Frankly, Arcee is still trying to figure out of a lot of what's going on in those novels. She doesn't quite have the proper vocabulary or knowledge of human anatomy to fully understand them as she probably should.
She shrugs, partially ignoring Slag's blustering.. "I've got some free time, Kup, sure."

Slag snorts derisively. "Them alternates cheaters..." he mutters, sulking slightly. He's Slag, a dinobot! He's supposed to smash people in!
And he will smash that alternate Rodimus in. Oh yes, he will...
Regardless, Slag snorts. "Me think she silly alter eight dinobot anyway" he says. Hasn't even met her and already he dislikes her. That's the Slag way of life!
His attention already lost, Slag looks around for something more interesting to do. Possibly involving smashing something...

Kup nods. "Their Prime took down eight of ours last fight, including Slag here," he gestures, "and Grimlock." Then, he adds as a growl, "Doesn't help that some folks kept throwing themselves at him one at a time against orders." We, good guys, need new strategy! "Luckily, no one was permanently off-lined, but finding a way to deal with him is going to be a priority."1
When Arcee mentions having free time, Kup answers, "Good. Because I need to go work on some patrol schedules, and I need someone to show Springer around the camp - which tunnel we've got the medics in, where folks have been sleeping, that sort of thing. And you're volunteered."
Kup isn't quite sure what to say to the proclimation that Bambi is a silly alter eight, and instead asks, "You think you can stay out of trouble a few hours, Slag?"
1 It is assumed that the announcement has been made about Pee-Dee.

Springer, like Arcee only pays Slag half his attention, the rest focused on what Kup is saying. "Eight? Ouch... Rough, but at least it was no more than that. And yeah, good that no one bit the big one..." He shakes his head, sighing a bit. "Now I really miss my team all the more."
Springer then smiles at what Kup tells Arcee. "Heh, that'd be good with me. Give me a chance to make up for that little blunder earlier..." he says, turning toward Arcee.
Speaking of blunders...
Springer looks back over at Kup for a moment. "Can I get the frequency for the red 'bot that met me first? Firebolt, was it? Wanna at least offer an apology for earlier." Then again, who offers hugs in the middle of drama?

More time with Springer, even one who thought she was a guy? Well, Arcee can handle that, no problem at all.
And here she is, half acting like a love struck girl, when she is really one of the fiercest shots on Cybertron. What in the world is wrong with her that she acts like this sometimes? How can she be so emotional and strange at times, and so fighting tough at others? Maybe she has some kind of programming glitch.
"Sounds good to me, Kup," she says. "And don't worry about it, Springer. You didn't know."

Slag snorts yet again, and folds his arms over his chest. "Of course me can stay out of trouble. Me Slag always stay out of trouble, me make it!"
His attention now drifting towards other things, Slag walks off down a random direction, possibly to cause trouble.

Kup rubs the bridge of his nose with his right thumb and pointer as he sighs. "Not... exactly what I meant," he mutters after Slag. He looks towards Springer. "Firebolt's frequency is <frequency>, and just to give you a heads up, she's female, too."
"Well, I'll see you both around, but for now, I've got work to do." And with that, Kup heads off as well.

Springer doesn't mind the lovestruck femme angle. Heck, he probably doesn't even notice it.
He thanks Kup, and bids him farewell before turning back to Arcee, chuckling a bit at Slag. "Man...totally different from my Slag. Does the Grimlock here talk like that?" Springer is deprived of Awesome Cartoon Style Dinobots, 'cause Furman didn't like 'em like that. Jerk.
Then he glances around, then motions to Arcee. "Lead the way, I guess. I've seen the entrance by the temple, and the abandoned parking lot near there already, but that's about it..."

Arcee nods. "Yeah, he does. Grimlock acts fierce, but deep down, he's pretty much a big softy. You should see the way he looks out for Wheelie and Holi."
She quickly remembers that Springer probably doesn't know who either of those two are. "They're two of the smallest guys around here, and both have pretty childlike personalities... though Wheelie's pretty dangerous when he wants to be."

For a moment, Springer just stares at Arcee.
"Grimlock? That big hothead, a softy? You gotta be kiddin' me..."
He shakes his head, then shrugs. "I s'pose anything's possible though. Next thing you know, I'll run into pacifist versions of Topspin and Twin Twist..."

"Yeah, well... he doesn't shot it too often, but if you look right, you know it's there. He's practically a babysitter to our human friend, Daniel," Arcee goes on.
She doesn't recognize the names of Topspin and Twin Twist, but what he says is enough to put her in mind of Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, and that gets enough of the picture across.
"C'mon then, let's give you the ten cent tour."

Grimlock, taking care of organics. And them living. And enjoying it. THAT would be a sight to see.
Topspin and Twin Twist could probably wipe the floors with the Lambos, but that's neither here nor there.
"Yeah. So...you knew another me, huh? Same one as Kup?"

Fortunately, Arcee is not from far enough in her timeline to mention Grimlock being a waiter and wearing a little bow tie.
She nods in response. "Yeah. We were..." she stumbles a bit over the right word here. "Good friends. Him, me, Hot Rod, and Blurr. The four musketeers."

The reference is a bit lost on Springer, but he's still having a hard time wrapping his head around the idea of being close to those guys.
"Huh. My Hot Rod is ...well, he's interesting. Thrill-junkie, kinda immature, but his spark's in the right place. Rumor has it that he went into one mission surfing on an asteroid during re-entry, but I don't know if there's truth to it. Wouldn't put it past him, though." He chuckles. "Never met Blurr personally, but he's a rather famous racer back home."
----------- OOC: Hopefully that's vague enough for me to be right and not get Joss'd once Spotlight: Blurr comes out.

She actually laughs at that. "All right, I'll believe that. I could totally see Hot rod doing that."
Arcee smiles. "Blurr's a nice guy, except for when he's panicking. We all balanced each other out, most of the time."
Even if she did feel like she was usually the only one using her head.
