You spoke first.

You spoke first.

This was something unbelievable, inconceivable for you. You had spoke up first, before anyone else was able too. 

¨I am Magnus sir.¨ It was a simple statement ans quick before Sentinel could even open his intake to speak, ¨I was supposed to take his place if anything was to ever happen, but Sentinel was allowed too instead.¨

The table was fairly surprised by your willingness to speak without heavy prompting. Sentinel seemed more than furious, but it probably wasn't because you spoke freely, more likely what you had said instead. Luckily Optimus spoke before Sentinel could start his tirade at you.

¨Alright, can you... help me?¨ He asked a little

You gave him an open servoed gesture for him to elaborate a little, he just gave you a slightly confused look. Heaving a soft sigh.

¨With?¨ You said making the gesture again 

¨I don't know... What exactly I'm supposed to say right now?¨He really looked like he needed the help

¨How about you start with what you plan or want to do now that you're Magnus.¨ It was someone else that spoke up and suggested 

The new magnus looked a little relieved and started to explain a few of his plans and once again you allowed yourself to fall silent once more arms crossed over your chassis. You watched the new Magnus speak but your thoughts drifted a little trying to figure out why you spoke up so willingly, this was unlike you, this wasn't the you even you knew. 

It had to have been all the sudden changes around you that caused a random, all be it small, outburst of your own. This wasn't something that happened often with you though, you've lived through times of many changes. Not once have you broken your own usual silence besides the occasional time. Maybe you were thinking too much into this, maybe it was just one of those occasions when you broke your silence. 

That would make sense, but time it felt different. It felt like you wanted to speak more than you already have, like a dam had broken within your vocalizer and words were pooling at the back of your intake wanting and willing to fly free from your glossa and into the open air. 

Several of the primes had already started to ask the Magnus different things about what he plans to do and how he thinks they should do with certain issues. He answered in stride, though it was clear he was open to suggestion, even stating at one point that there had to be a reason for the former Magnus to pick all of the table so he should listen to them. That was a nice thought, an almost kind gesture. 

Optimus would occasionally steal a glance at you, as though expecting you to add something to the discussion. But you remained silent for the rest of the table meeting, he almost looked disappointed by this. You couldn't ever imagine why he would be, all the others had fair ideas, well except maybe Sentinel, but you didn't feel the need to interject with anything the other primes were saying.

But soon enough the meeting drew to a close and the table was allowed to leave. You did so neatly pushing your chair back into place before leaving without a word. Taking a turn to the left you were seeking to retire to your berth for the rest of the evening. Hopefully; avoiding the annoying force of Sentinel when he would come and demand respect and lecture you about how disrespectful you were for claiming you were the position that you have. 

You're thoughts were cut off by the sound of pedesteps jogging to catch up with you. Assuming it was Jazz you paused for a moment to let him catch up, but surprisingly it was Optimus Magnus. So you blinked in surprise at the mech who smiled shyly.

¨Hi....¨
