"Hello," says Ravage lightly. "Soundwave would like to join us, with your permission. He's protective of me, and we don't know you well. Is that all right? I have no secrets from him. He's a telepath. I can't. I understand if you decline, and you are well within your rights to say that what's between you is for you two alone. But I am concerned, because the relationship between myself and Megatron is called amica endura and it's my job to take care of him if he's hurt again like he was before, only I can't do it the way that I used to."

[Not that you're supposed to help your amica THAT way, Ravage.]
