I have, yes. Cybertronian is a long-lived species; it's not uncommon that we lived for millions of years.

[It's normal for him... not so much for others, apparently.]

Most other species don't compare, as far as I'm aware.

[ringlette]

[ A bit like a deity. Marie is a bit in awe at the idea, but... ]

I do have a difficult time trying to figure out what other species could match you. I am not even sure my Earth had been around for that long.

It is impressive to me.

[peacewithouttyranny]

I am certain my homeworld was formed even before Earth was. There is a Cybertronian who lived longer than the Earth in my galaxy and is still alive.

I suppose it is impressive. Humans have a very short lifespan, don't they? Shortest of any species I know. [Spirits aside, of course]

[ringlette]

My... it makes me wonder if any of the deities in my world lived that long before Earth's creation. Depending on the religion, they themselves created it in the first place.

They do. I, myself... well, I passed away before my youth could even wither at all.

[ It's a bit weird to talk about, since he knows how she died... ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

Ah... I'm sorry, Marie.

[It's hard to forget how she died. It was unfair... Humans die as easily, too.]

The deities from your world... Unless I am assuming wrong, it sounds as if they are real from your world, if they themselves created your world's religions. We have our own deities and such, but a certain someone from my world disproved of all their existence.

[ringlette]

It is water under the bridge now. I am fine.

You are mostly correct. I even got to meet a few of those deities. They are the same kind of spirit as I am, but their origins are obviously different.

Did they? I suppose religion is not as strong and influential in your world.

[peacewithouttyranny]

Must be interesting to meet deities.

No, religion was strong and influential in my world. For the longest time it was, and corrupted government and powers used religion as an excuse to segregate... labeled people like me an Outlier.

But anyway. The bot that disproved our legends and myth... Apparently, he was dragged backward in time when we stopped his villainy. Sent him back at the dawn of Cybertronian civilization. Knowing all of Cybertron history and the future, he invented every story, legend, and religion- even acting as one of the 'deities' -and had history played out exactly as he intended to for his mad plan. It was all a fabrication from the start, and everything that was wrong about my world was his fault. His penultimate plan was to shatter Cybertron's faith completely, eliminate every superstitious, in order to allow chaos to reign.

That being said, I still believe in the higher power. Faith. He may try to convince everyone that faith is meaningless and was something he invented, but I won't have that.

[ringlette]

[ ... ]

It does sound like what people in the modern day would use religion for. I am so sorry.

Sacre bleu... for one person to be able to change the entire history and cause so many problems... it is so scary! I had someone try to pull out something similar, to cause humanity's extinction, but we stopped him eventually.

Your faith is precious, and so is mine. It is just right to keep protecting it from those who want to impose their beliefs on us.

[peacewithouttyranny]

It's all in the past. Such corruption is no longer in my homeworld after the war, but it is sad to know corruption like that exists in other worlds, too.

It's good that you stopped your threat. Our homeworld was destroyed, unfortunately, but we managed to stop his scheme... For someone with only one hand, he had his hand on everything. But it is thanks to my faith and everyone else's that we managed to save the galaxy. My faith is important to me. Without it, I wouldn't be here.

[ringlette]

It is a strong force like that. If it helped you dispel your threat, I do not doubt for a second it will get you through other troublesome situations in the future.

I am very happy for you, even despite the price you had to pay in order to save your galaxy.

[peacewithouttyranny]

This discussion shifted rather seriously, didn't it? Somehow it wasn't so lighthearted anymore.

I'll make it up for you, Marie.

[He's going to be cute about it, too. He's already on his avatar form, and with an already cute voice, he'll switch over to audio--]

Vous êtes belle ma reine. [Google translate ahoy]

[ringlette]

[ The switch has her blink at the device, as she's quickly interrupted from typing up a reply where she would have gently rebuffed those apologies.

When she hears the voice of his avatar, and it's a gracious attempt to speak French, her heart melts instantly. ]

Merci beaucoup. Tu es plutôt magnifique toi-même.

[ And with that, the whole religion matter is left behind. ]

[peacewithouttyranny]

[While obviously not as fluent, he knows Marie appreciates his attempts at French regardless, so he's confident speaking to her, quality aside. He's able to pick up words from Marie, naturally, but it's a good thing Cybertronians usually come equipped with a universal real-time translator.]

Merci.

Marie ... Il y a quelque chose que je veux te dire. Les bisous me manquent. Je ... souhaite être à nouveau intime avec toi.

[He's gotten over his hang-up being intimate with her.]

[ringlette]

[ A couple months had passed since she delivered the news about Sanson to Soundwave and he asked for some space to fully take it all in. True to her word, Marie patiently waited and acted like a regular friend the whole time they worked together at the cafe, with no pressure whatsoever coming from her. Boundaries must always be respected.

So when he expresses in ful French that he wants to kiss her again, her delight is obvious in her voice. ]

Je vois. Voulez-vous rattraper les baisers avec moi?

[ Warmly, she then adds: ]

N'importe quand.

[peacewithouttyranny]

[He appreciates Marie's patience, the time they acted as regular friends when together, and still gave him some needed space to think up to this point. Even though he had several partners to fulfill his needs during the past moon cycles, he felt like something was missing without Marie. Maybe it's because she was the first person he became intimate with on this world, or that her love for him was so genuine. Whatever it is, he's drawn back to her.

He knew she'd be pleased to have one of her lovers- her pet -return to her, and yet it still warms his spark to hear the delight in her voice.]

... Maintenant. Êtes-vous libre, ma reine?

[ringlette]

Oui.

[ Sharply quick as a response. She would love to have him back in her arms, pronto. ]

Tu sais où est mon appartement.

[peacewithouttyranny]

Je serai là, ma reine.

[He won't waste a second longer. Immediately after that, his avatar rematerializes in front of Marie's front door and he knocks on it.

The second the door's open for him, he'll throw himself into the arms he so dearly missed before pecking her on the cheek. They're going to kiss a lot to make up for all the time lost, and he's eager for it.]
