Nightshade was working in the lab under the barn. They were failing their newest project so left in a huff. They needed to clear their head before they did anything further.
"Oh stars! I've been working all night! Mother and father will KILL me!"
Nightshade was horrified that they had been up all night. They slipped out of the barn to take a walk into the surrounding woods near the house. They were lost in thought as they thought about things to do to fix the project they were working on.
Nightshade sat down on a fallen log and looked at the sunrise coming up over the horizon and sighed softly. It was a beautiful morning even if they hadn't slept at all!

The trees and bushes rustled nearby as Skyfox approached the Malto's residence, pushing past a large branch to see the wooden structures hidden behind the trees. Suddenly, he seemed to faintly recognize it. "Oh! I think th-" The young protoform stopped as he noticed the green figure nearby. His immediate reaction was to hide, moving behind the brush. It was a reflex for him at this point, hiding anytime he saw someone. It took him a moment to remind himself of how his meeting with Clematis had gone, and that he didn't need to hide. But now, he began to second-guess himself.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
What if he didn't fit in?
What if they didn't like him?

Nightshade hear the rustling and someone trying to hide, and failing.
"Hello? It's alright. I won't hurt you."
Nightshade stood up and smiled warmly, trying to see who was there without frightening them further. It couldn't be a human as there were alarms on their property to alert them of human visitors so the Terrans and Bee could hide. As no one was comming them to tell them to run, Nightshade figured it had to be some sort of Cybertronian of some kind.
"You can come out. My name is Nightshade, what's yours?"
Nightshade sat back down and patted the log next to them. They were trying to be as friendly as possible.

The protoform let out a small sigh as the green figure noticed them. He supposed there was no point in hiding from it now. He nervously looked around before pushing the branch aside again, stepping forward and nervously holding one servo as the other introduced themselves.
...And there it went again. Just like before, the moment he was asked for his name, it seemed to slip away. "Uh... I dont know." The protoform replied as he watched 'Nightshade' patting the log beside them. He looked back up to the green figure, then back down to the log before coming forward and sitting down after a moment of hesitation, though noticeably less than the femme he had first met.

Nightshade had a soft look.
"It's alright. It took awhile for my siblings and I to know our names. Well... I knew immediately but Hashtag and Jawbreaker weren't sure how to say their names until our human brother and sister were able to voice it. Were you born by way of the Emberstone?"
Nightshade was excited. Another Terran! They were so excited for another sibling! Nightshade was excited to meet another Terran and that they, Hashtag, and Jawbreaker weren't the youngest anymore. This was so exciting! They would have to take it slow since this Terran looked extremely nervous.
"How did you come to be? My brother and sister, Mo and Robbie, had to be touching the Emberstone for myself and my siblings to be born. As I recall, the Emberstone was lost shortly after my sister, brother, and I were born. So you being here is both curious and exhilarating!"
Nightshade was so excited by a new sibling that they forgot their manners again.

The protoform raised a brow as Nightshade questioned them. "I think...?" He had recognized some of the names thrown at him, Hashtag and the Emberstone, from his earlier conversation with Clematis. Nightshade said that Hashtag was a sibling of theirs, and he learned earlier she was a Terran... so that must've meant Nightshade was one too! At first, the realization was exciting for him, but immediately turned sour as he realized they already had an alt mode.
The young protoform turned away with a disappointed expression. He had been expecting others that looked like he did. Instead, who he met only further solidified the fact that it was only him that lacked any unique style or appearance. That he was inadequate compared to everybody else. The young terran had been so focused on his own self-consciousness that he barely registered that Nightshade had still been speaking to him. "Oh, uhm, I dont know... I just, woke up in a cave." The protoform answered with a shrug, barely looking at the green Terran beside him.

Nightshade gently took the other's hand.
"Hey. I felt that. What's wrong?"
They had a soft smile, trying to be encouraging. They didn't want the other to feel like they were in the wrong for something. Nightshade wanted to make sure they hadn't done anything wrong and that the mech didn't feel like he should be alone.
"You don't have to be alone anymore. I'm your sibling... if you want me to be. And then there's the others too. We're a whole family. You can have that, be included and loved. You don't have to be alone anymore."
The green Terran suddenly hugged the other.
"Sorry if you aren't a huggy type of bot. I just want you to know you don't have to shoulder things alone anymore."
They stood up, smiling.
"If you want to have a home, you can come with me. You'll have shelter, safety, and family."

the young Terran looked over to their servos as Nightshade held his own. He furrowed his brow in a confused manner, optics darting up to meet Nightshade's own. His somber expression slowly began to fade as Nightshade spoke. The way they told him about it sounded so safe, and happy. And to hear that he could just as easily be apart of it...
He barely had time to think about it before he was suddenly grabbed by the other, optics widening as he raised his servos, startled by the sudden movement. But after a while, he realized nothing seemed to be wrong. So... What were they doing? "A what bot...?" He didn't understand what this was, but it felt happy. Or maybe that was just from the other Terran? All this time, he had felt sudden emotions and impulses, but they were so faint. And learning that the Terrans had an emotional bond made him think that perhaps he was connected to it also. But this seemed to confirm his theory. Here... up close, the feeling was so much stronger. After a moment, the Protoform's arms lowered hesitantly, before eventually returning the hug. He didn't know if this was what he was supposed to do, but it felt right. It felt happy.
When the green bot stood up, a smile was visible on the young Terrans faceplate as Nightshade told him their offer. After a moment, the Protoform stood up beside them.
"Okay."
