Orion would never have thought of his own field-restraint in the same terms, but it was essentially the truth. Being shamed and pressured into keeping his strong field close rather than naturally extended and unfettered had made the smaller mech seem cold and aloof to those that did not know him, and did not help with socialization at all.
It was a testament to how easygoing and friendly the mech really was that anyone bothered making acquaintances with him at all.
The librarian chuckled teasingly. "Well, maybe you need to argue with more people with the wits to prove you wrong once in a while."
Fingers curling gently over Megatron's arm plating as he finished off his oil cake, Orion nodded.
"I would prefer to start slowly no matter what, even without the additional...stipulations."
Another pause, and Orion seemed to consider if he truly wished to continue speaking. Eventually, his courage won out.
"Perhaps, you can make some recommendations at some point? Based on what you...prefer. And I can see if any. Ah, ping my processor, so to speak."
He couldn't meet Megatron's optics and his engine hot, but he said it nonetheless.
