Cliffjumper had tried to catch Mirage after he'd settled from the flustered embarrassment Mirage had got him into and before the medics could get to the spy.
Of course, he'd been unsuccessful, especially as he hadn't been willing to try and have this conversation in the shuttle. Ratchet had, obviously, descended upon Mirage the moment they'd touched down - hardly even before the engines had stopped and they'd landed properly.
So he'd tried to keep an optic out, though the cycles turned to joors turned into two fragging days. Had Mirage been injured and they hadn't realised at first? Surely repairs and debriefing after that, even if he'd been gone a week, didn't take that much time?
Apparently it did, and in the end it was sort of an accident that he found himself meeting Mirage in the corridor he had his altar room in.
Not an accident that Cliffjumper was there, as he'd been lurking outside of the room, unwilling to check at first in case he'd disturb Mirage, but when he finally did the room had been empty.
So he'd been on the way back and then there the mech was.
It was unexpected enough he just stopped, optics flickering a little, and considered not talking to Mirage at all.
