It is not untill Botanica touches him that Ramulus wakes up from his stare. "Ah! Wha...?" He looks up, lost for words for a moment, before smiling, "This place is a small world wonder, you should be very proud of it, Botanica, and I'm sure now that everything's calm, the inhabitants will balance"
He looks to Firebolt, "You want to walk around?" He asks, "I already have to apologize: I am no botanist, so I can't really entertain much information on the species present here... I'm more of a geologist.... (he smirks) And I might just bore you with that so let's not!"
This place turned out bigger than he had expected, yes, it looks nothing like his form's natural habitat being this lush and alive - something he won't confess to Botanica as not to make her think she had been overlooking something -. Perfect for the plantformer, above anyone else. And that's what counts.

Oh wow. It's a... A talking plant. Firebolt never got a close up look at Miss Botanica and now, well, there she is. The Ferrari-former takes a step backwards, a bit awkwardly and nervously. She doesn't know how to particularly give her hellos. "Oh erm uh... H-hi!" She stammers finally, thrusting out her hand for a handshake. Hopefully that'll work.
Walk around? Somebody actually wants to do something with her that is normal? Not adventure, not instruction, just... Walk?
"I-I-I SURE!" She manages to yell, before eeping and slamming her hands over her mouthplate, her ponytails shuttering back upand hanging low against her head. "Sorry for yelling!" She says, "I have bad people skills..." She shifts back and forth, "I don't care if you tell me something wrong, I wouldn't know. I," she manages a weak sort of happy voice, "I just like company with other guys n' gals."

Botanica lightly clasps Firebolt's extended hand with one of her primaries, while the secondary of the same arm moves to pat the young carbot further up her arm.
"There, there, nothing wrong with a little enthusiasm. But remember that the louder you are, the less of the wildlife you'll see," she admonishes gently, before dropping her hands.
"You two enjoy. I will let you know if I leave before you." And with that she turns back to her work.
Skippable, due to afkness and such.

W-wildlife? Ramulus casts a slightly nervous look around once more, half expecting a wild boar to emerge.... "Ah!" An active shake of the head clears him of following that train of thoughts, no! Conversations here, hell~o? Focusing back, Ramulus catches Firebolt's comment about having 'bad people skills'. A smirk cannot be suppressed. "Don't worry, Firebolt, those skills can be learned, I heard, and younglings learn fast!" Faster than Ramulus.... who is, actually, being a very good and benign little faun right now.
He points along one of the paths, which leads through the fields allowing one to either go into the normal forest, or pass aside of it and stay in the fields. "This... er, what do you think about going that way, Firebolt?" He offers.

"Bye-bye," Firebolt waves to Botanica, still in a bit of shock. It's a talking, walking, plant! That's something you don't see everyday (says the talking, walking car).
"But the click clicks," she protests, looking around. She points at Ramulus after he speaks, "You're letting me choose? I choose that path, the one that doesn't go into the forest, the one that can let me do this," She drops down to the ground in vehicle form, more content like this. Hopefully the paths are flat enough to let her do this.
She plays music very quietly as well, trying to suit the mood as she rolls along, glancing about at the trees and whatnot.

Giving Botanica an indulging nod, Ramulus follows Firebolt, “that’s perfectly alright” He says, keeping besides her. The fields are pretty flat, so she shouldn’t have problems with her car, considering the size of some other Autobots around here.
Sinking to four legs under the whisper of a soft “Beastmode” the mountain goat clean cuts a clump of path side grass to munch thoughtfully. “Hmm, so….. do you work in a garage?” He looks the car over, remembering what she said about liking to be around them.
As he walks, he feels the lightest pressure on his tail. Looking back, he sees a distinct resemblance to the Rhetus periander butterfly, cobalt blue hues contrasting his red body.

"Well, not worked, but lived them. I was hangin' around Earth for a while, and really didn't go to 'bot mode so I was a car in very nice, exotic car-type garages. I guess it's easy to fall into the routine, cos for a while I never did transform and almost forgot I could do that," she mumbles as she rolls along. Her small visual self on the screen in her dash flops down, looking embarrassed.
"But thankfully I ended up here!" She cheers up instantly, "With the meeting people and the talking and the trying, TRYING SO HARD to make friends! I dunno how many friends I've made though, everyone seems so busy to talk to me sometimes. But you're nice Rammy, you talk to me." She stops and, though doesn't look like it, is watching the butterfly.
"Well, that's better than the bugs that attacked me! And prettier too," she beams.

