[he looks over at sunstreaker.] Yes. It does seem that way.

[it's hard to tell how he feels about that little factoid-- he keeps it neutral. primal, like many others, wasn't thrilled to find out what happened to earth in this reality, but he keeps it to himself. it's not something to talk about.]

That's correct. We had to move around a lot. [keep the key on the move, sometimes people found out about it, sometimes their paranoia got the better of them. ultimately primal's team opted to stay near the site their ship landed.] Guadalajara was where we were based for a while before the city built up.

[he focuses back on the mural.]

...I apologise, I suppose I just didn't realise I was feeling slightly homesick.

Why are you apologizing? Earth was shitty, but it didn't suck all the time.

[Just most of it. Sunstreaker turns his eyes away to see the very happy Bob open his steel grill to reveal the razor sharp maw. He takes the daintiest of nibbles from the crystal, squeaks in pleasure, and takes off to go back inside his tower house with it.]

And he didn't remember to say thank you.

[He's a lot more amused than offended. Maybe he lets Bob get away with too much.]

[he shifts a little awkwardly, and almost looks bashful for a moment. he'll take the change of subject with bob, turning back around to watch him retreat. part of him thinks he should've broken it in half so sunstreaker could have some too, but he also realises it's likely sunny would've just given that half to bob anyway.

worrying his hands for a moment, primal doesn't think too much about how he feels like someone with such great talent should have something nice, perhaps, after such a horrible week, or that he should have it anyway because regardless of what sunstreaker thinks, he deserves good things.]

...I will need to visit many planets we pass by with Cayde while we find homes for some of the Hunt beings we caught. I will make sure to keep an optic out for paint for you.

[His face does not heat up, his fingers don't twitch from even the mention of paints. Definitely not.]

You don't need to do that. I get by fine. The paints I prefer are...particular.

[Mainly getting back into art had him mixing his own. He didn't want to explain the effort it took or all of the ingredients he used. He's not ashamed but...maybe he doesn't want to deal with the potential weirdness.]

If anything, take those kiki things off my hands. I don't know what to do with them and Bob keeps want to make them hive and I'm not having it.

I don't mind, if you tell me what kind. I hardly use the stipend we get, anyway. [he had basically forgotten about capitalism, but then he ended up here.] It's nice to visit the local markets when we disembark, at any rate. If you ever wish to join us, you are more than welcome to.

[he looks back to bob, then crouches down to see him in the house, huffing with amusement.]

No, we must all have our boundaries. Of course. I don't mind at all. I will even accept his ire for removing them so it isn't directed at you.

[Did he just invite him to a market? Is Primal inviting him to socialize? Why would he do that? ~~Since when do Optimii socialize?~~ His energon must be sticking in his pumps with how tight and crimped they feel at that moment. He does not like this feeling so of course it makes him grumpier as he tries to ignore it and focus on Bob. Bob is always a perfect topic.]

Good luck, I don't even know how he got them inside there. I can't go in.

[Obviously. He's not dragging himself across the ground to get in.]

[he sure did! primal doesn't comment further, as he has been given a Directive as as an optimus, this is the now the most important thing in his life. he will not fail sunny. he is normal.

primal nods, then moves to the big house, leaning forward and taking the last few steps on all fours like he would in his beast mode. he hasn't shifted to it yet, where he might have ordinarily, as he doesn't want to risk spooking bob. he has plenty of experience with many different beings reacting poorly when there was suddenly a gorilla in front of them.]

...This is larger on the inside.

[you know what, he's never seen something like this but considering there's magic around and also generally weird tech out there, he will deal. primal looks back out at sunstreaker.]

From what I remember, they need to be corralled with emotions, as they sense them on those who approach them. This may take me a while.

[he doesn't feel super great, what with the gympie gympie sting and general other stress he's putting on himself by prioritising those they caught in the hunt over anything else. this, along with the kirins generally making him think too much of airazor, means he expects to be chasing them around for a while.]
