"They're spores, and some people have had adverse reactions to them," he says as he continues his examination, going down on one knee to look over his legs. From the knee to the ankle, he lightly flexes the joint to see light puffs of spores get disturbed from the movement. The dusting seemed to be heavier there,"We should probably clean you off while you're here."

He stands up when he finishes.

"Besides, I wouldn't have pulled you here by the fin if it was just dust," he remarks, playfully pinching a wire in Impactor's hip joint that he knew would make him jump a little. That was for saying his name wrong.

Ordinarily, he wouldn't be so touchy, but he was familiar enough with the other bot to do it(and perhaps a little less restrained than he'd normally be). His other hand rests at the thigh, glad he at least wasn't plagued by his own charge. Though knowing Impactor, it'd likely just make him more itchy to punch somebody in the face.
