"Yes, but---" Cliffjumper practically hissed, now clutching the brush close as his optics flickered around the room, avoiding Mirage and his optics, trying to come up with an explanation that wouldn't explain anything... incriminating.
Even way before the war he'd been extremely picky about who he let help him, which sometimes led to issues of things getting left cleaned only by having had cleaning solution sluiced over it without a proper scrub when none of those people were close.
Cliffjumper's wary and hard to trus personality and wasn't a cause of the war, it had just been excerbated by it. And while he might have had an embarrassing thought or two of a scene like this, with this mech, it hadn't certainly been a situation like this... and it wasn't as if he'd ever thought it'd happen, so it hadn't mattered.
"I can do it myself," Cliffjumper finally insisted, aware of too-bright optics and that he still was clutching the brush like it was a weapon to hold Mirage off, and eased up the grip on it.

He certainly wasn't affected at all, no sir.
