Orion was really, really glad he had not backed down, even when Maul approached with the apparently violent intent. But it wasn't a physical violence, and he was shocked to feel that testing, aggressive field battering at his own. He pushed back, field resolute and bristling, and Orion was relieved when the abrasive mech left only moments later with only a parting verbal jab.

What even...?

Orion waited only until Maul was out of the room and out of sight, before stepping to Megatron's side, offering him a hand up.

"...I still have no idea what that was all about, and I would really appreciate a clarification, but are you sure you're alright?"
