"It's good to know you're at least relatively safe. You want me to stop by with some supplies? We're trying to put together a standard care package for when we find someone."

Elly freezes at the thought of Optimus Prime seeing her in her fragile, fleshy form, with all of its defects. They aren't the best of pals, but he will surely unfriend her if he sees her like this!
But she could use a gun, since that nice Det. Dahlia told her that real normal people can have them, and some good quality knives she can hide in some of the ridiculous boots that she has found in her wardrobe.
Also a more secure line of communication, that would be nice.
Maybe some locks?
Slag it, why did Optimus have to morph into Santa Magnus?
Elly coughs a few times and admits, "I think that I could put together a list. If it wouldn't trouble you."

Optimus has never unfriended Sentinel Prime for the things that are under his control (i.e. being Sentinel Prime all the damn time) so he's certainly not going to unfriend him for something outside his control, like suddenly being tiny and squishy.
"Sure. That's what I'm here for."

Being Sentinel Prime is acceptable in Animated Autobot society. It is very acceptable. Being organic is not.
In some ways, Elly hates that it seems like she can never pull herself out of a hole without Optimus being at the edge and offering her a hand. Even if the scenario is different, at least it is familiar, but if Optimus uses her as a bowling ball this time, she's going to slash his tyres.
"Thanks Optimus, you're a pal. I'll get you that list," which she does, and it contains what one would expect of a paranoid space robot jerk trapped in a woman's body.

Technically, this Optimus has never used Sentinel Prime as a bowling ball.
"Okay."
There is a pause whilst we handwave the contents of the list.
"I can get you all these things, though a couple of the items might take a while. Do you want your bonsai tree? It might be a little less bonsai to you now."

But this Optimus Prime has also never saved her from Headmaster, so while he doesn't lose the bowling ball points, he doesn't gain the rescue points, either.
"It... is my responsibility," she says stiffly, "I am not sure where I will put it," because it won't fit inside her apartment, essentially being a giant potted tree to a human, "but yes, bring it. It is my duty to figure out how to care for it."

"You know Sentinel, you could interpret that duty as leaving it where it is, and instructing someone else in its care, if it would be a hassle to deal with as a human." Because yes, it is probably bigger than she is now.

"And trust someone else to take good care of my tree? Are you kidding me!?"
Is Optimus expecting the micro-managing paranoid control freak to go out on a limb and expect someone to turn over a new leaf and take care of her tree? Besides, the tree is one of the very few things that she has control over in her life right now.

"Okay, okay, I'll bring you your tree!" There's no need to get . . . pun . . . about it.

"Maybe if I just buy a second parking space in the lot, I can put the tree there," Elly thinks aloud, "Some people have boats and trailers and things."
She needs a hobby that isn't bonsai.

"I don't think parking lots work that way."

Thanks, Sentinel. Optimus had noticed that.
"Right. I'll drop off the tree along with the other supplies, then."

Just look, Sentinel is doing it again, by convincing Optimus to deliver a tree to a parking lot!
That has to be one of the dumber things Optimus has done just because Sentinel said so. Top ten?
"Thanks, buddy. You're a pal."
Now to go find a paper bag and put it over her head or something, so that Optimus doesn't have to behold this awful humanity.
