O: "Scrap!" He swore again, hobbling over to Cliffjumper to haul him back further. "Don't do that. You're lucky you've got such fast reflexes, or you'd have gotten yourself killed vorns ago." He shakes his head. So many of the reports from previous guards make so much sense now.
"Come on, away from that side." He gestures to the far side of the roof, opposite the road with the mob.
"If they didn't already know we were up here, they know now. We don't have much time. You're going across even if I have to toss you." ...The next building's roof is a floor lower, and only an alleyway's length jump away.
CJ: The reports where the kindest descriptions had included variations of 'recklessly impulsive' or 'impulsively reckless' and 'especially in potentially/definitely hostile situations'? Yes, they probably do, at that.
The only reaction to Optimus' admonishment about what he should, or shouldn't do and that he's only survived this far due to fast reflexes gets a huff, but nothing else. It's true, after all. Cliffjumper's just lucky his leap-first personality comes with fine-tuned, hair-trigger reflexes, really.
"... What?!" Cliffjumper looks over the new edge, towards the roof Optimus wants them to get to, and up at his bodyguard. "Are you absolutely glitched? What 'bout your leg, huh?" The distance isn't so bad, really... maybe. Cliffjumper scowls, judging it. He'll... probably be able to take it, but even 'just' the width of an alley is kinda large, when you're short.
The threat of being tossed across has the minibot giving his bodyguard a suspicious glare, arms crossed, as he edges away slightly. There'll be no tossing anywhere, even if Optimus could probably toss him easier than he could jump.
