Of course Orion would, being more than a head shorter than Megatron was, and slimmer as well. Huffing, any intended reply got lost in a surprised shake of his helm. Taking the energon mutely, Megatron even drank half before he put it down and looked Orion up and down.
So, how to tackle this? It was, frankly, not the way he'd intended to bring this up, because Orion would now want a comprehensive explanation instead of this being taken in natural steps of exploration.
"What you saw when you walked into my room was Maul breaking a few rules, ostensibly 'for my best interest' which was why I had broken things off with him," Megatron said, voice dry and the upper edge of an optic arched.
"Remember that before anything else I say, Orion. There are rules. Non-negotiable rules. Maul will find himself quite unable to get what he wants when word gets around." The stare he gave Orion was serious, his red optics flat, but more in an attempt to instill in Orion that following what he was about to say, he was hardly without 'protection'.
And anyway, as an individual out of that particular situation, he was perfectly capable of enforcing said rules.