"Hmhm, but I'm sure a lot of bots consider you their friend" Ramulus admits, "You are social and spontaneous, even if you're sometimes overexcited"
He's about to give it a flick of his tail when Firebolt comments on him being nice. Er.... the buck hesitates, then yields. Walking further, the butterfly has merited a stay from the red sports car. Good for him.
"It's funny how something so beautifull comes from the transformation of something very ugly" he murmurs.

"Ya well, it doesn't feel like that," she has a pouting voice and then turns carefully to peer back at him. "Did I say something wrong? I am sorry!! Erm... How about that weather! Yea!" She shifts her tires, muttering to herself at how stupid she was. Oh, there goes THAT chance.
"I'm sorry, I really am..." She rolls down the path and out of sight, feeling horrible for making somebody ELSE feel horrible.

"Bwa...huh?!" Ramulus startles at the sudden moodshift, and, is she pulling out on him? "H-hey! Why are you leaving? Firebolt?!"
Gone.... really gone? Should he go after her? Radio her? What ever did he do wrong just now? Should he apologise? But for what transgression?
What do I do? The ibex bows his head sadly and turns away from the path, hooves carrying him wherever the beast feels like going. He... could try to catch up, no, not catch up, not to a car, just, follow, hoping she'd stop somewhere. Find out what he did wrong, and apologise. Or let the airwaves carry his words, but...
But who says she wants his presence right now? The way she put him behind like that, did that need any more explanation?
//Firebolt? I'm sorry.... for anything it was I did wrong. I'm sorry//

One day later - around the evening -------------------------------------------------------------------
So radio cleared up the mess yesterday, or, that he truly hopes. Still, Ramulus couldn't push himself to leave the dome, in fear of setting off some kind of other disaster. But now he has to, because a: hiding yourself away is not good socially, and b: Botanica had advised him not to forget that prolonged organic exposure might put his beastmode over himself.
Ding dong, time's up, please leave the pool.
Still, Ramulus puts up a perfect Bambi-imitation, should he know the movie, as he appears at the edge of the clearing. His dash for the dome's entrance is filled with energetic prances, dodges and leaps, before he springs to a sudden stop, ears in satellite position....
"Maximise"

Firebolt comes stomping up from nearby, hanging her head low and then offers him a wave. She has just entered the dome, and was very intent on finding him, before finding that her search wasn't gonna be terribly long after all.
"Erm, ah... Hey," she says, tilting her head to the side, while rubbing the back of her head. "Sorry about yesterday. Didn't I totally say something about having bad people skills? I did, right?"

Expression softens as Ramulus listens to the teen, and he quirks an eyebrow nothing short from deviousness.
"Yes, yes you did..." he says, advancing quickly to grab Firebolt by whatever car bit she has sticking out on her legs, then promptly begins attempts at push-pulling her back to the airlock. "But you came back and that's a really big thing!" He pauses and looks up, optics shining and he smirks, "I do hope you've been a good teenager in your absence and found a way to watch movies, cause you do have those, don't you?"
If she didn't get the clue from his playfull badgering, perhaps he should be extra clear, "Let's have fun!"

MOVIES.
Oh it's one of the magic words.
"I like movies, you like movies I got a TON you gotta see some of these," she starts talking as happy music plays in the background, coming from her own speakers. She walks along and then turns and bends down, holding out her hands. "We can go to one of the lounges and watch the movies and OH I am excited. C'mon, hop on," she motions, holding her hands close to the floor. "I'll carry ya and we will RUN LIKE THE WIND. Ooh you ever seen Ferris Beuller?"

Ramulus hesitates at the offer, then makes himself comfortable in the hands of the Autobot. He lets out a deep resonating chuckle as he answers, "Girl.... If I have seen movies, they'd be Cybertronian. And I can't remember any of them."
.... As he can't remember a LOT of things.
