[mikaela had definitely expected a big robot plush, or something, because she doesn't know what a capybara is and most certainly didn't think it would be an actual living thing. here she was ready to do some bedazzling and --]
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! [she yells, the moment her eyes process what she is seeing and her brain reacts.] Tailgate! What the fuck is that?! Oh, my god, I'm gonna puke!
[It's very unbothered by this. In fact, it seems to be chewing something, but it's not clear on what. It raises it's had to Tailgate, and he gives it a fond pat, which it accepts gracefully. If you look too closely, you can perfectly see its brain.]
This is Scourge the glass capybara! My partner and maybe someday conjunx brought it with him when he came here. I love him a lot (the capybara I mean) but I really don't like looking at its... squishy bits.
If you could like... hide all that? I'd super appreciate it.
[she jerks back, expecting it to shatter every time it moves, everytime tailgate goes near it but... it doesn't. it just keeps chewing and looks chill. mikaela puts a hand on her chest, taking a moment to calm herself down and force her brain to accept it's not going to explode in a shower of glass shards and gore at any moment.]
I-- yeah, I can do that. Congrats on the conjunx, if that's what I think it is. From context.
[it's very strange that he is cold, but... he seems okay and not in eternal pain? mikaela can work with this, she's seen worse when she's been on adventures with the autobots, she's sure.]
Aw, that's really nice. Do you have any designs or colours you don't like? I'll make sure it's soft for you.

Please give me a moment. I am going to vomit.

Don't worry, it gets easier the more you look at him.
It just would be better if we couldn't.

Feels weird... do you want me to put an Autobot brand on him?

[Scourge nuzzles her hand with its cold glass nose. Would you look at that, he likes her!]
He's been great for my anxiety actually. If everything starts to feel like too much, I just pet him a whole lot.
And if I stare at him for too long, the existential dread I feel totally trumps whatever anxiety I had before.
