["Scared of me" is what he said. Slips of the tongue like that weren't often lies, not when the recovery was that smooth. Rodimus hadn't gotten this far in life by being dumb. Lucky, yes, but not dumb. But still, he kept his expression the same, popping a hip out as he adjusted his stance.]

No worries, Antlers. I'll be gentle with him. I'll see if maybe he wants to talk to you, but I'm not gonna push anyone to do something they don't want.

[Closest to Megatron, huh? The wording was sus. Rodimus had some recon to do about Antlers. He definitely didn't trust him.]
