[Tarn squints. He never explicitly told Helex such a thing. That isn’t to say that he wouldn’t. In fact, admitting that the war is over and playing the peaceful toothless old hound has never been his plan. Not even now. ]
[However, telling Helex that now, in front of Megatron, simply can’t be done. The miner is young, and naive, and inexperienced and that sort of statement will most certainly end badly. Tarn just needs to find an angle to get through to him. A bit of patience and charisma is all it will take]
I have told you no such thing. We will discuss this later in private.
[He casts him a stern glance, hoping that Helex has the sense to drop it for now. He will make everything clear soon. He turns to address Megatron, bowing his head ever so slightly. ]
You have my sincere apologies, Megatron. Sometimes Helex has the tendency to jump into action before knowing the entirety of the situation. While such dedication and enthusiasm is to be rewarded in the field, sometimes it can get him into a bit of trouble.
