Aren: *Eventually someone /does/ spot OP. He was taking one of their horses over where he noted the other horses where kept and just kind of pauses at the sight of the strange and bright colored...metal person.* *blink* Hello...

OP: *had been focused elsewhere or he'd have shifted out of sight as Aren approached - flinches and turns...offers an almost sheepish grin and wave* Greetings. I'm sorry - with all the commotion and new people getting settled, I didn't want to disturb or scare anyone. My name is Optimus Prime.

Aren: *blinks again* ....Please forgive me, as I know this is incredibly rude, but...what /are/ you?

OP: *low chuckle* I don't think it's rude at all, not in this case, seeing as I'm unique to this world. I'm an Autobot, from a world called Cybertron. And...yes, I am alive. My form of life just doesn't work the same as organic life like yours. *not rude or anything, just matter-of-fact answering the question before it's asked, getting it out of the way - glances out at the rest of the company* Will you and yours be staying long? I saw another amin come back with Terris carrying a human. *"is everything all right?"*

Aren: I uh... *sorry, give him a moment, he's still not entirely sure he's not seeing things.* Few days.  One of our company was badly hurt.  He's been taken care of, and needs a few days to regain his strength.

OP: *frown of concern, glancing at the den* I'm sorry to hear about your friend. He's going to be all right, then? We have several healers here.

Aren: *nodnodnod* Yeah, he'll be fine, just needs rest... *he studies OP a long moment more, as though trying to decide if he's actually seeing what he's seeing...and he finally gives the bot a little smile* Why don't you come say hi?  No one should have to hide in their own home.

OP: Oh, I was just waiting for things to calm down. I know I'm unusual at best and frightening at worst. I didn't want to upset anyone.

Aren: *smiles and shrugs.* They'll be fine. You shouldn't have to hide back here for our sakes, though the thought is certainly appreciated.

OP: Thank you. *small grin* You'll introduce me then, Aren?

Aren: Of course. Let me get Rose, here, settled in really quick.

OP: Yes, of course.

Aren: *will get the horse settled and will turn to OP.* Shall we?

OP: *nods and will shift into view, standing by - towering over - Aren's side*

Kalan: ?!

Aren: *before anyone can say anything.* Hey guys, meet Optimus Prime. He lives here too, and it's just not right for him to have to hide for our sakes.

Kalan: I should say not. Well met, sir. *whoa...*

OP: Greetings, and thank you. The honor is mine. I know that my appearance is strange and alarming to people of this world, and I didn't want to scare anyone, so I thought I'd wait until you were all settled in.

Jendayi: Uncle Optimus is really wonderful.

Mitham: *will go stand by OP, supportive.*

Kalan: Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated, friend. Now that we know, though, please, come join us.

Terris: *approving smile as he watches everyone accept OP, even if a few still look rather awestruck.*
