Oh it's like holding a Minicon all over again. Hmm? SHoulder? Yes yes. [ He adjusts and moves so his left shoulder is in view and reach. While he holds with his right hand. ]

Fascinating. [ He carefully sets her on his knee and protectively keeps his hand around her so she can stay sitting. ]

She's not exactly as smushy feeling as a human. Must be the exoskeleton and turtle shelling.

Hello, Aura. Remember Antlers? Untie Meg?

[eugenesis]

[Scorponok slides cold tweezers in the gap between the plating and injects a cool healing fluid inside. As it cleans up the rust in one spot, he works on other areas on his arm. Meanwhile, Aura's gaze swaps between the two mechs. Thanks to Megatron's support, she can direct herself to watch him and crane her neck to stare at Scorponok. Who is this, dad? her body seems to convey.]

The shell protects the soft parts, but she's still sensitive. If you are to handle her, do so gently.

[playfultyrant]

These hands will be as gently as handling the most delicate of materials. [ He states proudly and shivers at the injection. He's used to these things but its never pleasent but at least holding something so much more fragile them him makes him put on the brave face. ]

Gently gently. [ He repeats as he brushes a finger up at her face as an attempt to pet her. He coos out. ]

Do you see, Aura. Your father is not only a dedicated doctor but I am a brave soul who can handle a little bit of tinkering. I bet you're a brave one too. [ Oh what pride and joy she gives. He slowly rises his knee to bounce her when ever Scorponok is not busy in the careful work of his joints.]

[eugenesis]

Don't move your shoulder too much. It must heal. [He grabs Megatron's forearm and angles it to inject more of the liquid into his elbow joints.] Be careful with her. [His voice is harsh; Aura is more durable than a human, but he can't help but worry for her safety.

The baby, meanwhile, hums at the petting. She likes metal hands, and this guy feels comfortable. She accepts him as a friend.

The sudden bounce is fun! She giggles at the movement.]

I feel there's no sense in being afraid of an operation. I don't operate to kill, I operate to improve.

[playfultyrant]

I am nothing but careful, remember I had minicons in my care for along time [ Never mind the ownership he claimed over them as if they weren't sentiant... ]

And if you must know, being so small and young she would not understand you weren't trying to harm her. The point is, to show her now before she takes a check up some day and see there is nothing to be frightened of. Especially if you are in the room with her.

[eugenesis]

You make a good point. She's a big young to understand the concept of a check-up, but anything helps at an early age. [Aura, meanwhile, wriggles restlessly on Megatron's lap. Her parent is doing something to him, which she has no understanding of, but that doesn't matter. She wants entertainment.]

Any pain? [Scorponok asks as he steps away to refill the syringe.]

[playfultyrant]

You've struck a nerve but.... I'm putting a brave face. For Aura. [ He pets her face again with a finger and while Scorponok is turned away leans over and makes a face. ]

We make faces like this when pained . [ He purses his lips like when fleshly humans eat something sour or are pinched. ]

But in serious... I think the metal there is a little thin.

[eugenesis]

[Aura squeals at the exaggerated face. The connection between the expression and pain is lost on her.]

She remembers you. It's either the voice or the mannerisms. [He turns around and wipes the metal around his elbow.] We'll need a replacement here. Once the infection's all clear, come to my operation room.

[playfultyrant]

Agreed [ The feeling of warmth at being remembered by a creature a being who can't yet hold much memory at the young age... ]

It must be both... Is it both Aura?

[eugenesis]

She can't answer that. I haven't been able to replicate mnemosurgery for organics.

[Aura is fidgeting. Uncle Antlers has been playing with her, and now she's fired up for more games. It's making Scorponok more agitated as he inspects the rest of Megatron's back for injuries.]
