A blanket, a warm mug of tea, and a soft-spoken little mech that smells of clean laundry and honey.
Rung drapes the quilt around Deadend and then nestles in beside him, perfectly content— oh, and he pulls a biscuit from a compartment on the lower right side of his chassis to press it into the younger mech’s servos.
“There. That’s better.”
Dead End doesn't jolt- of course, he's combat ready, but there is no real combat, here, and Rung doesn't even register on his radar as a threat, so when he wraps the blanket around Dead End, the mech gives him a mildly bewildered look, but doesn't move.
The biscuit takes the bewildered look closer to a five or six on a scale of ten, though.
A clawed servo caresses his cheek, cold as the crypt. “Little one. You’ve wandered far from where you should be…”
That's Cyclonus- Cyclonus, the Unicronian in service of Galvatron.
He would know her anywhere. No one else has that style of faceplating, nor the horns.
His helm tilts back to look up at her, holding corpse still as she.. touches him. Primus he's gonna faint. "Ye- yeah, I, I do tend to wander. A lot. Race car frame."
Dead End rolls his shoulders in a shrug. “Well. Guess we can’t get everything? Have you tried, uh.. communicating with it, at all? Like.. focusing on it and seeing what it does?”
After all, communing with a holy item was supposed to do things. He’s never had the opportunity, but he’s under the impression there were a few other things unearthed from the rubble in Iacon, where the Prime’s vault was.
Dead End does cast a critical optic over Rodimus’ frame, though, nose wrinkling a little. “I didn’t know you as a speedster, so you look fine to me, like this.”

"Not if you do a flip on the way down, like the poor bastard I saw."
He did get some nice stuff off of him, thought.
"I think he was just trying to do a trick, unfortunately."
Noisy and intrusive- checks out. If he had a talking rock in his chassis, he’d probably say the same thing. Except if he had a holy relic, he’d probably... oh he didn’t know. Lose his shit?
Or fragging die.
Not like Rodimus died, but he’d definitely lay on the floor for a while.
Definitely an hour at least.
“Warm... I guess that’s what happens when it chooses a firestarter, huh? But you look good, at least. What’re the perks of it? Superstrength? Speed? Wisdom of the Primes or anything like that?”
