[He looks rather unamused, but that's normal.]

Hypothetically speaking: say a giant robot wanted to get completely overcharged, who would I need to bug if I wanted to get a large supply of Energon or another energy source?

I do say, yes. You're fast, even exceedingly so... That doesn't mean there aren't others who couldn't keep up.

[Jetfire just... stares for a few seconds and then shakes his helm.]

And why should I go ask for you? You're perfectly capable of speaking for yourself and I'm not the one who really wants to get overcharged.

[Nevermind that soon he might want to, but he doesn't know that yet. And he still, of course, doesn't know Starscream's plan involves getting him overcharged either way.]

You could consider it a token for you appreciation towards me.

I think you finding me enough Energon in order to get overcharged will be enough.

Are you sure you want to waste any tokens of appreciation in such a way, Starscream? Especially as it wouldn't be that much energon... Two cubes, one after the other, should be enough, yes?

[There might be the tiniest of smirks on his faceplates as Jetfire says that, the rest of his expression and voice mildly curious.]

I should have an endless supply of tokens of appreciation from you.

That doesn't mean you should waste them on such small things with barely any return result, now does it?

Quality, not quanity, even if you... ah, happen to have... An unlimited supply.

If I have an unlimited supply then I can waste it on whatever I want.

And you can't stop me.

[Logic exists somewhere in there.]

I could keep that unlimited supply in reserve, and decide myself how and when to give it out.

[Once, this sort of teasing argument would have been about attention paid (Starscream was of course due all his attention back in the Academy), so this was familiar... but also new.]

How are you going to force me to do elsewise?

[Yes, Starscream. Do reveal the logic in it, because Jetfire would like to know.]

Do you want to sleep alone?

[Yes, that is a threat.]

[Jetfire will just sort of... quietly stare and then rub the front of his helm.]

I'm not going to run around and do your bidding just to keep you close while we recharge, Starscream, however pleasant I've found it to be.

[Resorting to base threats over being refused compliance so easily, Starscream?]

If we can't find energon or anything similar in the necessary quanities to waste on such a pursuit, and you haven't asked someone before that, I might go ask.

[Heavy emphasis on "might". He's not going to give in to your demands, Starscream.]

You are still no fun at all. Maybe I should go back to my own room.

[Huff. Why couldn't he have Skywarp or even one of the Combaticons here that he could order around easily?]

Yes, because how fun I am is dependent on my penchant for following your whims and orders. We'll see how it works out, all right?

[Probably just as well that Starscream didn't have anyone he could easily order around at the Keep.]
