He'd managed, but it'd been a close thing. Mostly because he was on edge more than usual and still somewhat in pain, which made his temper more hair-trigger than usual. Which was just something that either let him work through a shift until an injury could get looked at, or get through a battle by both getting a surge of anger as well as more focus.
It worked the same if barely in this situation due to his merely reluctant trust for the Prime.
"We need to get you out and make a few speeches. Not just making random crackdowns to find out if some place is corrupted or not," Megatron said with a frown, tapping the back of his foot against the berth behind him.
Optimus and him both, even if he could hardly make any official speeches for a good while yet.
"What else would I mean? Precisely that..." Trailing off, optics narrowing as he looked over the Prime's frame again and then finally landed to look Optimus full in his faceplates. There was something he'd been vaguely avoiding.
Partly because he wasn't sure what he thought about it, regardless of the "promises" of equality in... whatever this was. But Megatron had never been the type to avoid or cower from truths that might be uncomfortable. At leats not for long.
"Talking about exchange though. Obviously, there's some expected personal and intimate level to be taken from this... What, exactly, does that mean, Optimus?" The question was genuine, but there was a rumbling threat beneath that might imply what Megatron's reaction might be if he didn't like the next few answers.
