[There's a long moment of silence, where Megatron slowly, carefully cycles air through his vents. His hands are clenched into fists, his face is a tentatively controlled frown. One thing is certain: he's getting too damn old for this bullshit.]

[Somehow, he manages to retain a patient tone:]

You gave them away?

[daintylegs]

[Tailgate instantly switches to his last line of defense: Tears.]

I'm sorry! But they were asking for things to give the mercenaries and I didn't have anything valuable to give them! Please don't be mad, I just wanted to help.

[aminerproblem]

So you gave away my personal effects to mercenaries - organic mercenaries no less - to pawn off to some collector?

[Saving the whales doesn't seem too convincing a reason.]

[daintylegs]

They were the most valuable things I knew of.

And after tormenting that one whale, I figured I owed it to them to help them.
