   Summary

   " Hey, uh … I know you're probably not ready to, but uh. We haven't talked about what happened in England. "

   The Prime freezes mid-step, his spark stuttering & his optics brightening sharply with what he can only describe as alarm. Cade has been around Transformers for a long enough time that he can easily read their body language, even the prideful leader's — this isn't mere hesitation, this is fear. & beneath that is a thin layer of resignation & an even thinner layer of anger: anger … at himself.
