Optics flickering as Orion's field settled, Megatron shifted in his seat, back going slightly straighter even as he shifted his shoulders and relaxed them, consciously letting go of tension, readjusting threat-assessment and going through a very light reboot to flush his current frame of mind a bit.
He twitched, and then settled, his field stopping trying to push against Orion's and instead settling just beyond it, not quite touching or mingling the energies.
"Comparisons from your research and this, perhaps. But otherwise, I might start and say I forgot something." With a grunt, Megatron resisted the urge to lean back and sprawl out in his seat, and instead rested one arm on the armrest and slung the other over the back of the couch.
Not quite completely relaxing, but not keeping a stiff posture either.
"Nothing that would've impacted what we just did, because you wouldn't have been ready for that, but I should've brought it up either way. What's acceptable disobedience and what is not, garnering punishment whether or not it was accidental or wilful." Not looking back at Orion, Megatron chuckled. "Had it been me in your position, my dom would've had to pause for punishments quite a few times."
He hoped phrasing it as if it had been him there, and not mentioning Orion at all would let Orion think of what he was saying and not feel... threatened? as if it was him that was meant? Something like that, either way.
