So first Holi hugs Clipper, now she's hugging him. He hesitates for a moment before he wraps his arms around her shoulders, mumbling another heartfelt apology. He really has missed her so very much.
"It's weird," he finishes for her. By the time he lets her go again and steps back, his sunny grin is once more in place. "But you get used to it." Holi has. Mostly. Sometimes the looser rank structure leaves him flailing a little, but that's his problem, really. "Now," he adds with a more authoritative ring to his voice, "you should get that leg looked at." And he turns, presenting her his back and peering over his shoulder at her. "I'll carry you!" Because he's much less likely to jar her injured ankle on a doorframe carrying her piggy-back than gallantly in his arms.
Even if that would look more heroic.

Weird. Yes. Bless Holi for saving her from having to admit to anything more than that. And yes, she'll get used to it. She'll have to now, won't she.
For a moment, a brief look of despair flits across her features. Get used to it... Wha will she do now? The Governor is obviously not here, and she doubts that this Supreme Commander needs a secretary or anything...
Something to figure out later, she decides ruthlessly, before Holi can catch her distress. He has enough to worry about as it is. Besides, maybe Override can help teach her to be slightly less useless around here.
And it's that feeling of impending... inefficacy which rears its head when Holi gallantly offers tocarry her off for repairs.
"I am capable of walking, you know," she replies wryly. "I'm not that bad off."
The offer is very tempting, though, if for no other reason than it's a nice, covert way of huging im again without him knowing it - being made superfluous is really bugging her, more than she wants to admit, in fact. And on top of all the other strangeness... And he's going to giver her that look. The crushed one that means he thinks she's being a snob again that usually makes her feel all smug and superior that right now just makes her feel... tired.
"But, if it will make you feel better," she finally adds, making sure to pitch her voice into a bit of a sigh as she climbs on, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

"…It would, actually!" Holi declares, deciding he won't let that sigh bother him this time and instead taking care to hitch his arms under Clipper's thighs to support her. He couldn't help rescue her – imagine a rescue worker who can't do what he was built, programmed, and trained to do – but he can do this much for her.
She isn't the only one who feels light as a feather when Holi starts toward repair, happily humming some snippet of a song he probably heard from Bumblebee a while back.
OOC: Think we're ready for a fade-out?

There's another sigh, but this one is definitely not long-suffering, or even the least bit indulgent. It's almost content. Clipper laces her hands together across his chest, relaxing and trusting him to take her... well, wherever it is that he is taking her. Quickly. And cheerfully. Without any difficulty at all.
There are advantages to dating the Captain of the Rescue Patrol.
Clipper settles against his back and rests her head upon his shoulder as Holi happily piggy-backs her away.
ooc: fadu-outo!
