He wasn't dozing, no, but the ping was helpful anyway as he'd put Orion in the slot where he didn't automatically snap to full awareness due to possible threat. Optics turning on with a flicker, Megatron pushed away from the wall and turned towards Orion with a lopsided little grin.

"Orion." He was pretty sure the poor mech was rather embarrassed which... well. He could understand. Once again Megatron felt vaguely guilty over his probably lacking explanation and the way he'd handled the whole thing two days ago.

In fact...

Letting out the exvent he'd been holding, the warm air pushing against the closed valves, Megatron grimaced.

"I... er. Aplogise. I realise... I might not have handled the explanation in the best way."

That hadn't been easy, as Megatron's avoidant gaze and erratically flickering but tight against his chassis EM field testified to, before he snapped it out again.

Better to get it out of the way.
