-Do give the dragon a moment, he is currently looking all around and over this being, in pure fascination-

"...Light.. but alive-.. Ohhh, aren't you just something, special?"

-He thought aloud, in whispered awe.-

//My headcanon is that it depends on the color. Each color has it's own flavor.

Plus if you've ever put your tongue on a nine-volt DC plug, like one of the barrel ones, I'd imagine it'd give you the exact same sensation as that-

You're welcome!

Yooo nice!

This is actually really good!

+ Primes, and... Well, Orion continued a path of peace, D-16 spiraled into madness, Orion got the Matrix, aaaaaaaand that started a practically endless war on their planet. One I... have seen for myself-

And here you are, all happy, and Sentinel here is.. hopefully not a terrible guy-"

+ Cybertron. and BADLY.

Back to this Orion Pax, though-

He along with a friend of his, D-16, and two other bots, their boss and a new face they picked up at some point, went to the surface to try and find the Matrix. Big Misadventure, they got Transformation Cogs from one of the last remaining +

+ was caused by the disappearance of the Matrix of Leadership which was because that Sentinel was... I hate to be crass but a pompous, power-hungry prick-

He killed the other Primes and tried to take the Matrix for himself, and made a deal with the Quintess-- Essentially, he royally screwed over +

"Well, good to hear!

Now, let's see if I can at least summarize it a bit-.."

*the dragon would clear his throat and adjust his coat*

"Aaalright! You see this Orion Pax.. began life as a mining bot, working to extract Energon from within Cybertron, as the natural flowing stuff had run dry. This +

"Well, it's a long story, but- If you do really want to hear, then get seated!

I think you'll like this other version of you."

+ fingers and laughed.*

"I got you confused with.. a different Orion Pax!

Well, that sure does explain some details-

Sorry 'bout that!

Hahaha! Oh deary, deary me-"

+ brilliant golden yellow as he waved it about the metallic being before him.

Soon, he stopped and looked at what was apparently a small screen on the device, squinting at it for a moment before an expression of realization set in.*

"Ohhhh! We're from different universes!"

*He snapped his +

"With all due respect, Orion, if I even wanted to try anything, you could stop that by crushing me under your foot, and that's not the way I'd want to go."

*And so the dragon pulled out a small hand-held device and pointed it at the Cybertronian as he turned it on.

The end of the gadget glowed a +

"I was.. but-

No.. some details are different- Hold on!

...

Do you mind if I scan you at all? I have a sneaking suspicion about something and I juuuust want to see if I was right to think this-"

"Orion Pax.. Heh."

-He paused, like had more to say, but stopped himself.-

"Lovely to meet you too, Orion."

"Oh! Right, never did give my name-

You can call me... hmm.. You know what, I trust you with my real name, as opposed to my title-

Valoric! Valoric Alexander Starlight."

-He would bow lightly, keeping up this playful and cheerful behavior. Seemed he was a rather eccentric dragon.-

"They haven't gotten to it yet-

Scheduling's a pain on any planet it seems-"

-The dragon shrugged, and let out a small laugh, his tail swishing behind him-

"I could say the same about you!... Except I've seen a couple of Cybertronians before, and you certainly haven't seen a Dragonian before! Haha!

Lovely to meet you!

Even if it's a little... earlier than I'd have preferred-"
