Compared to Optimus, Sniper was tiny. He found himself crouching a bit when the Prime's shadow drew over him and the bigger mech leaned down. While Optimus was no Megatron, it seemed he was capable of being intimidating in a whole different manner. But while Sniper's body gave away cautious signals in the Prime's shadow, his face remained angry. There was a furious, tense grimace that danced about both his face plate and his snug field.
'Do not put my team at risk.'
"Don't tempt me," Sniper answered, more out of spite than anything. He wasn't in a position to make these kinds of threats. And while even Sniper himself knew this, he was way too angry to care. But the thing he wasn't beyond understanding was when Optimus said:
'We have too much to lose and you donot have the right to put my Autobots at risk or how can I ask them to put themselves at risk for you.'
Once again, his words managed to provoke certain memories in the spy's processor. For a moment, Sniper looked like he was about to counter these words somehow, but Blitzwarp's face in his memory wouldn't let him. Sniper was no stranger to risking a team - nor was he a stranger to loosing one, either. And he would not have another team's unfortunate fate on his shoulders. He was already carrying too much guilt and regret for his previous one.
'Is that clear?'
And so, Sniper yielded. But the expression he wore was a very obvious hint that he didn't do so willingly. His narrow optics were full of anger and spite as he said:
"…very," he muttered through the grimace he wore.
