[Somebody is looking, well she's still blue but! Her features seem softer, or at least more feminine than before.

Or it's just cause she's been away for a good while, who knows but she's in a good mood all things considered.]

So, hey. I was, I guess busy is the best way to put it? [Because she's not going to explain that she maybe kind of poofed and took a while coming back.] Yeah, busy. But things are cleared up and I feel like I... Missed somethings?

[She's out of the loop like whoa.]

So what interesting things have happened with the lot of you?

[She's going to hold out a hand for him to take, if he wants to go with hand-holding.]

No, I just... Had company that I wanted the place clean for.

[She's not going to let Soundwave know who and what that company was. Or the fact that well, after their last close encounter she had made some quality of life changes in more private spaces.]

[peacewithouttyranny]

I see.

[He takes the offered hand, lacing his fingers around Lapis. Even though he could've held her hand normally, he likes interlacing more this way. Just don't say a word about how he likes holding hands.]

Must be a very important company if you were willing to tidy up your place. You didn't even do much to clean up the place when I came to visit. [Granted, the first visit was him basically inviting himself, and the second was... moon reasons.]

[riptidequeen]

[His secret hand-holding technique is safe with Lapis, as she lets out a breathy chuckle at his words. She'd say pretty much every time Soundwave has been over has been him just dropping in.]

Yeah, it was. It went well too, so tidying up was worth it.

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Good, so far people have respected his hand-holding preference by keeping it secret. His head tilts slightly, face still inexpressive as ever, but there is a hint of curiosity.]

Ah... Mind telling me more about what exactly went well? [Bring out the deets, blue.]

[riptidequeen]

[Nope, nope nope, she's blushing now and that could be an answer for Soundwave.]

Valentines went well. [She nods, as if that is a good answer.]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Ah, a blush. And 'Valentine's went well. Quite the answer. Just those would be satisfactory, but... he is curious, still.

Rather than saying anything though, he simply stares at Lapis, expectant, waiting for her to expand on the answer.]

[riptidequeen]

[The staring just makes her blush deepen, as she's not adding anything else to her answer.

So a moment of silence before she does say something.]

What?

[peacewithouttyranny]

Are you not going to add more details about how your Valentine's went?

[Her reaction is just os amusing to watch. But he'll try to ease her up a little.]

You don't mind sharing what happened with your friend, here? I promise you that whatever you say does not leave this room.

[riptidequeen]

Um, well it's more I don't think he'd appreciate me sharing?

[Keyword in there being "he", and with her flustered-ness and blushing it should be easy for Soundwave to put two and two together.]

Even if you didn't tell anyone I feel like I'd be breaking his trust.

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Ah... Now things are becoming clearer now, even though he wasn't given the straight details. Satisfied with Lapis' answer, he finally backs off from probing her for more.]

I see. That's a satisfactory answer... I do not wish to break your friend's trust.

[riptidequeen]

[She laughs a little nervously, but it a genuine laugh and she's relieved that Soundwave isn't prying more. Heck, she even gives his hand a squeeze.]

Thanks, it's not anything I like... Regret doing just, it's private.
