Optimus looked down at Tucker and crouched, offering his other servo to him. “Want to come up, Tucker?”
Tucker hopped up, giving a little nod. Skylie gave him an encouraging look. “’ ‘S okay, Tucker~” she soothed….
Optimus slowly lifted his servo and joined it to his other so Tucker could be close. “There. Is this better?”
Skylie moved to Tucker, and hugged him. The boy nodded. “Thank you… So… Um… How’ve you been—Skylie, you’re choking me—lately?" Skylie let go of him, giggling a little.
"I have been well." He rubbed Skylie's back with his thumb digit. "Just missed my little sunshine."
