[Velocity winced and felt guilty all over again when her datapad chimed an alert, thinking it was Ratchet. She still felt all tangled up in the emotions she'd felt a few days ago, as if we're still happening right this minute, and the idea of talking to Ratchet after she'd shot him like that... it was too much.]
[Still, she couldn't leave him thinking she was ignoring him, so after waffling over it for a few minutes Velocity pulled over her datapad and was surprised to see that it was from Cal, instead. She stared down at where she'd curled around it, before finally dictating a response]
"Hi, Cal! I, um-" [She hesitated, wincing at the idea of leaving her room at all, then took a deep breath and deleted all of what had been dictated before starting over] "Hi! We can talk, absolutely no problem at all ever! Do you want to meet in person, or a video call, or, um..." [Another pause to look around at the untidy stack of untouched energon around her berth, then deleted the last sentence] "How about we meet in person at the observation deck?"
[She hit send before she could think better of it, turned, and buried her face in her pillow with a groan]
