"Me! Cool?" she doesn't mind the hand and even tries to flop against him experimentally while looking out at the stars. If he objects, she's ready to move. But she's still more distracted by finding shapes in the stars and only figures he's a good leanin' post right now.
"Well you are important with a name like that," she says, "But I'm sure you're tired of hearing that. If you don't wanna be important 'round me, ya don't hafta be."

For a brief moment, Optimus has a look of mild panic on his face (Which he hides from Firebolt) as she leans up to him. Then he kind of smiles. Firebolt is a lovely person.
Optimus shifts his weight around to make it more comfortable for Firebolt. "Where I come from... I'm just maintenance detail. I'm the 'bot you call to fix things. It's still an important job... but one that anyone can do."

"Boring job, but hey, it's better than what I did. I was a car. Whoop-dee-fookin-doo," She states, and then points out changing the subject in an instant, "Lookit that right there, doesn't that look like a shark? Ooh and that one looks like a house, and that one is a race track," she points and points at various things she's seeing in the stars.
"Do you see anything?" She turns her head to look up at him, and can't help but look even happier seeing him smile. It's contagious, you know!

"Well, I was a truck. What do you mean? How were you just a car?"
Optimus isn't the most imaginative or creative person. "... I don't get it. How can you say they look like something? They're just stars." He leans in closer to see the stars from her perspective. Perhaps he's missing something from his view.

"I was just a car, like, uh. Well humans drove me around and stuff, and I didn't dare transform because of bad things that could happen. Have you SEEN their movies about aliens!? Half the time they wanted to dissect 'em!" She shakes her head, frowning as she looks back out at the stars.
"Look, see, that one right there," she says, pointing up and tracing the shape carefully out in the air, "There's the head, there's the body, and legs... It's a dog," she explains, and then glances over, flinching a little, "Oh hello, you are close." She states, and then points again. "You DO know what a dog is, right?"

He is!? Optimus jerks away, nervous he did something wrong. "Yes. Well, the first dog I saw was a robot dog, but I understand it was modelled after an organic creature that humans domesticate, for specialized tasks and companionship."
His optics narrow. "...But I can see what you mean. You just have to imagine the lines." He tries to find something of his own.

"N-no don't..." She frowns, and then turns and tries to pull him back, "You were fine there."
She hopes he moves back cos she points out a few more things, like how that nebula looks like a set of wings for a bird, or how that one looks like the Pepsi symbol. Somehow.
"I hope you do not mind me thinking you are a good friend," she says, looking up at him nervously. "I was all excited to make more friends and then poof, there you are!" She smiles, "I like making friends."

"Oh. Right. Sorry." Optimus lets himself get pulled back into place. He was enjoying it too.
As she continues to point out some of the home-made constellations, (but what's a Pepsi?) Optimus tries for one of his own. "That one reminds me of the Magnus Hammer. It's a weapon wielded by the Supreme Commander of the Autobots."
"Not at all, Firebolt. Thank you." He says, smiling. "I think you're a good friend too."

A hammer huh? "Is... Is it hammer time? Can they touch this?"
She snickers, and then not-so-subtly turns and goes to throw her arms around him in a hug. "Lemmie hug you! Oh gosh, please? I love to give people hugs."
She does. Ask anyone!

"Hammer time? Well, hopefully not. It's a pretty powerful weather-controlling device, not to mention a devastating weapon in its own right." Optimus fails at pop culture references. "And you shouldn't touch it either, no."
And then Firebolt "Of course you can!" A very sudden request, but Optimus certainly isn't going to say no. In fact, he doesn't even wait for Firebolt to hug him--he hugs her first.

Firebolt blinks somewhat, never actually been hugged first it seems. She quickly gets over the feeling, however, and hugs him tightly, nearly radiating happiness.
"I hope you remember this time when you are feeling sad, because this certainly is one of those moments like in a movie with the happy feelings," she says, turning and getting comfy. She goes back to watching the stars, swinging her legs back and forth. "So so which one's a hammer, is that the one that looks like a bird?"

Happy emotions mean a lot to Firebolt. Optimus has to admit it's very infectious.
Optimus shifts his optics to reappraise the constellation. "I suppose it does look like a bird too, yes." He decides Firebolt's interpretation of the stars is better.
"So what have you been doing with yourself on the ship, anyway? Video games notwithstanding.

"Uhh, doin on the ship, doin..." She wonders out loud, "Absolutely nothing. I have been working on trying to make friends. And you are one of them! So that is a mission: success!"
She reaches up, sliding off her mouth plate for just a moment to rub at her face, almost in a tired sort of way, before sliding it back, "What about you? Whacha been doin?"

Optimus stares at the manually-removed mouthplate. "Huh, interesting." Optimus says. "Mouthplates where I come from are automatic." He encloses his own mouth with a mouthplate to prove his point. "But it would seem that some of the people here have permanent mouthplates, or at least they just don't like to retract them." The guard retracts.
"As for what I have been doing? I was reunited with a friend from my homeworld--one of my crew members. And learning more about my namesake." He pauses. "Firebolt... do you have an Optimus Prime where you come from? Could you tell me about him?"

"Oh," she says, pointing up at her face, "It IS automatic if I wanted, but like I'm doing anything else," it slides off and she smiles widely, as if somebody's going to take a picture of her. "CHEESE!" she declares, before it slides back. "I just like it better this way."
"I never got to fight with the Optimus Prime where I was from, cos I just stayed back and watched. I didn't think I was actually one of them. Maybe I thought they'd shoot me if I got close, I dunno," She leans back against him as she thinks, "But anyway, he was this big honkin' fire truck that was a load of kick ass and take names, but I got to see him be really I guess, noble too, and that's what made him a good leader over there." She swings her legs back and forth a little, and then turns and goes to reach up to the small head fins that are on the side of Optimus' head, "And he had somethin that look like these, cos I think that's something similar for you all across the dimensions. Which is cute, those are cute!"
