Dinobot raises one eyeridge, intrigued at Elita-1's description of the shapeshifter. "It sounds like a worthy foe," he says, privately wondering if it could transform. It might be worthwhile to keep an enemy like that imprisoned for when one wanted an interesting sparring partner.
"If Mirage doesn't want to get beaten, he shouldn't make a dinobot angry," the raptor states, as if this is the most natural thing in the world. "Mirage split your forces?"

Grimlock grumbles, then gestures with his little dino-arms. "If him Mirage not run off with Pyrite, then maybe them not get messed up!"
Then he looks over at Dinobot. "Sort-of. Mirage make friend on Pz-Zazz, named Pyrite. Him some kind of rockbot or something. Shapeshifty thing come try to take Pyrite away. Mirage try to stop him and get in over head." Grimlock motions his head at Elita-1. "Me Grimlock and little motorcycles get sent to pull him Mirage out of fire."
"Eventually we get them away from faker, and to safe house to meet Bambi - but Bambi was actually faker! We have big fight, and me Grimlock was gonna smash faker good! ...then Mirage run off with Pyrite - faker followed, both of them went invisible...and then we not able to find them afterwards."

"Maybe you're right, or maybe it would have been all of us that got messed up. Mirage probably considered that, and picked what he thought was the lesser evil. Couldn't tell you," she shrugs, but she isn't happy about it. Even if his pride is clearly wounded, Grimlock does, indeed, have a point. The Dinobot took a fair amount of damage, but was still able to keep going, and save for a minor injury, Elita-1, as her whole, was unscathed. If she's right, she can understand why Mirage did what he did, but unless he knew something they didn't--and if there was such a something, he should have told them--she doesn't think he should have made that call.
"I don't think he should have run off like that, though, and I have to wonder if he has much experience being on a team." she says. The moment Rodimus dispatched them, it became a group effort. Even if he did have good intentions, they went counter to what they were sent there for in the first place: to help.

"It sounds as though Mirage's decisions was tactically unsound. Trying to lead the enemy away from a rescue party defeats the purpose," Dinobot comments. "Hmn, however, I wasn't there. He may have had his reasons."
Not that Dinobot really has any room to talk about being a team player.

Grimlock nods at Dinobot, then goes back to munching on his snacks. "Me Grimlock no care about reason. Faker needed smashing - me Grimlock was gonna smash him good."
A simple 'bot, Grimlock is.

"Well, I do." she says, regarding Grimlock for a moment, and then Dinobot. "They might have been important, but teamwork always is" Autonomy and solo missions have their place, definitely, but they needn't be mutually exclusive. "Either way, they should shed some light on how he Mirage thinks, if only a little bit. It might help in the future." she muses. "I'll just have to ask him outright."
"There'll be other bad guys to smash, Grimlock. How's the metal working out for you, there? Do you think you'll need more?"

Dinobot climbs up to sit cross-legged on his berth, hands on his knees and watches Grimlock eat in silence for a while.
"Why do you wish to train with me?" he asks Elita-1 finally.

Grimlock nods, looking over at Elita-1. "Maybe me come too, in case him be tight-lipped. Me Grimlock good at loosening things."
He peers down at what's left, head tilting side to side as he considers it. "Me think this will cover rest well enough, but will still take time to find out for sure."

Elita-1 raises a brow ridge before grinning lightly. "Can't let myself get rusty, now. Should I need a special reason?" she asks with a tilt of her head. "Besides, sparring against different opponents keeps me on my toes." She spares a glance downward before grinning again. "So to speak."
Her grin fades when the Dinobot mentions getting Mirage to 'loosen' up. "Grimlock," she says, folding her arms with a frown, "If we do, you can't beat him up. Not even a little. We're just going to talk. With our vocalizers, not our fists."

"I suppose there is a dearth of melee specialists in our company. Just let me know when you wish to meet for training and I'll be there."
If only Dinobot had lived long enough to see Rattrap's new robot mode when he got back to Cybertron, he would have mocked those wheels mercilessly. The look works for Elita-1, though.
"If you need help finding more scrap later, I can assist you, Grimlock," he growls.

Grimlock grunts at Elita-1. "Me not beat him up. Me just get point across how Dinobots get point across. You talk how you want talk. Me Grimlock have own way."
He nods at Dinobot, finishing off what he has left.

Arcee does prefer projectiles, but knowing her way around a sword has come in very handy for her. Getting sloppy with her skills would just be unacceptable. "I'll do just that. Thanks, Dinobot."
As for the other one, Arcee still looks more than a little skeptical, but she does believe that Grimlock wouldn't go too far. He seemed concerned about Mirage in his own way, if she wasn't mistaken. It'd be a little counter intuitive to beat up the object of said concern. Here's hoping. In any case, she would be there too. With a small sigh, Arcee relents, "Alright, Grimlock."

Dinobot nods at Arcee, then looks over at Grimlock. "That would be an interesting conversation," he says, voice dripping sarcasm.
OOC: Shall we wrap this up, lady and gent?

Grimlock pulls his head out of the bucket, looking over at Dinobot. "Of course it be interesting! Me Grimlock in conversation!"
-----
OOC: Sounds like a plan!
