	Open Optimus RP post Hey, I don't really play Optimus in any games at the moment, but that doesn't mean I want to stop playing him! So bring your characters, give me a situation, and I'll be happy to roleplay the big guy with you!

You're joking.

[No of course he's not. He really does only have like a foot of space to aim the nozzles of his flamethrowers.]

[Rodimus is pretty sure one of the three flamethrower nozzle is 1 ft in diameter goddamnit.]

We have spare lanterns, right?

[He meets Optimus' smile with bright optics. Eager, but a little uncertain.]

[thelastprime]

[Yeah, Rodimus. Does Optimus Prime ever joke? Like ever? Good, he's hoping you figured that one out on your own. The lantern stays inbetween his fingers as he calmly reaches out, taking Rodimus's. Those blunt, yet surprisingly delicate fingers pry open the younger Prime's hand, showing the palm facing up.

And without hesitating, places the lantern in it.]

I'm afraid these are the only ones, Rodimus.

[While not as obviously eager as the other's, Optimus's eyes are flickering just as brightly. Although his is for an entirely different reason.]

You will have to use the utmost care and control.

[nothotrod]

[Yo about that.]

Got it. No screw-ups.

[Well. Optimus was clearly waiting for him to ace this - and it felt rather silly letting himself get so worked up over a paper lantern.]

[But it had a lot of significance to him, Optimus, and the members of the City.]

[So he's going to hover the barrels of his flame thrower and start to warm up the pipes gradually.]

[thelastprime]

[You heard him, son.]

Mm.

[He's glad to see Rodimus adapt so easily to those parameters. While he wouldn't exactly tell the young Prime, he was giving him a minor test. To see how he'd fair should this happen in a more dire situation. Rodimus was a quick thinker, though, and more importantly, didn't seem to work himself up over the assignment.

His eyes flick to the barrels on the other's arm, watching. It was obviously something for Rodimus alone, but it was oddly fascinating. How well it fit with the bot's personality, that is.

But if Rodimus thinks he has to do this alone...]

We will do it together.
