Glyph finds herself mildly flustered by Mirage's smile and the offer to repay her, and she makes a bit of a waving motion. "No need to do that, Mirage, I'm just doing my job," she answers. "I'm just glad that my knowledge has some use."
Then Sentinel Prime compares Mirages, and Glyph looks at Sentinel Prime rather curiously. The way he's speaking and acting is a bit odd.

Rodimus shakes his head faintly and glances ceilingward as the tensions start to ratchet back upward. Well, it's not as if he can order people to like each other, can he?
(Probably, but it wouldn't really do any good.)
"Right, then," he says cheerfully. "If that's that, I've got a bridge watch coming up soon, and I'd like to grab some energon before I have to head up there." He smirks. "It'll be hard enough keeping out of the defrag cycle for that one even if I am at full power, after all." He starts to head for the door. They can sort out each others relative Mirageness or Sentinelness without him, although he does hesitate a moment. Let's not leave Glyph stuck in the middle, shall we? "If you two don't need anything else from Glyph immediately, though, you might want to give her some space to finish up the translations."

"Cliffjumpers not trusting Mirages seems to be as universal a constant as Sentinel Primes winding up dead," Mirage says calmly after a moment, his tone a shade frosty.
"But yes, I am nothing like that fellow."
He looks over at the linguist. Rodimus has a point.
"Glyph, do you need me for the rest? If not, I can leave you in peace."

Sentinel Prime is frustrated with Mirage and frustrated with himself. He been trying so hard to be nice to Mirage! Sentinel Prime doesn't even do nice very well with people he actually likes, let alone with alternates of people who didn't like his politics. He's finding getting along with this Mirage very difficult. This is why his hand ended up in Mirage's face and why he ended up snidely informing Mirage of what his alternate is like in less than flattering terms.
Sentinel Prime wants nothing more than the authority to order Mirage off to duty of cleaning the Event Horizon's water circulation system for the rest of eternity. He wants that like burning.
He takes a moment to think about what he actually needs, and he looks over at Mirage, tries to clap his hand on his shoulder, and he says, with all the sincerity his circuits can muster, "Look. I think we got off on the wrong piston. I've been trying to be nice to you, but it's not coming up like how I meant it. I'd like to be on good terms with my fellow Autobot, you know? And I'm sure your friends are lucky to have you."
That said, he stands, nods respectfully to the other, Primier Prime, and excuses himself, "Good luck, Glyph."

Glyph shakes her head at Mirage. "I believe from here on out, I can manage. Just need to work out the basis for a translation patch..."
A curt nod at Sentinel, then a small look over at Rodimus that seems to say "Thank you". It is rather tricky to work out translation with bickering going on just a few feet away.

Rodimus gives Glyph a brief 'You're Welcome' smile, then gives the others a more definite smile, returning Sentinel's nod in the process. Well, that seems to have worked well!
"All right, then! See you guys around!" he says cheerfully before he heads out of the room!
OOC: Looks like, yes. Either way, Roddy is out of thread!

Mirage tilts his head and casts a wary glance up at Sentinel. The blue Prime is an odd one. Perhaps Mirage should study him a bit more.
"Right. Perhaps we can start again later," he says to Sentinel.
"If you don't need me then, Glyph, I think I will go for a walkabout. Please call me as soon as you think you've something workable."
Mirage stands and will follow Rodimus out the door, unless stopped.

Sentinel Prime does not want to be studied! He just wants a painless death when Mirage snaps and murders them all. Sentinel Prime just shrugs over Mirage's guarded reply. No, he did not expect putting his cards on the table to magically make it all better.
"And I have duties to do," Sentinel Prime adds, as he leaves.
OOC: Thread is over, I suppose?
