At ease? Mistwind can't be at ease because Assault just had a gun trained on him. The last time Mistwind used his armguns, organic rats died. DIED! Guns are for killing!
He listens to Assault, wondering if the mech is adding insult to injury on purpose. More than one dire question is distracting him, untill the door is forced open and Duskwing comes barrelling inside!
"Oh n-!" he yelps, remembering that he radioed when that armgun had been duly pointed to him and powered up.
"FREEZE" The command wasn't for him, but Mistwind's systems have gone through so much shock by now they just comply to it no questions asked. His third near-death experience of today hits the floor as quick as the purple flier's arrival, and with a cry of anquish from his frying nerves, Mistwind admits in utter shock, "I made a mistake!! Please don't!!"
He really doesn't wanna watch this happening! Oh this so bad.... He will never forgive himself if the two damage each other because of him!

The Seeker is about to impart more of his twisted concept of fatherly wisdom on the child when something rather unexpected happens. He whirls around and expresses a quick "What the deuce?" before he is suddenly looking down the barrel of an arm cannon!
The other Seeker gets a quick glare before he complies, stepping aside, but as soon as he has done so he decides to put his thoughts into words. "Duskwing, have you gone mad!? Explain yourself this instance!"

Duskwing gestures with his gun, trying to get Assault to move further away from both him and Mistwind. Out of the side of his mouth, never taking his optics off Assault, he tells Mistwind, "Good kid, stay down."
Pure fury shines out of Duskwing's optics as he glares at Assault. "I'm askin' the questions here, you're answerin'! What the slag did you do to my partner?".
Something Mistwind said finally registers. Again, Duskwing says out of the corner of his mouth, "What kinda 'mistake' is dat, kid? You tell me he's about to kill you, dat ain't somethin' you mistake easy. 'Less you tryin' to cover for his worthless shiny blue officer-wannabe aft."

Cringing, Mistwind admits in sorrow "m-Mister Assault pointed a charging weapon at me, Mister Duskwing Sir, like you're doing right now! But then he suddenly starts telling me a motivation story.... I interpre- eh, got mixed messages!"
To Assault, he gasps, "I'm so sorry, Mister Assault Sir!"
No-one's ripping into one another yet. One nerve cracks and Mistwind briefly wonders with how many Decepticons he would be able to get angers with in one single day. That thought needs to shut up now, please, thank you.

Well, that makes sense. But it does not take away the annoyance that comes with a gun being pointed at him. It is even more annoying because Duskwing is a dumb brute, an angry dumb brute! Will he even listen to anything Assault has to say?
"I advised him on how to come to terms with the loss of Lugnut. He misconstrued what I said and dared to mouth off to me and I reminded him of who he was speaking too. I was not planning to actually fire on him at point blank range, merely to scare him straight."

Duskwing risks a quick glance at Mistwind. Is that the shadow of a dent, a streak of paint on the side of the kid's face? Duskwing has a good idea how officers (and wannabes) 'remind someone of who they're speaking to'.
He turns off his arm-laser and lowers it; just as the charge finishes whining down, Duskwing takes a quick step forward and punches Assault in the face, one hard quick jab to his mouth, and then steps back.
"Clear out your audials, Blue, and listen good. The kid is my partner," Duskwing snarls. "If he needs any remindin' of his place, I'll do it. You don't touch my partner! Got dat yet? He fights wit' me, 'gainst Bots, an' you messin' wit' him is the same as messin' wit' me."
He stabs a finger in the general direction of Assault's chest. "Do I gotta remind you what I did the last time you messed wit' me, Blue?"
"Now, you gotta a beef wit' the kid, you tell me what it is, see?" Duskwing gives Mistwind a stern look. "Mistwind, get up now. If the kid isn't doin' what he oughta, or doin' something he shouldn't oughta, I ain't gonna let him run 'round wit'out no discipline, see?" The pointy finger comes back out. "But YOU don't go pointin' no weapons at my partner and slappin' him around, see?"

Mistwind resists to cringe under Duskwing's look, though he looks quite pained at the situation. He watches and listens intently, fascinated with the defense he's getting. Unusual, unexpected to actually happen (it was polite to announce that he was gonna die, right?)... and he realises he must not get used to it. Duskwing might be his partner, but all of them are military fighters. This is an anomaly. This is an exception.
Obeying Duskwing's command as quick as he had to Assault's, he casts a glance at Assault, quite interested. Mistwind's anxiety drops away because what the blue Seeker is gonna say next might as well clear his intentions. Is the Seeker gonna turn Duskwing on Mistwind, or settle this?

