Clipper leans forward, avidly following every dramatic gesture and pose with wide, enraptured optics, leaning more and more forward as the story nears its climax until she joins Kup, hopping to her feet to clap with delight. No, it wasn't a literary masterpiece, and Grimlock isn't meant to be the next Hemmingway, however what the story had lacked in polish had been more than made up for by enthusiasm and daring.

When everyone else claps, Optimus offers polite applause of his own.
"I have to say--it's good to find a group of 'bots that appreciate a good story!"

If Grimlock had an actual face, he'd be be wearing the biggest, stupidest scrap-eating grin he could muster at the praise.
He turns to Optimus, and with clenched fists, shakes his forearms a bit excitedly. "Me Grimlock loooove good stories! Slag do too, but him not here right now. All Dinobots do where me Grimlock come from."

"What? Y'used to folks who don't care for stories, Optimus?" Kup asks, giving the young Prime an odd look. He snorts. "Glad I'm not there, then. Been there and done that sort of thing."
The veteran looks around at the group and smiles. "Anyways, much as I enjoy swappin' stories, it's high time I got some actual work done." He gives a friendly wave to everyone. "I'll see you kids later."

It's too bad that Holi isn't here, Clipper muses. With all these tales of heroism, Holi could tell one of his, too. Clipper is certain that he must have many of them, since he is under the Supreme Commander's command, after all.
"I suppooosssee...." she drawls slowly, sighing, "that I should go, too." Not that she has any real assigned duties, yet, but she really should be doing something about finding some real duties. Surely she can do something around here for her new friends, right? "But thank you very much for the stories! I enjoyed them very, very much!"

Optimus shakes his head. "The past just isn't talked about the same way it is here." But then Kup departs, so Optimus gives both him and Clipper a polite wave goodbye.
"I guess it is time to departed, too." He says to Grimlock and Firebolt (if she's still in here). "I'm sure before long has passed we'll have more stories to tell to the masses. Thanks for sharing yours."

Firebolt is indeed there, sitting quietly and listening. She's been practicing the whole "Listening to Others and Not Being a Loud Mouth" thing. She stands up, watching everybody else leave, and then pushes her fingers together as she looks up at Grimlock. Oh the movies have given her some interesting ideas.
"Uh, um, Mr. Grimlock, sir," she says, being oddly formal and shy. "You are really big n' strong, and stuff and... And I was wondering. Can I have a piggyback ride from you? You seem so nice and aaah-heh heh heh... You can turn me down if you want, cos I know I'm little and a nobody, and the movies just give me ideas," Her ponytails flatten down against her head in a shy sort of way as she stares up at him.

Grimlock glances around as everybody leaves, other than Firebolt, leaving just the two of them there now.
The request is an odd one, to say the least, but not without basis. After all, Grimlock gave Wheelie and Holi rides on his back before!
Grimlock transforms, hunkering down. Firebolt should be small enough. "Me Grimlock say okay!" He's in a good mood now, after everyone loved his story, so why not?

Firebolt jumps up and down, gleeing in excitement. She dances back and forth from one foot to the other, hesitant as she was expecting rejection.
"This'll be just like We're Back!!" She declares as she scrambles up onto his back and hugging him tightly, especially so she won't fall off. "Your story was so awesome. I can't wait to be able to tell stories that are full of amazing things!"
Once she's safely in place, she looks around, "Ok, I think I'm good," she says, her voice giddy with excitement.

"Me Grimlock no see that movie..." he says, in a rather curious tone. Grimlock didn't see a lot of movies. He wasn't really allowed to go to theaters.
He starts off down one of the tunnels, just kind of wandering around.

"Well, it's got dinosaurs, and everyone likes them, and there's a T-Rex and..." She stops, putting a finger to her mouth plate and thinks. "I have it if we want to watch later on. Ooh I have so many movies. And TV shows. We could watch Jurassic Park too. That has dinosaurs." She rambles somewhat, just overly excited and trying to get out a lot of information at once.
She clings tightly as she leans forward somewhat, trying to peek over and see if she can see Grimlock and his reactions.
"That ok?"

"Me Grimlock always want to see Jurassic Park, but Dinobots always got too excited at commercials, and Optimus wouldn't let us see it!"
Grimlock may or may not be pouting now.
"So yes, that good. Maybe me find Slag, too..." he rambles, heading off in some direction Slag may or may not be in.
