Her heart was beating too fast. And he could almost taste her fear on his tongue.
Optimus took a deep breath and tried to calm her down through the bond that he had created, but it took some real doing. Her thoughts were going a mile a minute, the jumbled mess of her frightened mind irked him a little bit when he caught some of what she was thinking.
Jumbled as her thoughts were- They were less than nice.
She was mentally rambling to herself about his size. What the hell did she have against him being six foot eight? Sure he was just a bit above average height but that was perfectly understandable considering his real height was thirty two feet tall.
He looked down at his feet for a moment and frowned a little bit when he caught the bizarre thought of, 'Oh my god, don't tell me that I went drinking with Cindy again-' Optimus scowled a little bit as he looked back at her. He didn't know who Cindy was, but if he ever caught her taking Miss Evans drinking for any reason...he just might forget that he was against violence to humans.
Then she started mentally rambling about his looks and the way he was dressed. Again he looked down at himself and scowled. What was wrong with the way he looked and dressed? He wondered in agitation as he rubbed his sweaty palms on his jeans again.
Optimus was very proud of his human form.
It was pleasant to look upon. He was in no way scrawny or delicate looking. His body was muscular in a way that wasn't overwhelming to others and fit his body type nicely. His facial features were aristicratic- or at least that was how Ratchet had described them once.
His facial features weren't exactly femininely beautiful, thank god. But in his own way, he was attractive enough. And his tastes in clothing was just fine since he was wearing his lounging clothes, a black tee-shirt and some faded jeans.
So what was the woman's problem? He wondered curiously before he caught some less than flattering thoughts from her mind and decided that he needed to one day have a long, long talk with her about those thoughts.
They were dishonorable. He was not.
Nor was he the type to take advantage of a woman. And what the hell was a roofie?
He was starting to get a headache from the jumbled thoughts in her head and finally after so long, he just couldn't take it any more. His curiosity got the best of him. "What's a roofie?"
Saya gave him a weird look at first, her mind slowed and he felt rather proud of himself for not having to resort to shaking her just to slow her thoughts. But then it still took her a second or so for her to fully grasp what he'd asked her. "W-What did you just say?" Saya asked stupidly.
Optimus tilted his head to the side a little bit and crossed his arms over his chest. He wasn't really paying attention to her thoughts or anything else in particular any more. He was however just a little intrested in the sound of her voice.
She still had the raspy, husky sound from when they had talked before, back at the ship. He'd initally thought that the sound of her voice was so odd sounding because she had somehow damaged it. Now he wasn't so sure. Not unless Ratchet and the tech that they had used to save her life, had missed something.
He stayed silent a moment or so longer before saying smoothly, "I asked if you slept well. Did you?"
He knew that he shouldn't lie to her about what he had said before, but the second he'd detected her earlier panic, spiking dangerously into full blown terror, he had decided to try and shift her attention from his earlier question to something less terrifying for her.
She looked just a little bit taken aback by the question before silently nodding her head. Her mind fell silent to him for the moment, and he smiled and decided to take this chance to introduce himself.
"Forgive me for frightening you Miss Evans, my name is Optimus Prime, and as of a few days ago I became responsible for your health and well being. I know that you have questions-" She opened her mouth to say something and he stopped her by holding up the index finger of his right hand to indicate that she should be quiet for the moment. And was pleasantly surprised when she shut her mouth and just sat there in silence waiting for him to finish speaking.
"And I will answer what I can. I just want you to know that you are safe here and have nothing to fear from me." He said honestly and nearly flinched when he caught her thought of, Said the devil in disguise.
