"Oh that. Just a little hiccup in my existence. Its never anyone's fault, I just fade into the backgrounds." Rung keeps his tone calm for her. "Make that one's head a little smaller and you'll find it won't break in two when done baking." He adds.
Keep it casual.
"It's always been as this for me though. The longer I'm with people, the stronger they remember me." Keep to the positives. "It's nothing to worry about, I just have been with everyone enough they know me for me."
Twitch isn't sure how she feels about any of that. His instruction on fixing the head on her little stick figure isn't doing enough to distract her. Though the figures are starting to take the form of a family, a boy and a shorter girl, a round dad and a mom with a leg that looks different from the other. They aren't exactly the most artistic, but she knows who they are.
"I remember you," she said after a moment, starting on another figure, this one more blocky and angular. She said it quietly, but with conviction, like she was trying to convince herself more than anything.
Oh. He shouldn't say much more to it but now its in her head and he can't leave it like an open wound she'll never understand.
"And I'm very happy for that." He wipes his hand and pats her head carefully. "You're brilliant and bright. And I'm lucky to know you and be known by you." He boops her nose with a gentle finger.
"Now, lets leave my troubles behind. It looks like you're building a happy family and I want to know who they are."
Twitch grinned up at him proudly. His last question seems to have distracted her completely from her worried thinking of moments before.
She turns back to the little stick figures she had been making. "They are my family from Earth! This one is Robby and Mo and Mom and Dad and this one is Thrash!" she said, putting on the final touches of her most recent figure. "I'm making Hashtag next and then Jawbreaker and Nightshade. And Bumblebee and Megatron and Optimus and Elita and Arcee!"
There was a hint of sadness in her tone, but it was clear that she was very excited to tell Rung about them.
"Thrash and I were born at the same time, so we're the oldest. That's why I'm the leader!"
Rung chuckles. "They sound so wonderful, Twitch. You are quite take charge, I was right then in assuming you were one of the older Terrans." He hands her a spoon of rust to glaze over the goodies.
"You can lick the batter, don't tell Optimus or Megatron. But you've been so good, it won't hurt to let you have alittle treat before the main treat." He wiggles his brows.
"And since you're a leader, why can't you have that anyway... Tell me about your twin, Thrash. What is he like."
She freezes. Only a moment before forcing herself to take another lick of batter. Rung said it was okay. She wasn't doing anything wrong.
Bringing her focus back in, she was grateful for the distraction as she finishes cleaning the spoon and goes back to making her little stick figure family.
"He's really cool! He's super fun to hang out with. But we argue sometimes. I don't think he takes things as seriously as I do sometimes. But that's why I'm leader! So he doesn't has to! He just has to listen to me."
He saw that. Poor dear, he won't ask just yet. Need to get the comfort treats cooking and nice freshen partly molten. Perfect comfort for children. He knows cause he's been reading all he can on this sort of thing.
They're not cookies, but they'll be gooey like one when fresh out. So he puts a batch in his little hidden oven and steps back.
"I should stock up on that Cave Water for you, but I hope some soft Energon will be fine on your system." He gets into cupboard and gets out a little bottle.
"He sounds like a wild brother, wonderful and full of energy himself. I think its only natural for spark twins to develop like this, but they always love eachother in the end." He thinks of Sunstreaker for a moment and smiles before brushing that to the side.
"No argument can compare to your bond is what I mean." He smiles in a different manner. As he holds the drink for her. "Dont down it all at once now, but I must say I have to thank you for stopping by. I was hoping to have help, what luck you stopped for a visit." Ease to the issue.
As far as Twtich new, Energon didn't really harm them, just didn't really do anything for them either. A spark of energy, gone as quickly as it was given, nothing more. She still enjoyed the treats she had been getting on the R2 all the same. One of the few benefits over Earth.
"Yeah, our whole family is like that. We fight sometimes, but we always apologize and it's like mom says: we still love each other and that's what's important."
She sips at her drink. "If you need help, you can always ask me! If ask anyone I'm the best helper! If you have chores, I'll do them and get all the gold stars. Will you give me more rust sticks if I get the most?"
"Of course dear, extra treats for good girls. I'd give you some anyway, but perhaps... I make a special kind for exceptionally good behavior." He taps his face and his eyebrows raise as he flicks his finger out in an idea. "Frosting. That's an idea, what if I try to create a frosting for the Rust Sticks." Rung smiles delighted.
"But, I don't have chores for you to do." He frowns now. "What about something else then, I'd feel bad making you clean the office. So how about instead, you help me clean the dishes when we cook." He leans over and waggles his finger.
"And we can tell stories after its all clean and ready to eat. Frosting and all."
"A good question, lets open a book and read up on it." Rung gets something for cooking off the shelf and flips through it. "I imagine you would be a good dish cleaner, does your mother let you clean them too?"
He's starting to piece something together, and its obvious she misses home. They all do, but there's something else here at this moment.
"Oh, yes, that makes sense. Humans are very compact and even the smallest of us needs extra room to move." Rung smiles at her.
There's a book hanging off the shelf that Rung slips off and opens it briefly to check its contents then puts it back before returning to a book on the table already open. He takes a quick flick of pages and hums
"Aha, I think this should do nicely. Energon Frost. We just need a little oil to add to it and batter the Energon together."
"They're also much... squishier and harder to repair. Also, their houses break pretty easy." At least when she ran into a wall here she didn't break a hole through it.
She watches him grab the book, floating up a little to look past him at the pages. Something about it reminds her of home.
"I'll get the oil!" she said quickly, zipping off before coming back a second later. "Where is it?"
"Try the cooling units, it should be like a fridge." Rung states. "There's two, but one of them is for the organics' treats. Can you check it too, make sure its all still fresh inside while you're there?" He asks.
If making her feel useful and helpful keeps her spirits high. He won't feel bad asking her to check a few extra things.
"On it!" she says a little too loudly before zipping away to do as he instructed.
She hums a little, checking the units and finding the oil. She double check the bottles to make sure she's grabbing the right one before coming back and setting it down next to him proudly and and quickly enough that it wobbles a little.
"Got it! I made sure it was the right one! And everything seemed fresh to me!"
Did she know what fresh looked like? Mostly. Enough.
Twitch settles back down next to him, humming a little as she continues to work. Shaping, battering, glazing, whatever task he puts in front of her she does with speed and energy.
If she came here with an original purpose, she's long forgotten it, thoroughly distracted by these new tasks.

"Done!" she cries, like it was a race, even though she's the only one making the cookies. "How do we make the frosting?"
