[Wheeljack waits for an extra few moments, until Donnie has come closer and Wheeljack can personally squint at Donnie's feet. Wheeljack still doesn't know the slightest thing about organics to confirm or deny whether Donnie's feet seem healed, so he can only take Donnie's word for it. Frustrating, and only adds to his feeling of helplessness. When had Donnie been hurt, that he hadn't known or been able to protect him?]

[He then summons the seat and sinks gratefully onto it, resting his head against wall behind him. He feels better than he did yesterday which had felt better than the day before etc etc but that didn't mean it wasn't exhausting right now. Not Ratchet had told him in a few days the sling around his doorwing could come off, but he wanted to be well enough to challenge Dreadwing now]

[Once he has rested even briefly, he leans forward again] It is... This is not why I originally sought you out just now, but... A thought occurs, Donnie. If it would not be imposing. I know Windshear sometimes comes here on his own to spend time with you, but I would like to formally ask you to watch over him for a few days. I have been asked to assist with a complicated matter, and... [A strange expression crosses his face] And I would be very appreciative if I knew he had somewhere safe to rest. Among friends.
