Lancex was so tired he nearly crashed into the berth, but was carefully caught by Grimlock and Optimus before he was carefully placed onto the berth. The pair was at least relieved that Lancex didn't crash to the ground, though that didn't necessarily mean that Optimus and Grimlock were going to get along. Optimus stared at the bot and couldn't help feeling like he possibly found a bot he could love and share love with and possibly have sparklings with. He was lost in his thoughts, having forgotten about the dinobit being there as well.
Grimlock, at first seeing Lancex sleeping, thought that this new bot was causing something strange to occur within the dinobot. And while Grimlock didn't understand it completely, something felt like he wanted to know this bot as more than a friend. He would have to get that medic to teach the dinobit more. With that thought, Grimlock snapped out of his musings and noticed that Optimus was still there. To say Grimlock was not pleased would have been an understatement.
Feeling the glare, Optimus turned to see an annoyed Grimlock. "What are you staring at Grimlock?" Optimus asked, having no idea he what he was wading into.
"Me Grimlock want car bot to back off Claiming Lancex. Him mine!"
"No, I won't back down. You back down, Grimlock" Optimus responded, stunning himself a bit as he still wasn't sure about all of this but he wasn't going to back down to the dinobot.
"Me Grimlock saw Lancex first. Already able to claim him and sleep with him" Grimlock retorted.
Optimus sighed. "I've known him longer."
Grimlock growled at that. "Me Grimlock know Lancex would want strong bot as mate, not weak bot like Prime" Grimlock shot back, clearly unaware of just how powerful a Prime could be. Not that Grimlock cared anyway. What he wanted, he felt like he would take.
"Lancex would want a bot who would love and care for him and about his needs and desires even above the other bot's own. All you care about is breeding him and making him a sparkling factory" Optimus challenged.
Grimlock shot a death glare at Optimus while the Prime shot a more confident than he actually felt back at the dinobot. They were at an impasse, that much was obvious. Optimus, having had enough, decided to lay down on the berth next to Lancex and head to recharge like Lancex already had. Not to be outdone, Grimlock took the other side of Lancex, laying down next to the bot and trying to bring the bot closer if possible. The two shot each other a look before both crashed into reacharge.
Meanwhile, on the wall in the sword Lancex carried, Ryu had been watching things. Granted, Ryu couldn't stand that the dinobot wanted Lancex, but seeing Optimus interested well surprised the dragon a bit, though he wasn't sure if it was in a good way or a bad way. Ryu decided then and there to watch the two to see of these two bots even deserved a chance to get close to Lancex.
