[ she doesn't expect for soundwave to reach out and take her hand, but almost instinctively holds it back when she processes it. even if it doesn't look like much, it means a lot to have that sort of gesture from a friend. ]

Of course I don't mind. I would like that very much, actually. [ she manages a smile - it's small, but genuine. ]
Thank you, Soundwave. I'm very glad that we're friends.

[ it's still amazing that she's been able to befriend people from outside of her world that are so similar to her. ]
