As they were debating about whose quarters that Lancex would crash in at least for now, Hotshot stepped forward to offer his place. "I have a spare berth in my quarters, sir. Maybe he would like to stay there" Hotshot offered up, his spark acting a bit funny, but he thought little of it.
"Who are you?" Lancex asked, a little caught off guard by the speedster. He had seen the bot before but wasn't sure who exactly this was.
"My name is Hotshot" Hotshot stated, trying to appear quiet and unassuming, though he was by no means naïve.
"It is fine with me, if Lancex accepts this offer" Optimus stated, still a bit perturbed at Lancex for bring up that Optimus snored and talked in his sleep.
Figuring this was the best he would get, Lancex accepted the offer. "Alright, that should be acceptable" Lancex stated and then followed Hotshot to the bot's quarters. Lancex didn't realize it just yet, but had attracted the optic of three separate Autobkts and each wanted the older Prime something fierce.
And as Hotshot led Lancex away, Evac and Scourge were talking. "Go figure, always go for the younger models" Evac huffed quietly, somewhat tired of being ignored by most bots. He may have put on that he was cool, calm, and collected, but that went out the window with feeling how his spark was now.
"Just because Lancex went with Hotshot doesn't mean anything. Besides, why would a bot like Lancex want a young bot like Hotshot?" Scourge asked, not happy about this turn in events. He also felt a stirring in his spark.
"Lots of reasons" Evac answered, as it was true. Bots wanted younger models for a variety of reasons..
"Well, it looks like this has gotten more interesting" Scourge added and Evac nodded in agreement. They would bide their time, for now. After all, being patient was definitely an Autobot trademark.
Meanwhile, Lancex and Hotshot soon arrived at the quarters that Hotshot had been assisgned. It wasn't big, but it would do. Lancex went to the bottom bunk of the room and promptly fell into recharge, as his body was demanding it. Hotshot tried to fall asleep in the other berth, but felt cold. And so, hoping for warmth and not realizing this might freak the bot out, Hotshot snuggled up to Lancex for warmth. Bot would Lancex be stunned when he woke up.
