The Spark Within: Transformers (Various!XOC!)

Sentinel's Offer

S-23 remained silent on her own, feeling even more embarrased as she then heard a small strained laugh from behind Sentinel, now seeing Airachnid having a look in her optics that made the small femme bot shiver.

Now choosing to stop lauging Sentinel kneeled down to their level, smiling as he spoke to the three cogless miners, "The fact of the matter is we're already halfway into the first shift since the race has ended and that miner crew has already reached 150% quota. You guys inspired them to work harder!" The Prime then offered his servo to shake with all three of the miners

D-16 was the first to shake the Prime's servo with his own, feeling the honor consume him at the feeling of the Prime's powerful grasp. This was a moment he knew he would probably never relive, one he should cherish as he shook his servo with a bright grin.

Orion was the second to shake his servo with the Prime, feeling all the more equal to him than ever before. "Sir, we joined the race to show everyone that we can do more than just mine-"

Sentinel Prime interrupted as he then took S-23's more smaller servo in his. "Outstanding, I love a bot who can think for himself!" He told Orion Pax as he then turned to S-23, folding over her servo and instead of shaking it, he leaned down to kiss it the back of it. "You've all looked great in the race." He looked at femme-bot a bit longer, as if talking to her only.

The cogless femme felt her spark jump as soon as he had done that action, the way he gazed at her had her feeling flustered and warm all of a sudden. 'He sure is a gentlebot..' she thought as she gave a small and shy smile towards the prime as he let go of her servo. Their metallic hands sliding out of each other's grasp, as if he wanted a moment longer with her touch, at least thats what S-23 thought.

D-16 turned his gaze away from Sentinel, now seeing the way he grasped his friends' servo a little longer than he felt acceptable. He shook the crawling sour feeling from his chassis, reminding himself that it was just Sentinel Prime's way of being kind. But even then..it still bothered him.

"Perhaps you three can tour the mines," He said as he stood up back to his regular height." "Maybe talk to your brethren and help them see their potential." He suggested, his voice kind and welcoming.

The three immediately beamed at this. Them? Being seen as icons and inspiring their fellow miner friends? That sounded amazing!

Orion spoke up first, "That would be great!" He was excited. "I would love to-"

Airachnid interrupted, "Sir, it's time. She had a serious look on her many optics as she motioned over towards the hall they were meant to leave from.

"Ah! Yes." Sentinel made a frown before returning his faceplate to its normal confident self as he smirked over at the three cogless miners. "Sorry friends, we're preparing for our next travel to the surface. But in the meantime," He leaned over to the three. "I've got a treat for you. Hang tight-" He turned back to his assistant. "Airachnid, have someone escort these racing heroes to my personal service facilities?" The Prime stood back up, walking backwards as he made a hand motion over to the three. "Best care of Iacon."

Before he left however, he gave one last gaze towards the small femme, "Actually," He stopped in his tracks, before offering a servo over to the cogless miner. "S-23, I've got a few words I'd like to share with you." He motioned her over to follow him.

S-23 felt like her spark was going to explode. Was this real? Was the handsome, popular, heroic, charismatic, incredible and unique Sentinel Prime talking to her? Wait-he wanted to talk to her alone! She was heating up, she let out a small gulp before turning her helm towards her friends, and offered a small smile at them before quickly rushing off to where Sentinel had wandered off to.
