I get that. [and he does-- given both their professions, it's an inevitability. it's not like ratchet doesn't know what he's doing to himself.] But you gotta plan this stuff rather than jumping into it. That way you perform up to standard.
You have no idea how good it feels to be able to speak to someone on this in this way... Its been a long time since I had a peer review my efforts. Or vice verse. [ Even if that nagging fear of his work will be stolen again. ]
I feel like I can actually relax some and have someone to tell eachother when we're slipping up or such.
[he smiles, even if it doesn't feel as genuine as he wants it to.]
I've felt much the same, bein' in such a crowded medibay. Even talkin' to my own counterparts! That's probably egotistical, but I couldn't care less. It's true. You might also want to corral that larger Ratchet into sessions. He needs it.
I think I would be too embarrassed to. Or something of that matter. Ah... but alittle ego never killed anyone. Sometimes its healthy, Even I gotta flex the ego muscles too.... not here though because that is enough boasting from me.... [ Takes his drink once more and sips on it. ]
Now, lets take this moment to get in a treat, I've been eyeing the menu last I was here and I want to try one of those Rust Sticks and perhaps pile back up on snacks and candy.
I diagnose you with incorrigible sweet tooth. [he says immediately, apparently foregoing ordering anything himself.] Now, don't load up too much on the candy. Primus knows how that stuff can gum up your insides...
[hey, how long has it been since someone told rung to watch how much candy he eats??]
Well, I'll get three extras just to spite you. An act of malicious disobedience which will haunt me for three days and no more. [ He giggles and pops a compartment to remove stacks of boxes. ]
Who needs subspace for everything... now lets see what's empty. And if you must know, most of it is to hand out. Its amazing how much more behaved a mech will be when they're occupied with something sweet.
Only three days! [he barks with a laugh.] I'll keep my office open for three days then!
[ratchet takes this moment to mentally catalogue his own subspace; several broken rubix cubes and a bunch of data pads and energon emergen-c. very healthy. not hypocritical at all.]
Oh, I always keep a box of candy available when I can. If nothing else, a grown mech who gets a handful of candy given to them is usually flabbergasted enough to stop bein' an issue. ... I think it's nice, too, after all the times we've had to ration or go without.
Precisely. And its quite endearing to see a mech previously yelling at you now stuffed their mouth with a snack. Though that doesn't stop a few from still attempting to uh hum.. talk shit.
[ Rung holds his hand to his mouth and chuckles more. then sets aside 2 old boxes. ]
Empty guess I just need to replace these two. [ He hands over a box that's still half full ] care for some? I think soon as I get my extra treats and my drink finished I might need to head out.
Nothing important, I just feel the need to do a little nothing for an hour.
Or hit you. [he says with a sigh. unfortunately, even with it being a while ago, bambi is not the first one to lash out at him and likely won't be the last. it's a dangerous part of the job rung is likely well aware of.
he still feels awful about bambi. sometimes he loads himself up on work just so he doesn't have to spend any time inside his own head, a habit that's common to many people. he doesn't think about antler's words as much but there's no denying to him that it wouldn't have got that bad if he'd given the prime more attention and looked after him the way he should have.] I'm alright, thanks. I gotta get back to the medbay-- thanks for droppin' by. We can talk about all this more when we've got more time.

Which is first? The need for companionship, or helping everyone he can... ]
Always open to you, Ratchet. If you need me I'm all ears, as humans say. [ He pops a stick into his mouth holding to box to himself now.]
Do be safe.
