[It is barely a handful of minutes before Airazor comes fluttering in for a landing beside Primal, having pushed herself as fast as her wings could carry her. As a display of her agitation, she paced sideways back and forth for a few seconds, then started to preen herself as self soothing behavior. Without looking up at him during this process, she spoke]

Mikaela, who owns the bar, has been gifted with the foresight of Alchemist Prime. I asked her to look into my future as a way to amuse us both.

[She finally looks up at him]

You know what she saw.

[he can tell immediately that something is very wrong and huffs a few times, not quite possessing the self control anymore to avoid expressing his concern and worry for her, and for mikaela but airazor is the one here. she is the one who is having it happen again.

his spark drops, but he knew it would happen again. they don't get any easy way out.

primal nods slowly.]

I understand. How do you with to proceed, Airazor?

[companionable_jeweled]

[Airazor continues to preen herself, shifting her attention from one wing to the other]

There are several precautions we can and should take, the first few I will begin as soon as I am through speaking with you now. The first will be to disable all of my weapons systems, including removing my blades and their self-regeneration protocols. Better to be helpless in the name of our oath than to cause harm where it could be avoided.

Secondly, I suggest a tracker is in order, for when I move about the ship while I am... [A pause, and a sigh]

Third... [Her beak slows to a stop on her wing, and for the first time an unidentifiable emotion that is equal parts dread and fear and, finally, grief for what she is asking her friend to do all over again washes over her. She makes her sure her EM field is clamped tight against herself. Why would she wish to cause him more pain than she has to, by forcing him to feel that?] The third option will not be an option at all.

[this is all very rational and sensible, but primal is still acutely aware that airazor can read him well enough that he can't hide how he feels about this. his armour plates shift uncomfortably as does he on his knuckles.]

I will be with you every step of the way, [he says quietly, reaching a big ol' gorilla paw out to run it along her wing affectionately.] Do you wish me to accompany you to the medibay, or would you enjoy privacy for that? I can instead find a tracker.
