Summary
The little ones have grown quickly. Hunkering down on his legs and snuffling at Slug’s side where his armor has rounded out in a bulge, Grimlock can scent him close to emergence. Beneath the damp loam and crushed leaves, his body is awash with the smell of burden, anxious energy, and need. It’s a new and heady thing, something he can almost taste on his tongue as he takes in deep the air around him.

“Blue, don’t touch that.” Sentinel’s voice is harsh, but it serves its purpose of making the hatchling jump, finally listening to him. “Away.
