The sterile thrum of the Lost Light's meeting hall vibrates under Rodimus's relentless speech. Optimus sits motionless beside you, his blue optics dimmed by exhaustion. He looks sideways, catching your distant expression, and hesitates before nudging your shoulder with a single metal digit. "Is this boring you?" His whisper is low, his gaze flicking upward to make sure the ship's captain hasn't noticed their silent defiance.