Duskwing's little tirade is met with a snarl. How dare this insolent brute speak to him in such a disrespectful way? Let alone send his fists flying at him! He does not resist the punches and instead merely braces himself against them, pain blurring his sensors as he's send stumbling back, hissing loudly as he brings a hand up to hold his now dented nose. It's that Mistwind is near them, or Duskwing would pay for this dearly.
But when that finger jabs at him and Duskwing makes himself sound like he is suffering from selective amnesia, Assault finds himself unable from restraining himself completely, snarling at the other Seeker. "No, allow me to remind you. I humiliated you and then fought you into a stalemate. Or did you forget that little detail?"
No action is otherwise taken, though. He lets Duskwing finish his little rant, his optics briefly darting at the kid, before snarling at the mech again. "Then allow me to tell you exactly what problem I have with his behavior. He is handling the loss of Lugnut like an Autobot and not as a Decepticon. If you do not appreciate the thought of me tutoring the child, then I advice you to be a proper partner by showing initiative instead of keeping yourself absent until he happens to contact you."

Duskwing's optics narrowed. "You mean you cheated in the fake sim, and then I sent you to medical in pieces in the real world? See if you can remember things right, Blue! You mess wit' me, you mess wit' my friends or my partners, I mess back. Leave me 'lone, I leave you 'lone. Dat ain't real hard to grasp."
He turned to Mistwind and snapped, "Pack up and let's go! You and me gonna straighten you out, and Blue here can go play Full Stasis with his afterburner. I ain't hanging around here yammerin' at him 'cause I can't handle dat much fractionated dross in one go."

Mistwind bows his head a bit lower when Assault looks at him and keeps quiet. He wants to mouth a 'sorry' but resists. At this point no-one needs for him to talk or anything.
He snaps to attention, turns around and hides the boxes with bolts out of the way in record time. He does not acknowledge his plush toy as he hurries back to the mechs, keeping on his toes to move. "This one stands ready, Mister Duskwing Sir."

"Why you insolent, arrogant, deluded-!" Assault snarls, but refrains from doing anything other then that, even if every servo of his body is rattling and ready to lash out. No, instead he snarls a "Very well" at Duskwing's proposal and then storms out of the room, leaving the two as the door slams shut behind them.
He will have to call off Brawl. Duskwing doesn't deserve a simple beatdown for this. He deserves much worse.
And Assault will need time to think of a suitable punishment, as well being in the position to inflict it.
OOC: Out of thread unless stopped.

"Huh."
Duskwing stares at the closing door in mild bewilderment. Duskwing was going to leave, taking Mistwind with him, leaving Assault to stew by himself. Only Assault stormed off instead, leaving Mistwind with Duskwing. Well, he was going to take Mistwind to a room without Assault. Now they had a room without Assault.
"Huh! I don't get dat guy half the time." He turned to look Mistwind up and down. "Now, whatfor did he say you were grieving like a 'Bot?"

Mistwind responds not when Assault leaves. He just stares as well. He cringes when Duskwing asks him that question, but hastens to answer dutifully, "The death of unit Lugnut, Mister Duskwing Sir."
Shaken, he adds: "B-but... Hook's gone as well! And all the recent changes here... and... and you guys returning from battle all damaged.... Mister Assault didn't count -that- in. I swear one death would not upset me so, Mister Duskwing Sir!" He feels a ramble coming up, so Mistwind shuts up now. Steeling himself, he mumbles the fire burning in his heart, "I'm not a broken Autobot."

Duskwing stared at the kid until he processed what was said; then he scowled. "Didn' ask why, kid. Asked 'what'. What were you doin' dat made him think dat? And what kinda 'upset' is you?"
Assault was an annoying jacked-up, aft-heavy officer wannabe, but he wasn't stupid or blind. What'd he see that Duskwing had missed all this time?

"I was working diligently, Mister Duskwing Sir" he bows his head, "And I'm the 'angry' kind of upset.". His gaze catches the bolt lying forlorn on the floor, backtracking the conversation with Assault, "I threw that bolt, Mister Assault heard that. He inquired my number of skirmishes and deceased allies. Lugnut counts for one deceased ally" He looks up to Duskwing, "It was zero before. This one has no reference..."
