After the discussion and explanation, Bumblebee, Dreadwing and Megatronus found their tanks growling tremendously, with Megatronus' tanks and Dreadwings being much louder than Bee's tanks. Lancex smiled, "it would seem you three are hungry. Would you care to try some food here?"
"You… you don't serve energon?" Bee asked, nervous and curious. He wasn't exactly sure what they were expected to eat here to sustain their systems.
"Bumblebee, trust me when I say you would not be able to stomach energon here. You need real food much like the earthlings of our home universe" Optimus offered up, knowing from experience and knowing that Bee trusted the leader. And with that, Bee and his two mates headed of with Lancex while Predaking and Optimsu tried to follow but were held back briefly by Cid, Cor, and Gladiolus.
Once the others were out of ear shot, Optimus asked, "have we done something to upset you regarding your friend Lancex?" Optimus asked cautiously, unsure if this was a good sign. Predaking was worried as well, but let Optimsu do the speaking for the both of them at this point in time.
"No, nothing you have done wrong, but we wanted to present with you with an opportunity here to win his heart" Cid said, before presenting tickets to a festival in a big, well known town but the tickets were notoriously hard to get. "We don't want to stand in the way of his happiness. Here take these and take Lancex with you. It will give you sometime to be relaxed and get to know each other."
Relieved to here that these three humans were not going to stop Optimus and Predaking from pursing the Prince, Optimus gladly took the tickets and stored them away. Predaking looked at Optimus and the Prime explained he had a better place to keep the tickets safe than the dragon bot did and Predaking agreed with that. And with that over, Optimus and Predaking were finally allowed to join the other four bots who had already started eating, well at least three had. Optimus smiled, sat down and waited for Lancex to bring more, as Optimus had learned well enough that in this world, Lancex loved to cook and mate wonderful meals. Predaking joined the table as well. Lancex soon came out and brought more food. Now, it was a mini party and they could talk here safely until they could safely leave in the morning.
