the birds and the bees

[deal]

Who: Cassandra (deal) & Tailgate (daintylegs)
When: Sometime between May 8-10
Where: Garden
What: Tailgate has to show something off
Warnings: Probably nothing, but you never know when you're considering giving the birds and the bees talk to a transformer.



[Still feeling a little amused from the conversation she and Tailgate have just had, Cassandra works quickly to finish up the job she's taken on. It doesn't take her too long, and she heads straight for the garden in order to meet up with him. She really doesn't want to make him wait for her any longer than necessary, so she winds up jogging most of the way there.

He's easy to spot once she arrives, and slows down to a walk in order to look cool and calm and not at all like she's hurried to get here. When she's close enough, she flips her hand up in a casual wave.]

I hope I'm not interrupting a pregnancy freakout.

[She teases, and her eyebrow arches as she tips her head to look up at him. She's most definitely curious about what it is he has to show her, but figures she might as well get all the sass out in the open right away.]

Comments

[At that, she goes completely rigid and takes a step back and away.]

You are not getting on my back.

[She doesn't know if she'll be stabbed in the process, or what. She enjoys Tailgate, but there isn't trust there, which means that she is shutting down any idea of too much physical contact. And a piggyback ride is way too much for her to feel comfortable.]

What about a handshake?

[daintylegs]

Awwww.

[Tailgate says, doing his best to convey his disappointment with his human features. It's a lucky thing he even asked, as Tailgate is very prone to inviting himself onto people's backs whether they ask for it or not.]

Ah well, a friendship handshake will do!

[Disappointment over and done with, he decides to move on. He holds out his hand to her and the most solemn and serious way he can manage. Which isn't easy when your face is naturally made for brighter things.]

A handshake works.

[She smirks a little, amused that Tailgate is so touchy feely. But given his personality, it makes perfect sense. So she extends her hand, allowing Tailgate to decide how light or firm the handshake is. ]

And we'll work up to a hug. Maybe.

[daintylegs]

[He eagerly shakes her hand and then holds on for about as long as she'll let him.]

You're just as bad as Megatron. He's all "I have never hugged a person in my life, Tailgate!" Which is impressive because he's, like, five million years old. You should see his holomatter. It's not very huggable.

Well, okay, no one can be as bad as Megatron. It's not physically possible.

Do you want to go for a walk? I like seeing the inside of the Moira from a human's point of view.

[deal]

You'll have to introduce me sometime.

[She's amused as she says it, nodding in response to walking around. Cassandra likes the garden, because it's as close to getting to spend all of her time outside as she can get. She finds that she misses home because of getting to spend all her time outside, and this is a nice fix for any homesickness.

She allows Tailgate to lead the way, walking alongside him happily.]

What does his holomatter look like, anyway?
