Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Of course, I shall..." Dev nodded, and began...

"Steal Your Heart Away"

All alone we go on day after day
All alone we suffer
Oh, to steal your heart away

It's the same old thing in the same old way
All alone we suffer
Oh, to steal your heart away

And the lie was creeping
Down, down, down
While we were sleeping
Suddenly we hit the ground

So come on, let's go, let's run away
If that's all, all there is
Oh, to steal your heart away

Ooh... steal your heart away
Ooh... steal your heart away

The lie was creeping
Down, down, down
While we were sleeping
Suddenly we hit the ground

So come on, let's go, let's run away
If that's all there is
Oh, to steal your heart away
Oh, to steal your heart away

Suffer...
The lonely suffer
Steal your heart away
Suffer....
The lonely suffer
All to steal your heart away
Suffer...
Steal your heart away
The lonely suffer
To steal your heart away
Suffer...
If that's all there is....
The lonely suffer
Steal your heart away"

Steal Your Heart Away

Meanwhile, the purple Autobot known as Whirlwind, awoke in the brig... orienting herself, she sensed the others presence... Minus Devision.

Listening to the royal blue Seeker's song, Starscream had wondered where in the pits of Kaon does he get these lyrics? These are... all by himself? He never so much heard songs in stellarcycles, let alone doing one without some kind of music. Some talent the royal blue Seeker has. Tapping against the armrest softly, Starscream thought what else should he have him do, instead of waiting in utmost silence? Nothing was more awkward than silence between them. "... Sung before?" Starscream lightly asked a question.

"Well, yes...I have... um... always had the... inclination... though I kept it myself mostly, initially. My friend Trekler was the first to encourage me to pursue it further, so I enrolled at the Ardrian School of Fine Art and The Ardrian Institute of Art, as well." Dev shrugged a bit, and gave a heavy sigh, shy and timid, he was soft-spoken in his answer.

"Hmm..." Giving a light hum, Starscream glanced over at Devision, examining him from helm to pede. The royal blue Seeker should have been in the squadron of Energon Seekers. It was every Seeker's dream to do that, but didn't technically make it in. Lots of different Seekers, and most of them didn't meet the demands.

Devision trembled slightly, and sighed. He was painfully shy, and quite well aware of it as well. His wings twitched in a pained spasm, that he could not control, and he whimpered softly, partly from the pain, partly just from general sadness. He knew he was a failure as a Decepticon, that's why he left... and... as a... Seeker. But of course no one knew this but him. He never talked about it...ever. To anyone.

Another soft sigh, Dev looked at the floor, as he bore his pain silently, forcing himself to play it off as nerves once more. Yet hating the fact that he was forced to live a lie. Just to get by. It was not who he really was. It never would be. But such was his life. A lie. A secret. A silence borne alone.

"...What's wrong?" Watching the royal blue Seeker's wings give a slight spasm, Starscream could tell he was deeply thinking about something. Though of course, the Lord himself thought he was being a little too soft word-wise. But, Devision was different, and not really one to raise his voice at for no reason. It's those blasted Eradicons' faults. If they learned to do the job correctly, Starscream wouldn't have to have processor aches all the time. "Are you hungry?"

"It's... just an old complaint...it happens, from time to time..." Devision replied softly. He sighed again. "Y...yes...Master." Dev looked up, admiringly at his Master, in awe of him... Damn, he looked good.

"Very well. Drone! Get another Energon cube!" Yelling to the door, Starscream relaxed in the throne, waiting for the Eradicon to arrive with the drink. Tapping his talons against the armrest of the throne, Starscream looked to Devision. "You looked a little malnourished. Perhaps the Energon shall do the trick. Consider it as a small gift from your connoisseur of singing, and loyalty so far." Watching an Eradicon come into the Throne Room, Starscream took the cube from his servos, waving him away. "Here." As soon as the Eradicon had left, Starscream handed the cube to the royal blue Seeker.

"Th...thanks...Master." Devision took the cube of Energon and sipped at it slowly, contemplative. No, it did not surprise him that he would appear malnourished, as he had certainly pushed himself in the past to the point of Energon-deficiency and even once, into stasis lock from lack of proper self-care and regular feedings. Dev sighed. He was so fragged up it was not even remotely funny. Yet, how could he be otherwise, given his greatest flaw?

Watching the royal blue Seeker sip at his cube, Starscream couldn't help but to slightly yawn, optics becoming too weary to be left open, and found himself closing and opening them multiple times. Yawning again, Starscream closed his optics fully, hearing the soft noises fade from his audios.

Devision sat sipping his Energon, still contemplating this and that, and reflecting on the day. It had been quite a day, and now, evening? He was not certain. Afterall, he had spent how many hours in the brig? His sense of time had certainly been thrown off from the time spent in the brig. He sighed again, and sipped at the last of the Energon. It did indeed help. But Primus knows he would need more help than Energon alone could provide.

He looked at the floor, it was indeed awfully dirty. Hmm... one would think the throne room floor would be kept cleaner then this... Setting the empty cube down, Dev stood up and stretched, and though it hurt considerably, he stretched his wings too, despite the shocks of pain that the movement resulted in... really, he should be used to it... but somehow, it was always agony. Somehow, it always surprised him just how intensely painful preasure and movement of any kind, when regarding his wings could be. Somehow, it never got any easier.

And it was not just his wings, either, it was also his shoulders and points along his spine... and even a few points in his hips... all those areas could be intensely painful from time to time, at moments that he could not predict or prevent. Sigh. Such was his life, unfortunately. Such was his flaw.

Dev looked over at his Master, noticing he was in recharge. Was it really that late? It was a perpetual state for Dev to be exhausted and in need of recharge, but he was certainly aware that that was not the case for most others... He approached his Master slowly, knelt down before the throne and he reached to touch his Master's faceplate, but decided against that, it was much to soon for such... and he was unsure of his relationship with his Master, as yet to dare it... instead, he reached to touch his shoulder..."Lord Starscream? M...master?"

Lightly grunting, the Lord wearily and slowly opened his optics, his vision trying to focus on the blurry figure in front of him. Blinking his optics twice, Starscream popped his optics fully open with a small gasp. Has he really fallen into recharge here? Realizing it was only Devision, Starscream relaxed a little in the throne, rubbing the top of his helm slowly. "... I had no intention of recharging here... " Tiredly getting off the throne, Starscream had softly yawned, and walked slowly to the door. "You can... recharge too... if you want... but you aren't leaving my side, understood?" Beckoning the royal blue Seeker forward, Starscream tiredly waited for Devision.

"Okay, Master..." Dev nodded, and got up and quickly caught up to his Master's side and stayed at heel beside him.

Tiredly walking down the hallway of the warship, Starscream made his way to his own quarters, ready so much to recharge at any moment. How can he be so tired? Approaching the door to his quarters, Starscream walked inside, yawning once again.
