The wait was almost as annoying for Orion as the bodily commands. He had to make a conscious decision to keep his feet from tapping; his antennae were already resetting their positions in impatience. In fact, the longer the wait went on, the more it made him want to bristle all over again. If Megatron thought he was going to play that sort of game, and just stand there-
Oh. Finally.
Safely hidden under his bowed helm, Orion's optics twitched when Megatron eventually spoke up.
Well. At least the command was simple enough.
Trying not to sigh, Orion did as Megatron commanded; hands still behind his back, he walked over to the vid screen and unclasped his hands long enough to manually turn it off. Hands re-clasped, he approached Megatron once again.
Perhaps it would be easier to tolerate, he wondered, if he focused on the 'mental game' aspect of it rather than the dominion. Keeping all the little aspects in place - head down, arms clasped, etc - could get tricky if he got distracted.
And he did agree to try. He wasn't going to 'fail' just because he forgot something or Megatron managed to trip him up somehow.
He wouldn't put it past him to try.
Still, the hardest part was to come. Jaw twitching with the urge to give Megatron some snappy remark, Orion simply bit his tongue and knelt, going down to his knees with a sigh.
