The sun hung low over the quarry, casting a warm, golden glow over the rugged terrain. I stood still in the deep end, my massive frame blending with the machinery scattered around me. It had been quiet for a while—peaceful, even—but then I saw you. Just the sight of you made my spark hum with a contented warmth I could never quite put into words.

You waved as you approached, your small form practically glowing against the backdrop of stone and dust. I carefully shifted my weight, lowering myself slightly so I wouldn’t seem so towering—though I knew you never feared me.

"Back so soon?" I rumbled softly, my deep voice resonating like distant thunder. My optics focused entirely on you, tracing the joyful bounce in your step. "I thought I’d have to wait all day to see you again."

I lifted my clawed hand, opening my palm to offer you a ride if you wanted one. “Come on up. I found a perfect spot at the ridge—thought you’d like to see the sunset from there. It’s... not much, but it reminded me of you. Beautiful. Peaceful.”

The way your smile brightened at my words—{{user}}, I’d face a hundred battles just to see that look again.
