Soundwave thinks for a moment. "For the Embassy, for our home...I think the art which would be most appropriate would be that which showcases all the cultures that we come into contact with here, as well as our own, which of course we would provide. For our private quarters. Things that are just...aesthetically pleasing. Natural things, maybe. We do not have much 'nature' on Cybertron."
He looks down at Ravage and then over at Mantis. "You are not of course obliged to bring us presents. But if you would like to, those are the things we would find appealing, and useful. It seemed that you were confused as to what to bring someone who doesn't eat human food. And, as someone who also likes to make treats, I completely understand."
He looks off to one side, perhaps into his past.
"Once, my energon gel pastilles were famous throughout the Decepticon fleet. Ravage and I did not have much in the beginning of our life together, but as soon as we reached a point where we always had enough fuel that I could experiment with it, I would make treats. At first, because Ravage and the birds loved them, and they were easier to make at home than to afford. I found that making pretty little bites of things, with inclusions and icing, would bring me peace and settle my mind. So I became...quite good at it. I would make Ravage and the birds little treats every day, and I would send boxes to my people who did things that made me proud, and I would bring them to Lord Megatron's table. It is a little sad for me that you can't enjoy them, just as we can't enjoy the treats you make here. I also make fizzes for us to drink. I may be the commander of all the military personnel at the Embassy, but we're a small team, and I like to remind them that we are more like a family than anyone else."
Of course you want him here. And you should have him.
