"Thanks, Mistwind. I do try. And be careful with the scope on that, it's very delicate."
Swindle grins right back at the Seeker. "Wing mount it is! I can get all the parts and have it ready for you in few local days." He nods to himself as Duskwing offers to pay him in labor. "Sounds like a plan, my friend! I've already had a few groups try to run protection rackets on me. It's cutting into my bottom line having to throw them out myself every time. I'll give you the addresses I'd need you to look after, you'll keep away the riff-raff until we're off-planet, and you and I will be all square! Deal?" The merchant extends a hand to shake.

Mistwind shoots Swindle a look. He answers politely, yet with a slight undertone of bafflement, "Of course I am careful, sir".
To emphasize that, Mistwind picks up the new launcher, examines it carefully and begins to store it away with a gentleness one wouldn't have expected the child to possess.

Duskwing stared at the proffered hand for a moment, then grabbed it and wagged it from side-to-side. He was a little fuzzy on some of these odd customs, and deliberately pointing his arm-guns at someone's main transformation joints seemed impolite at best.
"Deal!" The dark blue Seeker grinned; he'd get to bust heads some more! He could really get to like this version of Swindle-- "Hey, I bet you can come up with better plans than my old partner did! This is gonna rock!"
He turned to look at Mistwind. "You good, kid? Looks like you got some cool gear there."
--- Heading toward thread wrap?

Shaking hands side to side works. Swindle's had to do odder things to seal business deals. The Bartering Dance of the Bird People of Vortigox IX stands out as one of the more complex ones. "You'll have to tell me about your old partner some time, maybe he's got an alternate in my universe."
OOC: Wrap is fine by me.

From his spot, Mistwind observes the two larger Decepticons as they converse. For just a second, his polite and waiting expression mixes with a hint of immense sadness and nervousness as the subject turns on 'partners'.
But when Duskwing turns, all of that flows away like quicksilver, expertly replaced by a joyous grin belonging a kid who just got a super-sized rainbow-coloured lolly-pop, "All good Duskwing Sir!". He even pats the casing reassuringly.
"I better go to the solid light simulation chamber now to practice some more with this....!" As Mistwind jumps off the table, he slings the bazooka across his shoulder, causing it to be supported by his turbines. He waves when bolting out the door, "See you later, Duskwing Sir, Swindle Sir! Bye now!"

"Who, Windtalon? Ah, he was a jerk. Came up with lousy plans, and when the slag hit the rotors, he ran out and left me to get slagged." Duskwing shrugged. "Can't figure why you'd wanna know about him. Anyway, gimme a call when the thing is ready, or you got some work for me at the new place."

"Will do, Duskwing! Drop by any time, you two!," Swindle says as the unlikely duo leaves. As the door shuts behind them, he turns to face his video editing suite. So much to do and so little time.
OOC: Looks like a wrap.
