[Bumblebee falls silent again, trying to figure out what he could possibly do to make this better for him. He's learnt by now that sometimes you can't cheer someone up, sometimes they have to just let it out and actually be sad, but this? This is stupid. Riptide didn't deserve to feel like this, and he certainly didn't deserve to have everyone mad at him for something he hasn't done yet.

So he scoots over, carefully putting his arms around as much of Riptide's faceplate as he can, resting his own helm against that diamond. It's the best way he can hug him right now, with the awkward angle.]

You haven't burned this bridge, Rip. I'm not gonna judge you on something you haven't even done yet. Something that you might be able to change! [He lets out a shaky vent.] I don't think... I don't think you would do something like that on purpose. That's not you, and you know it. You wouldn't be this upset about it if you thought it was right, right?

[he tries to hug him closer.]
