Sentinel Prime sneaks energon goodies whenever he thinks that Optimus won't notice. He has to go through a few different sections, and he eventually concludes, "I think you can use the axe as long as you keep the gavel in your other hand. Otherwise, in a crisis situation as defined in Chapter 17, if the defendant steals the gavel from you, he can declare himself judge and... no, wait, that's negated by Section III, so it really means that..."
Later
"..where have all the energon goodies gone?" Sentinel Prime asks, peering at the empty jar blearily.

Why is Sentinel Prime sneaking energon goodies? They're there for him to eat as much as for Optimus. Is he afraid that Boy Scoutimus Prime is going to tell him he can't have dessert before dinner?
"I think we got a bit off track somewhere. It's highly unlikely Hook is going to be able to steal the gavel with Grimlock acting as bailiff and half the Event Horizon jammed into the courtroom to watch the trial. Now, this bit here about what's acceptable as evidence . . ."
Later
Optimus is sprawled awkwardly over a chair, his back resting on the seat and his legs dangling over one of the arms, holding a datapad up over his head to read it. His free hand rests on the floor. He'd normally show more decorum, but being around Sentinel and not fighting is really making him feel like he's back in the Academy. "I guess we ate them all," he replies, equally tired. "At least we've never had another trial here, so I don't have to worry too much about precedent." Except for setting it, that is.

Optimus would tell Sentinel Prime that. Don't lie.
Meanwhile, Sentinel Prime wants to poke Optimus and tell him to straighten out. It's like an itch. He feels a bit of a buzz and checks his datapad, exasperated. Sentinel Prime stares at the message blearily.
After a moment, he says awkwardly, "Uhm. I think I should go. And... not talk about this anymore. And maybe dump my short term memory of all this. I... have jury duty."

Optimus might lecture Bumblebee and Bulkhead, but lecturing Sentinel would feel silly, because he knows advice rolls off Sentinel like water off a turbo-duck.
He bolts upright at Sentinel's news. "You're on the jury!?" It makes, sense, Optimus supposes. If anyone can be counted on to rule according to the law, Sentinel Prime can. "Well, see you around then. I think I ought to get some defrag before trying to study any more anyway," he adds blearily.
OOC: Head for a wrap?

Sentinel Prime's optics dim and blink. He looks vacant for a moment. He looks at what he's holding and remarks, "I'm on the jury?"
Sentinel Prime looks around and looks at the empty jar, the room, and Optimus, puzzled. Then he slaps his forehead and asks, "Did I just dump my short-term memory?"
Yes, he takes things seriously enough to do that. This may explain some of his other memory issues.

"A-apparently?" Optimus responds. "You just said you were considering doing it, I guess you did. Do you do that often?" Even as he asks the question, Optimus realizes it's a silly one. Obviously if Sentinel does, he wouldn't know about it. "It's probably not good for you if you do, you know! Anyway, I'll see you later, Sentinel. Get some rest."

"I... don't know?" Sentinel Prime admits, rubbing his chin. He sniffs a bit and tries to elbow Optimus in the arm, asking, "Hey, did we have energon goodies? We should do that again. The energon goodies. Not the... forgetting whatever it was I was doing." He further suggests brightly, "We could study together, like back at the Academy! How do you feel about trial law?"
Sentinel Prime looks pleased as punch by the whole idea, like a big bright blue balloon hovering just next to a pincushion.

Optimus Prime stifles a laugh behind a servo, managing to make it sound like a backfire. "That's . . . a great idea, Sentinel. Unfortunately, that's what we were just doing. I'm the judge for the trial and you were helping me brush up. The energon goodies were delicious."
Optimus will have to apply for a skill in Baking: (Amateur) if he keeps making energon goodies for people.

"I need a rest? You better get that engine checked," Sentinel Prime chastises, when Optimus 'backfires', and he tries to jab Optimus in the arm with a finger.
Sentinel Prime looks blank for a moment and then realises, "Oh. That's probably why I dumped my short-term memory. Right, so... I suppose I'll turn in, then. See you around?"
Then Sentinel Prime can start calling Optimus 'Domestic Prime' instead of 'Maintenance Prime'. It'll be great!

"Yeah, I really ought to start taking better care of myself, Sentinel. Thanks for watching out for me," Optimus responds, expending all of his considerable Green Lantern-esque willpower not to roll his eyes.
"Right, see you around Sentinel. Thanks for helping me study. I'll go ahead and clean up," he says, motioning at the various datapads scattered around.
(And Paranoid Jerkwad Brainwash Prime is one to talk, as long as we're throwing around nicknames.)

PJBP just seems like some sort of sandwich. Sentinel Prime appears mollified by Optimus's ceding to the point of taking better care of himself. Sentinel Prime always did have somewhat haywire sarcasm detectors, luckily for those wits around him. He hauls himself up and agrees, "Yeah, you do that." Domestic Optimus Prime is good at cleaning up, after all. - - - OOC: Wrap?

Perhaps it can be shortened to Sandwich Prime?
"See you later, Sentinel. Thanks again for the help," Optimus says, bending down to start the task of cleaning up.
OOC: Wrap!
