I know what a bird is, but I'm more confused by my back half... The paws and tail especially. I'm definitely not just an oversized bird.

[He'll wait for Arcee to move before he lifts his head, finding himself rather wary of their reversed size difference. Now he's starting to understand why Ratchet had first voiced his concerned about them going squish underfoot so blatantly.

Quirking a brow up at the name she gives, he comments.]

Wow, now there's a name for a little girl's storybook.

Is anyone else we know here?

[Back half? As much as Arcee doesn't want to stare at Jack's backside, the cat in her screams curiosity. Lifting her head, she takes a peek and...wouldn't you know it, that's a giant cat butt. So...so this means she doesn't have to eat him? She can shake the urges easier this way? Hopefully? Oh, she hopes so.]

Huh...

[That's all she can say about that.]

Anyway, yeah, I know, real creative name. But considering the natives, definitely fitting.

[She stops when he asks who else is here. Jack didn't know about Optimus's self sacrifice, so it won't be as big as a surprise as it was for her. It still, however, makes her a little emotional just talking about it.]

And, well... Optimus is here.

[With Arcee lifting away to peer back over his folded wing to look at that lion half, Jack raises his head to clear his beak from the ground, but he doesn't stray far. Arcee could still reach his face if she stood on her back paws.]

Natives...? Wait, you don't mean ponies, do you? The miniature horses kind?

[What sort of girlish nightmare had he fallen into?

On a more positive note, it sounds like the most level-headed of the bots is also present, and that brings back his smile. He couldn't imagine how Ratchet would handle turning organic, small, and furry.]

That's great! ...well, for us at least.

You got it, and don't even think about calling them horses. Trust me.

[There's a difference, apparently.

Arcee wishes she could share Jack's enthusiasm, however Optimus's conditions are less than desired. It shows all over her face with the sudden frown.]

Yeah... about that. Optimus might not be as... prime as he was before.

I'll try to keep that in mind.

[Jack's expression sombers when he sees the change in Arcee, knowing something is quite wrong. His heart sinks at her words, and his voice is quite soft when he finds it again to ask what he fears.]

...how much does he remember?

[Arcee's surprised by his question, not fully understanding what he means at first. It takes her a second, but it finally connects and she does her best to be reassuring.]

Oh. No. He remembers everything. He's still the Optimus we know and love.

...Then again, remembering everything might be the problem. He...gets overwhelmed sometimes.

[With the Matrix no longer holding his emotions back, things have been rough for the former leader. Although Arcee thanks Primus every day that he has his memory intact, she can't help but wonder if he'd be better without them.]

...And then there's the whole cat scrap.

[Exhaling audibly, Jack is quite relieved to know they wouldn't have to repeat what had occurred previously. It had been frightening enough the first time around.

Nodding his head once, his expression changes again, this time taking on that serious look he got every so often. It isn't just the same with that beak in the way, but his eyes show it well enough.]

That's fine... Everything's going to be okay. I...I don't know what I am yet but I'll figure it out. And if I need to, I'll keep us safe.

[Even with the beak, Arcee knows a serious Jack face when she sees one. It's almost surreal just how, well, Jack-like he looks despite being so radically different. It was comforting, even at the new perspective.]

Jack, I'm small, not helpless.

[She understands what he's trying to say, and it means a lot that he'd protect her, but her pride wants her to keep fighting the good fight.]

I know that, Arcee, and I promise I won't forget it.

[The reverse had previously always been true for them, with him being the small creature. Of course, this time, Arcee has a set of claws, and knowing what some cats are capable of, he fears for whatever thing is stupid enough to pick a fight with Arcee as one.

Lowering his head back down, he offers her a small smile.]

Besides, right now, I'm having enough trouble just walking.

[He better not forget. If he does, she'll just have to make him remember.

Arcee gives another look at his legs, his...long, bird-like legs. It's true, they didn't look like something made for easy walking. ~~But they looked great for chewing.~~]

Trust me, I noticed. Looks like you're gonna need to practice.

[With a tiny huff from the nostrils of his beak, Jack concurs.]

A lot. And I'd be happy to start that practice, but I don't really know which way I should be heading.

[Arcee help, he's lost.]

[Oh dear, don't tell her he's hopeless already.]

Guess we're trudging over to Ponyville.

[Follow the little blue ball of fuzz, off she goes.]
