Cliffjumper was startled out of his stunned pose when Mirage turned around and ended up cursing quietly. Hopefully silently enough no one else heard. Hopefully it didn't matter that he was too distracted - too unsettled, it'd happened again - for bowing, and only took Mirage's hand after a moment of staring at it in empty confusion.

At least the other time this had happened there'd only been Mirage and Tracks, and Tracks hadn't even noticed what was going on. Now there was a whole rusting crowd behind him, and Cliffjumper didn't like this at all.
