After hearing what happened to Drift through the pipe line (ha), Pipes was pretty distraught. Sure, he'd survived, but it's still awful to know there's murder-happy mechs like Tarn around. He was really starting to understand why Optimus was so weary at the 'everyone needs to work together thing'...

Anyway, he'd managed to find where Drift was staying for now and decided to get him something nice. The weeniest potted plant, no less. He knocks carefully, absent-mindedly wondering if Drift has such a large place to himself.
