Orion stares at him for a moment - things here are playing out differently than he had been anticipating they would in the days proceeding. Having officially declared himself aligned with the Autobots since their conversation, he had somehow felt that whatever guise Megatron had been using since their reunion would have been discarded in favour of whatever malice was secretly lurking.

The lack of confirmation that way makes things far more difficult. His face is still flushed with jade, though now it's at least partially out of emotional constipation.

"Then what use is there to speaking with me?" he says, with just the slightest air of petulance. A rare showing for Orion Pax indeed.
