Second Injection. [video - backdated to the night of the 9th.]

I've been thinking about words.

[Hello, Route! Today, this nurse is blood- and static-free, and she's also tied her hair back in a loose ponytail. Seems she's quite comfortable. Her tone is more one of musing, than confusion, which is always a step-up in her book.]

Things can have a price, but they can also have a worth. And both of those are good things, generally, and reflect something's value. So why is it good when something is priceless, but not when it's worthless?

[Lisa shakes her head.]

I suppose it's not important. But--

[She's cut off by a sharp series of taps at her window behind her, and she turns to see...a Hoothoot. And frowns. That thing sure is staring at her pretty hard...]

Again? Maybe I shouldn't have fed it...

But you're the one choosing which words to use. You might choose 'cold' instead of 'frigid', without giving it a second thought. Wouldn't it be kind of neat to know why?

No.

Just saying words... using the language you speak. Nothing to it.

[Someone like Ratchet or Jazz would probably be more interested, and agree with poor Lisa. Unfortunately... she gets Ironhide.]

[It's a good thing that Lisa's not all set up to be knocked down, at the moment. She chuckles softly at his disinterest, brushing a few strands of blonde away from her face.]

What do you find interesting, then?

Weapons. War. Practical things.

[Well, that's a horse of a different color. Lisa is finally a bit subdued by Ironhide.]

I see. Though one could argue that those don't seem very practical at all... They cause pain.

It is not practical to use a weapon in defense of your charges? To fight to preserve your people? Comrades?

[The blonde takes a deep breath while she thinks.]

I guess if you have the ability and the cause, it's very sensible. But in some situations, it could also be avoided--by using those words that you find so boring.

[He grunts.]

I leave that to Prime. To Ratchet. But more often, in our war, words do nothing to delay the enemy.
