Who: Nautica and whoever is not going to start shit
Where: the clinic
When: after she gets hurled into a wall (thx tfp megatron) and before she's off the robot drugs
What: drugged-up Nautica is even friendlier than regular Nautica
Warnings: shameless fluff?

A docile patient, particularly in comparison to the other people around here likely to end up in the clinic, Nautica was curled up on her side in a berth, uncomplaining despite the fresh welds spidering silver across her back and impeller housings. The circuit dampers keeping those welds from bothering her might have been slightly miscalibrated--she was a small mech, and didn't have a tolerance built up from a lifetime of hospital stays over the course of an unending war. It was hardly the medics' fault they'd erred on the high side, especially considering the scavenged supplies they had to work with.

It did mean, however, that she was feeling no pain, either literally or in the colloquial sense, and for the moment was quite involved in watching her fingers as she repeatedly flexed them into claws or drummed them somewhat less than rhythmically on the edge of the slab. Hands were so complicated.

It was strikingly different, but in a good way. Because with the Camiens on Cybertron, even if they were small in number, they could learn to heal the scars on their hands. They could learn what peace was before all the war. Before even the classist system. Camiens--and Nautica as one of them--brought hope.

It would be a rough ride (Starscream a hurdle that he has yet to leap), but just looking at their hands lifted his spark. He didn't know Nautica very well, but he'd certainly have her back should she need it.

"Somehow I don't doubt that." There's slight humor in his voice, although it's only to himself this time, as his other hand reaches up to pat the hand holding hers.

"Is there...anything I can get you?"
