It was only through firm control Megatron managed to not bury his faceplate in a palm and groan. Orion, no. Optics narrowing, Megatron considered the two in front of them, shifting his stance wider and giving a narrow, sharp smile when the large black mech glanced to him.
The mech recognised him, that much was clear. Perhaps it was just as well that Orion wasn't secure enough to have wanted to try some sort of play here, today, otherwise this would have been more... complicated. As it was, he was pretty sure the mech wouldn't attempt a violent confrontation.
Turmoil just chuckled as the silence wore on and his sub stayed, of course silent.
"Compared to your incredibly rude flaunting of normal politeness in these circles, my sub knows not to respond unless allowed to. And I see no reason to give that permission to respond to a newbie who clearly has no manners." There was dark amusement in Turmoil's words, but also an underlying threat.
Megatron resisted rolling his optics.
::Orion, back down. There's a chance we can find out what's really going on, if anything is, but you're never going to get any honest proof like this.::
