"Yeah, well, all of us can't be fraggin' picky platinum gilded..." The huffy tone trailed off as Cliffjumper realised that for Mirage to have noticed, he must actually have been looking.
Which probably didn't mean anything, really, because it would be just like some mechs to look to be able to judge - like Tracks and Sunstreaker and a few others, undoubtedly - but even that thought, pulled up like a defense, couldn't stop the slight widening of Cliffjumper's optics or him looking away from that infernal smirk.
"How's that even good---" Cutting himself off as he finally realised what Mirage was implicitely talking about, he sputtered, bright optics going to Mirage and then immediately away and at least Mirage was far enough away he wouldn't catch anything else of heat being dumped or the blushing flicker of his EM field.
"Uh. I... suppose that's true. Not that I---" Cutting himself off and resolutely turning away from Mirage, Cliffjumper went back to getting clean because by now the liquid was starting to sting more - which just led back to what Mirage had been saying and he really didn't need to think about that!
