"Yeah. Ratchet's been busy but the worst of it's taken care of..." Rodimus replies. This wasn't the Optimus he was expecting at all...the anger doesn't seem to have retreated at all, and the terse way he answers surprises Rodimus. There's an agonisingly long moment of uncomfortable silence where he doesn't know what to say next. Clearly there are going to be no pleasantries here; this conversation needs to happen, so he might as well get it over with...even if saying the words is nearly physically painful.
"I...um..." Rodimus' voice is strained, and he watches Optimus closely as he speaks. "I hope...I hope you're not angry. Um...about...I mean, you probably are. Angry. With me. And the er...things that I did."
