[ Whirl is going to open his big metaphorical mouth until Ratchet does it first and surprises him by apologising of all things. Whirl's first instinct is to look over his shoulder to see if Ratchet is talking to someone else because that seems much more likely, his optic wide and bright. When he looks back his helm tilts awkwardly and it's clear that he's both confused and more than just a little unsure, claws clicking absently.]

Uh. Yeah. It's whatever. I stopped worrying about it when I had someone new to be angry at and turns out we've got an entire species to get slagged off at.

[Whirl waves a claw through the air as if to wave off the apology, made strangely uncomfortable by it an unsure what to do with that.

Besides, there's something more worrying.]

Which set 'a expertise are we talking about? Thought you didn't need me to put holes in someone?
