[ Sent by a powerfully hungover Drift nearly a day and a half after the...incident. ]

Ambus? I wanted to apologize and see how you were doing.

[legalcy]

[There's a pause that lasts only a second but takes forever to end.]

I am recovering. I will be fit for the mission .

[He's not sure if he's ready to accept that apology, but-]

I, too, apologize for unintentionally mocking your grief, though I would have preferred a less severe warning.

[aurable]

[ Even if Minimus's harshest reprimands sounded like a slap on the wrist, this one stung. ]

You didn't know. It's not an excuse.

[legalcy]

You are correct. [One cannot assume that Minimus will speak gently.] However, it would be inappropriate if I do not address the base concern.

While I cannot offer much in the way of consolation, I want to emphasize that I am available to discuss our lives on Cybertron. You should not be alone in your grief.

[aurable]

Ambus -

Please don't. I don't want to grieve. I want to fix this.

[legalcy]

Understood. [Feelings are difficult. Especially when you know nothing about the death of one of your friends.] Is there anything else I should know before we are to work together?

[At least he can set boundaries. That's easier to do.]

[aurable]

Nothing that I'll throw haymakers over.

[ A pause. ]

Too soon?

[legalcy]

I don't know when that would be an appropriate comment to make.
