"It's hard to think of myself as virtuous," Soundwave says, both in audible word and in thought, "after some of the things I've done wrong. But coming from you, Aletayria, that means a lot."
Then he smiles, because Ravage and Aletayria are cuddled up close, and Ravage is also tucked up under his arm, and Ravage is enjoying all the cuddles she's getting. He pauses and starts to drop a kiss on Ravage's forehead, but then decides in favour of just kissing her--lightly, because they're in a public place, but kissing her is hard to resist. He's only blushing a little.
Then again, if he weren't afraid that Tom would misunderstand it, he might kiss Aletayria's cheek or forehead as well. He's missed this...whatever it actually is. Emotional intimacy, maybe, with another couple who understands their bond because they have one of their own.
"Your cousin and I," he tells Tom and Aletayria (again, both mentally and out loud), "may be closer to being kindred souls than you know." His hand on Tom's shoulder is light, because the human is fragile, but he knows the emotions and thoughts are easier to share with touch.
{Sometimes,} Ravage thinks out loud, {distance is just vulnerability.}
She does rather want to kiss Aletayria, in a sisterly way. Sometimes Ravage misses the bad old days of the Conclave. Not all the sex, not now that she knows how uncomfortable Soundwave sometimes was with it, but the physical and emotional closeness.
