Nimbus does not flinch under her gaze. He means what he said. Risking himself is something he does without a thought. Risking others for his own good... doesn't sit right with him.
"No, no," Nimbus insists, putting his hands up, "the room thing is all up to you, Shahar."
Nimbus has some sense of decency.
He suggests helplessly, "I, uhm... you can have a... big... wedding if you want?" Then, he points out, "You may not need to worry about... years of family dinners. I'm sure that Botanica and Perceptor will have everyone back in our robot forms before long."
That may be the wrong thing to say.

Slade looks stricken, all the blood draining from his face. "God, what are we going to tell our parents when we go back to being robots?"

Shahar is about to answer Nimbus, when Slade breaks in. Suddenly answering her brother seems more urgent. "That we still love them, I imagine. After all just because my form may change doesn't mean my feelings for them will." She hopes. Though other than feelings and memories which were impacted by the process of growing up itself, the transition doesn't seem to have changed her too much from Oracle to Shahar.
Turning her attention back to Nimbus, Shahar shakes her head. "Trust me, we don't have time to plan a big wedding. Those things take ages to prepare for. The offer was sweet though." She smiles at him, before her grin turns a wee bit mischievous. "Well, if you trust me with your honor, it probably would be best for us to share a room, just in case." Because Shahar tends to plan for worst case scenarios, when she can.

"If you were going to do something terrible to me in my sleep, you would have done it already," Nimbus observes, feeling that this point is quite reasonable. His wiggles his eyebrows. "Or maybe you already have! I hope not. Anyway, I'm not concerned. If you want to share a room, we'll share a room."

Slade nods slowly. "Okay. Okay. I can handle this."
They're his family, and he will murder someone if he's taken away from his family against his will ever again.
He shifts and turns, wrapping his arms around Shahar and resting his forehead against her shoulder. "So you're getting married tomorrow. Cool."

Shahar couldn't help the amused snort at Nimbus' observation. Which turns into a laugh at the eyebrow wiggle. "No, I haven't done anything to you in your sleep. I do believe you're safe from any predatory actions on my part." She won't make any such assurances about cuddling, she's grown used to curling up with Slade since it's comforting for both of them.
Speaking of comforting, Shahar shifts position to help draw Slade into her arms as he turns around to hold onto her. Resting her head against his as she wraps her arms snugly around her brother, she nods slightly. "Yeah. I'm getting married. But I'm not going anywhere, I promise." She wouldn't have made the offer to Nimbus if she thought he would pull her away from Slade. She has no intention of leaving her little brother.

Nimbus is fine with snuggling, though he'll never get into a position where his wings, if he had them, would be forced to clip through a solid object. That's a quirk of his.
He gives Slade a concerned look. Nimbus realises something, and he reminds, "As Autobots, we are free to leave if we want. So if you want to live out your life as a human, you can just... not use whatever fix we figure out in the end, as long as the fix doesn't hit everyone? And even if you get turned back into a jet because everyone does, you could just... I dunno, stay and work at that toy store anyway?"
Yes. Every toy store needs a jet with a box cutter as an employee.

"I will not leave Oracle," Slingshot snaps in Spanish-accented Cybertronian.
Even if every store totally needs an alien war machine for an employee.

Shahar wraps her arms even tighter around Slade and just holds on while she watches Nimbus over his shoulder. "The Autobots might let one walk away," she agreed quietly, "but there are more parties involved than that." Oracle would place no bets on their safety as humans long term, not now, not anymore.
"Better to be Transformers again and our family safe, than human and our family dead because we couldn't let them go." Slade is close enough to Shahar to tell she's not as stoic about saying that as it seems, but she's still determined she's right. Even if it hurts to admit.

Nimbus throws up his hands defensively and sputters, "You can go with her if you choose! She can choose to be a Transformer again - and I think she's right, here."
Decepticons are jerks.

Slade nods. "Yeah," he says to both of them. "You're right."
His eyes drift closed and he snuggles closer to Shahar. It has been a long day, and he is hurt and tired, and she is warm and safe. "Missed you, Skyblast."
Not so much anyone else, but hey.

Of course Shahar is right! She's always right, except when she's not. Privileges of being a big sister.
Reaching a hand over, Shahar snags her medkit and tugs it close enough to carefully get back to work without making Slade move. She can work on him just fine without dislodging him from where he's cuddled into her and he feels like he could use the affection as much as the patching up.
Looking up at Nimbus she nods. Decepticons are definitely jerks.

Nimbus looks vaguely surprised that Slade missed him. Nimbus is awesome, of course, but Slingshot is so prickly, and Skyblast is so aloof that he really wasn't expecting anything. He gives Slade a showman's smile, and he assures, "Shahar will make sure that you don't die."
OOC: Fade?

"She's good at that. Gets a lot of practice." Slade's grin is half-hidden in Shahar's shoulder.
He'd be confused at Nimbus being confused. Yeah, they hadn't always gotten along, but Slingshot didn't always get along with his brothers and sister either. (And he thinks he has a different perspective on this 'being human' thing: for him, it's been twenty-odd years since he last saw an Autobot besides Oracle.)
ooc: I'm good with a fade.
