*after having cleaned off the dust and dirt, Kaleidoscope started wandering around the Ark's surroundings, never really having had the time to explore before. She took her time, at a slow, leisurely pace... simply observing and exploring and learning about her new home. As much as she could learn through observation, that is. Sometimes, she merely sat and watched and listened, in a sort of meditative state for a half-hour or more, before moving on*

*after a couple hours, Kali finally returned to the Ark, making her way down the halls to the lounge. Getting a mug of mid-grade from the dispensers, she moved over to a computer console, searching for and then downloading information on her new beast-mode's form and other related facts (that - to her earlier embarrassment she found she was lacking) onto a datapad. Both in-hand, Kali moved over to one of the lounges sofas, carefully sitting down (it took some creative work to find a position to put her wings in, and sit at, where it wouldn't be uncomfortable). Sipping at the mid-grade, a small smile crossed her face as she began to read the information on the datapad*

*Kali glances up as she hears someone enter the lounge, and smiles at the sight of Tracks. That smile quickly fades, however, as the blue mech's unease is clearly visible. She frowns with worry as he heads to the energon dispenser in an apparant single-minded daze, setting the datapad and her mug of energon down on the table in front of her, before standing up, slowly*

.o(By Primus... what has happened? Tracks looks... terrible. Something has gone dreadfully wrong, but what? I can't just ask outright. That would be rude, and an unwelcome intrustion...)

*Biting down on her lower lip faintly, Kali watched him as he poured himself a mug of low grade, before forcing a smile to her face.*

Ah... good afternoon, Tracks. Would you care to join me?

*she gestured to the couch she had been sitting on, optics still locked on him*

.o(...hopefully he'll take the invitation to talk... about anything, if need be. But... ...if he doesn't, I won't press.)

*Tracks comes right close to dropping his mug at the sound of Kali's voice, the furred mech glancing over his shoulder at her before turning completely to face her. For a long moment, he says nothing, not sure whether he's ready to talk to anyone about what's gone on, or not. His usual choice would be Blaster, but the mech is having his own problems as a human and...well...to talk with him about the femme he was interested in when she ended up seeking out the company of Blaster's rival? Tracks then glances about, noting that the place is about empty. With the door to Maccadams open, the lounge is no longer the popular hang-out spot for the ones off duty. Finally, he nods and walks over to join her, sitting down on the couch.*

[q] I hope my being here didn't interrupt what you were doing, Kali. And...I may not be the best of company right now.

*as Tracks sat down, Kali sat down as well... her forced smile slipping into a concerned look, her colours shifting to some grey overtones. Shaking her head faintly, she paused before shyly resting a hand on Tracks' forearm*

[q] You are not interrupting a thing, Tracks. I.. well.. your 'company'...

*she paused again, frowning a little, now, not sure how to address whatever issue was troubling Tracks*

[q] I would... never... I don't want to force myself on you, if you do truly wish to be alone, Tracks. However, if you are not the 'best' company doesn't matter to me. I... I can see that something is wrong; so very wrong. I want to help, however I can. If it's not saying a thing, and leaving you in peace, well... I will respect that. But... I'm worried about you, Tracks.

*she glanced around at the empty lounge, then back at Tracks* [q] I'm here to talk... and listen... whatever I can do. If you wish, we can move to a more private location, so whatever is troubling you won't be overheard...

*The former 'vette sighs...staring into his mug of energon. Again, he struggles with saying anything at all, and if anything, what exactly TO say?*

[q] I'm...not sure there is anything anyone can do to help. No amount of talk thus far has helped the situation.

*Glancing up at Kali, Tracks lets out a heavy sigh, his misery easily read in his expression.* [q] ...she ran off to be with a Decepticon -- Soundwave, of all mechs. She has resigned from the Autobot army, but...I...cannot accept her choice. Not after all he has done to us as a group...to me. Channel does not seem to realize the possible danger she is putting herself in. Does not realize that she isn't the one who needs to prove herself, but rather...him. Her choice... I cannot readily accept it.

*frowning softly, Kali let her hand slide down Tracks' arm to his wrist, then shyly curled her fingers around his hand*

[s] Whether it helps or not... I'll still be here for you, Tracks...

*at Tracks' explanation, Kali's optics go wide, her colours shifting to startled yellows and greens, then fading into muter, paler shades before slowly drifting back to her regular blue*

[s] Oh, Primus... Tracks. I... I... I don't know what to say. Primus. I hope she'll be all right, but... ...Primus...

*she sat back a little, stunned... then watched Tracks with sympathetic optics, frowning deeply*

.o(You're hurting so much. The pain; I can understand, even if I can't relate. Oh Tracks...)

*frowning, she tightened her grip on his hand, leaning in a little towards him* [s] Tracks... I... I don't know what to say. I don't think there is anything I can say. It... I can only imagine the hurt you must be feeling. I wish there was some way I could help you. Help heal all this, but...

*she trailed off, shaking her head, frowning more. She reached forward with her other hand, to rest it on Tracks' other hand* [s] I can... only hope for her safety... Nothing I say would change her mind; that I know. I'm... not a part of this. It's her choice to make. But... right now... Primus... YOU are the one I'm worried about. The one I want to help. To comfort...

*still sad and unsettled, Kali curled her fingers around Tracks' hands* [q] I feel so helpless. I want to help you, Tracks. I want to help heal this hurt, but... I fear whatever I can offer might only be superficial, or temporary at best. I can... only offer my support, comfort, but... *she trailed off, shaking her head faintly* [q] That can... only patch things, temporarily... It won't solve, or completely heal everything, no matter how much I wish it would.

*She paused again, trembling faintly. She pulled back a little, glancing around cautiously, nervously... before letting go of Tracks' hands, opening her arms a little* [s] But... if all I can do is offer comfort, then... I offer it willingly and without hesitation. My offer for a more private venue still stands. We've been lucky no one seems to be around, yet, but...

...I'll be here for you, if you need me, Tracks. *her voice soft, her colouring fading to a very pale pink*

*Tracks nods, his mind still a jumble of thoughts that he still can't seem to quite order and process. At the mention of going someplace more private, he frowns a bit...*

[q] I... wouldn't want to take up your time with my problems. And while I would like to get away someplace where I wouldn't have to face up to anyone else...I don't want you to think that you need to go along with me. Misery does love company, but I don't want you to be miserable as well, especially when no amount of discussion can help this, when it's all completely out of our hands. It's just...this feeling of total helplessness. Like I've somehow failed my only kin. I do thank you for your concern and patience, Kali... With Blaster away, there aren't many here I feel I can confide in...

*Kali shakes her head, replacing her hands overtop Tracks'* [s] You're not taking up my time, Tracks. Your... your problems... I want to help shoulder those problems. If I can.

*still frowning, she stood, offering her hand to Tracks* [s] You haven't failed, Tracks. This... all this... you're not at fault at all. I don't know all the details, but...

*she trailed off, shaking her head* [q] You can always confide in me, Tracks. I want to be there for you whenever you might need me. Shall we head somewhere a little more private, then? *her colouring took on a faint shade of pink again* [s] Y-your quarters, or mine?

*While it was hard to tell due to the color of his faceplates, Tracks blushed a bit as he took her hand and stood, energon forgotten on the nearby table for the time being.* [q] Er...yes... Perhaps...perhaps my quarters. If just...for the company.

*Glancing around to be sure no one else had come in and seen them, he quickly guided Kali out of the lounge and down the hall towards his quarters....*
