That had been highly expected. Megatron sneered down at the view of the Council Pavilions far below, with the Tower of Pion piercing the sky much further than the rest of the buildings.
Now, the biggest question was how the Prime would react; from what he'd claimed he should summarily reject the offer, despite the obvious benefits of the bribe. Because a bribe it was.
The pause made him twitchy, but Megatron could be patient. This would be the first indications of many if Optimus was who he said he was, even if it was obvious he probably could do a lot of... "good" later by actually taking the bribe. Megatron did know, however about that bill, and it would have a lot of both immediate and far-reaching good consequences that were both known and not...
What surprised him more than the pause was his own urge to stomp around the crystals and growl at the senator, chasing him off bodily if necessarily. That mech was a threat and needed to be taken care of---
... Staring quietly, unfocused, at the faintest glitter of the energon pools around the Pavilions, Megatron had to concentrate back on the (lack of) conversation, inwardly frowning at his reaction.
Sure, the senator was one of the ones who had been tagged as potential targets, and he had a temper... This was odd, however.
