"That's the least of it... frankly, it was somewhat shocking. You have your work cut out for you." Elita frowned thoughtfully as they walked, ignoring the pleased thrill when those larger fingers curled about her own hand.
This was getting a bit out of hand, the Consort programming aggravating natural inclnations, but it was hard to mind.
When the doors to their destination came up, Elita looked at them, and then glanced up at Optimus, considering the situation. She'd been hired "for the duration of this function, with a running extension for as long as your presence is wanted", which meant that as of yet, she (had to) was staying, since Optimus hadn't expressed any wish for her to leave.
Of course, he had not expressely said he wanted her to stay, either.
"Optimus... I am at your disposal for as long as you wish; is there anything in particular you might want?" Elita made sure she did not lean closer, or drop the pitch of her voice, or anything in particular that could be read as anything but an open question... The only thing she did do, was to gently squeeze the hand holding her own.
