Description: Politics weren’t Rodimus’ strong suit, but at least he hadn’t outright threatened one of the Federation emissaries. Geez, Jazz.
For Oldenoughtoknowbetter, who gave me the prompt.
Rodimus hated diplomatic functions.
He hated the smiling, and the handshaking, and the polite conversation, and the pretend interest, and the thinly veiled threats and the empty promises of good faith and cooperation. He hated attending these things, and only did so because it was required of him, because as the heir-apparent to Optimus Prime, he would have to be skilled at diplomacy.
Grimlock wasn’t so bad. Starscream either. The Decepticons were generally good for telling it like it was, and Starscream especially could be counted on for making a sarcastic comment about one of the other diplomats. Rodimus laughed, though he shouldn’t have, until Ultra Magnus inevitably arrived to drag him toward some other high muckity-muck demanding attention.
Usually, it was a Neutral.
