"Come on, Lancex, you still haven't answered the question" Blades piped up.
Predaking shot the three a look while Lancex blushed something fierce. It was almost obvious what Lancex thought by the look on his face, but he still answered the question. "Well, I know Predaking and Optimus like me for who I am, regardless. They are kind and caring. I am happy that they want to be in a relationship with them and I hope I live up to their expectations of a mate."
Predaking was shocked but smiled. "You already have exceeded our wildest expectations, Lancex" Predaking replied before planting a searing hot kiss on Lancex's lips. Without meaning to, Lancex let out a moan while the three rescue bots closed their optics and turned away. That was more than they needed to see. At the end of the kiss, Predaking, ignoring the others, reminded Lancex who his spark belonged too and Lancex answered with you and Optimus.
Hoping to change the focus once again, Blades piped up yet again, "So, what are you going to do after this visit?"
"Well, we are going to return to my home and then Optimus and Predaking will prove their love by courting me there, to prove to my other friends they are the real deal" Lancex replied. The others were a bit confused, but there was no more time for questions as Heatwave and Optimus and returned. And now it was back to business as usual, at least for the three rescue bots.
Optimus was happy to see that the five bots were getting along, especially Predaking and Lancex with the others, as while Optimus wasn't going to be direct leader anymore, many still saw the Prime as the one and only leader. Heatwave didn't show it, and while he was a bit upset Lancex was already taken in a sense, Heatwave was happy that Optimus would be happy.
Then Optimus revealed that several members of his team would be coming to Griffen Rock. Chase, Blades, and Boulder nodded upon hearing that. More bots was always better, they figured. Optimus did reveal that Bee and a couple others would be heading off with Optimus, Predaking, and Lancex. The rescue bots nodded. And with that, Optimus asked for a private room for the night for himself and his friends, as they need to rest for now before going further. Heatwave quickly arranged while the others just let things be for now with Optimus and his friends, as there was much to get ready before the others came.
