cube . well - even just stepping onto the berthside table on all fours . she felt more stable that way . she was abouuut to try and have some , though Wisp might’ve knocked it over on accident …

well luckily enough she did end up waking a few hours later , giving as big of a stretch as she could without straining her frame . her propellers gave a subtle flutter as optics moved to the cube he had previously left on the table by the berth . way too big for her to effectively refuel from .

not to worry , it’s good survival to be a still sleeper . so there’s no risk of her tossing and turning as she recharges . one of her audials did give a slight flick , a subconscious acknowledgment of his presence as he scanned her . but she remained asleep , Wisp didn’t consider him a threat

when he had knocked Wisp didn’t even make a sound , she was still very asleep . her frame hadn’t moved an inch from yesterday . it’s been so long since she felt so safe and comfortable that her systems just let her go into such a deep recharge .

Wisp has trusted some of the worst Decepticons - even some horrible choices in Autobots , if she knew anything about what Pharma’s done she would probably still trust him . it’s a ‘weakness’ of hers … definitely gets her in a lot of sticky situations .

he certainly didn’t seem heartless to her , of course Wisp hasn’t exactly known him for very long . but he’s only been kind so far . it truly didn’t take long at all for the mini to fall asleep , purrs ever present as she recharged . after leaving the Decepticons Wisp had nowhere to go ,

if she wasn’t so sore he wouldn’t have to worry about crushing her - she’s good at dodging pedes . kind of has to be . 💧 also she’s definitely been mistaken for a sparkling a few times . Wisp settled once put down on the berth , rolling over slightly and putting herself in a more comfortable

❝ that’s fine , I’m used to things being a bit big . I wouldn’t mind if you carried me to the room . ❞ Wisp raised her arms at his offer to carry her , tail swaying a tad . even though it was his ‘duty’ he was being very kind . she definitely appreciated it .

❝ only if it’s not any trouble — I don’t mind not having a room . ❞ Wisp wouldn’t want to make him do any more work than he has to , so it was entirely up to Pharma .

❝ it wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t thank you for your hard work and care — I appreciate it . ❞ even if it was a service she paid for - although most probably would’ve turned her away given the complications of her size .

phew — 😮‍💨 she was worried he’d say no , definitely glad he’s letting her stay until she’s recovered completely . optics followed as he turned away and put the new cube beside her , that’sabigcube . oh right , obviously she has to thank him again ! he’s been so nice . ❝ thank you -

legs♡ I gotta reply tmr im too sleepy lol GOODNIGHT ACE

❝ right — sorry . um .. about being ‘desperate’ to leave . would it be alright if I actually stayed until I’m allow to transform ? ❞ her tail curled around herself a tad , servos gently taking hold of it and fidgeting a bit . ❝ I’ll send over the shanix now . ❞ with an extra 1,000 shanix for

she certainly wouldn’t have minded paying the real price , especially since giving so much trouble with her small frame . honestly Wisp would’ve expected it to be more , but she’s grateful . ❝ do you take direct transfer ? ❞ giving a slight tilt of her helm , finally sitting up - he did say

a week . . . that made her nervous , the mini is tempted to ask if he’d let her stay until then but - she wouldn’t want to burden him . optics glancing to the side in thought . a slight ex-vent as she looks back at Pharma . ❝ so - how much was it for the operation again ? ❞

no fights and no strains — a little easier said than done when everyone jumps at the opportunity to harm someone small and ‘fragile’ . bots these days … ❝ would transforming count as strain ? ❞ if she could transform then she could be out of his way quickly .

well , unfortunately she can’t play it off as common where she’s from - because it’s not . ❝ it .. has always been like that . ❞ a slight nod , that’s about all he’s getting in information from her . Wisp wouldn’t exactly protest an examination , not that she could do anything about it

❝ oh — well um ? I’m not sure what you want me to explain ? it’s just my face . ❞ yeah good luck getting her to explain , she was hoping because of the initial silence when it happened he wouldn’t ask . but it seems he did .

Wisp doesn’t normally eat in front of other bots — she’s been called many things and given many looks from doing such , although since she can’t really move there wasn’t any hiding it . but she wouldn’t deprive herself of energon just because of that , that would be horrible survival instincts .

the mini wasn’t exactly expecting him to go through the trouble of portioning it , but she definitely appreciated it . taking hold of it . ❝ thank you . ❞ with a slight purr escaping her digital visor let out a hiss as it slid open , revealing a mess of chittering blades that resembled the

❝ I wouldn’t have , my missions were purely solo . all of them . ❞

Wisp was never fortunate to be held in such high prestige by anyone , most of her missions went unknown by most . she used to report directly to Megatron himself . he wasn’t exactly the kind to give praise or even recognition in any regard . she’s worn out her use unfortunately .

Wisp was well aware of Ravage’s elusiveness , she had all sort of information on most Decepticons . however she was wary . ❝ I see .. ❞

❝ well - that is kind of my specialty I guess . ❞ being elusive . it’s necessary when having to spy and collect intel .

❝ I’m Wisp — ❞ she trailed off momentarily , yeah it made sense the other hasn’t seen her before . Wisp fairly recently left the Decepticons but - even there she was hardly known . ❝ I’ve been around here quite a lot .. ❞

ah — relief . 😮‍💨 tiny frame moving to stand on all fours .

she’s tiny and it hurts . 🥲

squirming . clawing the ground to try and pull herself out from beneath .
