Steeljaw looked around for a bit as he searched for Clampdown, and decided to stop for a moment, sitting down at the tree.

He looked up sadly, wrapping his own tail around his body. Drift was right: he still felt really wounded inside, despite all the acceptance that came after the past events.

Then suddenly, he heard something moving behind him and looked behind, then down to find the little kitty staring at him. The kitten looked curiously at him and meowed to him.

"Aw.. Hey, little one. What are you doing here so far away from the scrapyard?" Steeljaw leaned over to stare at the feline in front of him. The little kitty just meowed cutely something to him for an answer.

"Huh. You seem to like to go wander by yourself" Steeljaw smiled, and started to caress the feline, while it started to purr. "There is just something so wonderful in Earth felines."

Steeljaw passed some time playing with the kitten, using leaves and his own tail. That small critter somehow made him completely forget about his sadness for a moment. It actually made him think of the happy days playing with his big brother on Luna-4.

As it eventually got tired of playing and leaned over for a nap, Steeljaw's optics glowed as he tried containing his unusual squealing. Then he smelled something. A strange scent… followed by a familiar one...

Taking a quick decision, seeing there was a small road by the path he had to go, he changed to vehicle mode and carefully placed the kitten on his seats. He didn't even minded as it scratched it while turning around to continue his nap.

"It's best if you hang around me for a while, little one. Something tells me whatever I'll find, it can be dangerous for you." Steeljaw said. The little kitty just yawned silently and continued its napping. "Hnng… so adorable..." the Wolficon muttered.
