They Are Arguing Over All Sorts Of Nonsense Just Cuz They Start To Feel Awkward And Embarrassed Talking

I adore adore the concept of characters who share/are asked to dance. I get a little obsessive with the idea of dancing between robots, so excuse this rabble of nonsense. But, the way Zeta has imaginably gotten on one knee for Sentinel to meet him at optic level is so tender. It shows a lot of care and need for the needs of his apprentice and like I had previously written my brain starts to play a whole little orchestra/symphony for them in this scene. I forgot that I originally wondered if Zeta would have lowered the volume/tone/sound of his voice for Sentie as well. But the timber of his voice may be lowered to make sure Sentinel feels respect, safe, gentle as treating a baby bird analogy. I love canary metaphors.

Zeta is so formal and respectful in his actions/pose as well, the pressed servo on his chest with a slight bowed position to Sentinel as he asks, "May I have this dance?" The openly handed over servo for Sentinel to rest his servo on if he so desires. And then how Zeta has his optics closed with a content smile; the gentle expression is very gorgeous and I love it tbh.

And the halo like effect behind his helmet? The little details in his armor, he is the starlight itself; maybe Sentinel is his galaxy (or was). Anyway, back to Sentinel's expression in the first image drawn, the palm of his servos fit so delicately and perfectly into Zeta's and the little curve he has too when placing it there, he probably enjoys knowing this is his right or at least he's allowed to have a Prime bend to his optic level, be so formal, step on one knee maybe for him. It's like they really have no height difference, they're both about to hit the wide open space of flooring and everyone will watch them dance like the world isn't there anymore.

Sentinel's smile is so so it's like how what I can recall, I compared the look on his face to be akin to one of a hatchling, in this case birds. Young avian's tend to imprint on the first thing they see, it's who they depend on, and believe whole heartily that is their whole world. It does show in his optics too, the smug little smile that spreads across his face. He's really cute tbh. It's devotion almost, maybe it's shared, maybe it's on different levels of it, but Zeta is treating Sentinel like how one treats a baby bird and Sentinel treats him like he's the whole world, the only thing he's ever gotten to experience/known, who's showed him what life can be.

NOW, the second image, oh how did i miss this before. But it looks like Sentinel has little, I don't want to say marks on his face (?), but it kinda looks like it, ignore me for this little footnote; I just wanted to have it down for myself by saying how they look sort of like the lines across Zeta's armor. Who knows really why Sentinel now has those post apprenticeship (his cape is gone by now) I have no real reason to overthink much, but I wanted to mention it for myself really (felt silly, if it isnt relevant, it isnt relevant)

I find it special that Zeta still tries to bend a little downward for Sentinel again, but it's...not to the same degree he did before and we don't know his expression either. We don't know what kind of expression he's making to Sentinel. He could be very well making the same type of face he did before or, it's a truer/better reflection of the current state of his relationship to Sentinel by now, who knows!

But, what I do notice is how Sentinel is standing there. He's probably off to the side, not wanting to be spotted or just wants to be ignored, left alone. Bby is literally holding a champagne flute glass of something in his servo and has the other one pressed to his sides. Like mentioned before, is it at his hip, is it clenched, is it hidden behind his back so Zeta can't even see the opportunity to take it? Who knows, idk for sure, but that servo is not being taken, he DOES not want to dance. And the way he stares too is so clear, he's got that look of immense disinterest, or I guess distrust. He's probably trying to figure out what Zeta wants/is doing right now asking for a dance like this again; he's not a a hatchling anymore, so easily persuaded by a dance or empty grand gestures

I do apologize if this wasn't as detailed as what I wrote before because I kinda forgot what I wrote 😭😭😭

But here another quote to make up for it:

⟡ "You coil so tightly from me that your digits dig into the palm of your servos until all that can be seen are the marks of your ire and the burning passion of what was. You even do it so tightly and bitterly that I can't help but wonder why? Why, you insist that we're at war. A war that surrounds a deep blue abyss. 'It's because,' you say, but I miss when you still looked at me like I was your whole world, and not a passing bundle of rotting metal at the bottom of the ocean. Oh, how the vision of when you used to stand by my side so proudly still lingers. Heaped to my spark and seared into my wires, my old memories still remain." ⟡

"Sometimes I miss you, adorned in my colour, smiling as if I'm all you've ever known"

Based on this Zeta design!!

In case anyone forgot, Sentinel was Zeta's apprentice! I made a little tweak to Sentinel pre-Primacy design. Thought it'd make more sense that he just had normal jet wings.
