There is a brief pause filled with audible clicks and thuds, followed by the slightly echoey acoustics that come from someone recording audio in a large room. "Hello hello! You've reached Dr. Velocity! Feel free to leave a message or a video or whatever here, and I'll do my very best to respond promptly! And if it this is about the stickers, Ratchet, I didn't do it! Love and love and love!"

"Yeah, I guess. I don't need more weird spark feels," she grouses. Then opens her mouth, then stops. Opens it again. Growls and teleports out her seat and across the room, then back. "Why is this so stupid hard!"

It takes some more effort before finally - and it's not wholly clear why she's even struggling so much with getting this out - "I feel guilty going flying now! Ever since Nova had her wings taken off her it just makes me feel really garbage and stupid and guilty and I hate it!"

[tenthtimeisthecharm]

Oh. Oh, that did sound stupid hard.

Velocity didn't respond right away, knowing very well that the things she said off the cuff could be annoying or not come across well. And this mattered. It was important.

"You're twins. Of course you're upset. Why do you think how you feel about it is stupid? Just because it happened more directly to her doesn't mean it isn't awful for you, too."

Velocity frowned, and topped off Skywarp's glittery cup. "Keep going though, if you want to. What else do you need to say about it?"

[telepro]

"Because it hasn't happened to me. Evidently wherever I was when it went down was all warm and safe and not with my sister!"

Skywarp is in an odd spot where she feels horrible about what's happened, but despite her words doesn't fully blame herself for it. She's always been very in the moment, and thus finds it difficult to understand something that's happened Nova but not for her. It wasn't an issue before, when it had already happened for her but not Nova... she's not an unintelligent mech, but this whole timeline weirdness is new for a lot of them.

"I don't want to talk about it. I want to just shove it back down where I can ignore it and then take it out on someone like Moron Prime and his hideous face."

She leans back in the chair, kicking her boots up and pushing back on the back two legs.

"You look like scrap, by the way. Super disheveled. It's not not doing it for me? You wanna make out?"

Velocity opened her mouth to respond to Skywarp saying she didn't want to think about something by relating it to her own experiences, then let out a startled, beeping squeak.

"Um? Should I say thank you? Or thank you for noticing, maybe? It's-" She cycled her optics further but couldn't think of a compelling reason not to, and Skywarp was pretty? Those were the main criteria for deciding on whether you wanted to kiss someone you'd barely interacted with before, right?

"Sure, that would be nice."

She then paused, reciprocation Lottie, and added hurriedly, "You look very nice, too!" She tried to think of the things people generally said were attractive, which she only agreed with about people after she'd gotten to truly know them and feel affection for them, so... "Your um, everything? Your paint is very shiny and I like your hands?"

[telepro]

"Heh. Nice."

She leans back as Velocity speaks, evidently finding it quite endearing from her expression.

"Medic with a hand thing, huh? That makes sense," Skywarp lifts a big hand up and wiggles her fingers suggestively. "Alright, up on the table. Let's do this, if you're into it."
