Ratchet scanned the girl's vitals and found that she had a spike in adrenaline and her pulse. he at first was worried but He noticed a slight smile on her face and decided it must be because she was somewhat excited at the proposition of meeting an alien lifeform. But then who wouldnt?
They arrived at an empty warehouse not that far from the girls house. He had activated his chameleon camo knowing the girl could not notice the difference. he pulled inside and opened the door for her His holoform appearing next to her to help her out. He had opened and closed the driver side door to give the appearance that He had gotten out of the vehicle.
"Now no matter what I promise you will not be harmed at all. But by meeting the alien you will also learn the real truth behind me. I have not lied to you, but I did not give you all the information either."

Annie took the aid in getting out of the slightly tall ambulance. She almost stumbled, though managed not to and she listened to him. At first, she was a little nervous about that, but that feeling she had, from the warmth, came back. She almost let out a soft, long suffering, sigh over that before nodding slightly. "All right. Let the truth be...seen so to speak," she responded with a light laugh.
The fact she could joke about being blind made her love it. She loved being blind actually. It was something that seemed to be...opening. It allowed her to "see" people for who they are instead of how they wanted to be seen. She shifted and waited patiently. She looked over at what she beleived the orgin of the voice to come from.
That was the only down-side to it, really. She often misplaced where people were.

Ratchet's holoform fizzled out as he prepped for the transformation. "There is going to be some racket but dont fret nothing is going to hurt you." He said, his voice now filling the room as it came from the radio. He transformed quickly, plates sliding here, plates sliding there, until Ratchet stood in full glory. He slowly advanced towards the girl.
"I told you my name was Ratch, and that I took place in a war. That is not a lie, just not a whole truth. My name is Ratchet, I am an autonomous Robotic Lifeform from a distant planet. I am a skilled medic, if i dont say so myself. What is your name?"

Annie jumped slightly when his voice filled the area and she shifted slightly. The sound of him transforming made her almost cover her ears and she looked entirely surprised. Well, more along the lines of shocked. She shifted a little and listened.
She heard him come forward, which almost made her step back, but she remembered his promise. Actually, that was what kept her in place, even though her hand tightened slightly around her cane. She tried to look up, but gave up when she realized that he was too tall and that would give her a crick in her neck. Of course, she was holding her neck at an uncomfortable angle that was uncomfortable and she smiled.
"I'm Annie Light. I atttend the local highschool and get good grades, if I do say so myself," she responded with a smile.
It was just really uncomfortable to hold her neck that way and she looked down normally to rub her neck. She rarely talked to people this....she had never talked to anyone this tall. She could guess he was more then ten above the ground.

Ratchet chuckled at her response. He could tell she was straining to 'look' at him and decided to drop to a knee so as to make it easier to speak to her.
"I will not harm you, but I need you to tell me more about this 'person' you met earlier that was like me." He did not see the need to inform her it might of been an evil robot, but since she was unharmed from that encounter, he hoped it was at least a friendly or a neutral.

Annie twitched lightly and crossed her arms a little, though the strap dug slightly into her underarm. She shifted and responded, "I beleive you, about not hurting me. It's hard, since you are....loud. Very loud. But...he was quiet. We walked near the lake. He was very curious," she responded with a shrug.
She hadn't thought he was odd...beyond being quiet. "We talked about sounds....and things like that. He let me "see" him. People are usually...iffy over letting me do that, since I barely touch them and I am afraid I'll poke their eyes out should I push too hard or something. It doesn't matter...does it? He was very nice," she responded with a shrug.
He was also entirely too curious, but that was beside the point.

Ratchet noticed the girl's discomfort and toned his voice down a few clicks. Obviously she was not harmed from the encounter which he was glad.
"I will allow you to 'see' me i have nothing to fear from it. You cannot hurt me." He crouched down and gently touched her hand letting her know he was close enough to for her.

Annie jumped in surprise as she felt the gentle tap against her hand. She turned slighltly and gently wrapped her hand around what had tapped her...kind of. She blinked a little, as if in surprise, and she twitched a little, more from the fact she was absorbing something new. She blinked a little and asked, very seriously, "How will I manage that? You are very tall...meaning your face is probably very big, not offense."
She was still holding onto his hand as she suddenly twitched and folded up her cane so she could hold it in one hand. Sometimes, she just loved being herself. Other days, she wanted to be normal.

"You are holding my thumb, if you step forward carefully you will be standing in my hand. I will lift you to my face. Dont worry I have careful hands." he told her. He gently picked her up and placed her close to his face.
"See your fine nothing to fear." he gently said. "Now just reach up with your free arm, My face is right infront of you."

Annie slowly moved onto his hand and managed to get her cane so it wouldn't obstruct her movements or her only free hand now. She clung to his thumb as she was lifted up, that stomach dropping feeling she got from elevators happening all over again.
She smiled a little and gently reached out with her spare hand. Careful, she began to trace along his face. She started out as high as she could reach and began to slowly trace down. She was careful and silent, though the way her eyes seemed to light up as she began to match sounds with Ratchet.
She smiled warmly at this, and still marvelled over the feeling of metal with the warmth of life. That was something that actually intrigued her the most. Her free hand slowly traced, fingers being careful as she "saw" Ratchet as she always "saw" them; through her tough and heart.

Ratchet watched a little amused as she traced the outline of his faceplate. she was very careful, no doubt not wanting to miss a single detail. When she reached his nose where most of his more sensitive sensors were, he gave a small grunt of amusement as her little hands tickled.

Annie jumped slightly and pulled away a little at the grunt before grinning a little. She smiled brightly and slowly reached forward, continuing on her travels along his face. She wanted to be careful, as she knew a lot of people were surprised by that, and she smiled a little before slowly having her fingers drift over what could be compared to lips.
She blinked and slowly went back to just holding onto his thumb. "You are very big...I guess I already knew that, but...still. Different to just guess and to...feel. May I sit?" she responded and beamed in his direction.

Ratchet chuckled. He wondered if the little girl was getting an accurate portrayal of what he looked like. She seemed completely comfortable with her handicap. most transformers couldnt go half an hour without their optics being online.
"Yes im big but there are still some other bots bigger than me. Yes you may sit, if you wish."

Annie gratefully sat down and folded up her cane before settling it on her lap. She shook her head a little. "I don't think I can truely understand size. I measure in how I feel around somone. Maybe your actual size has something to do with that, but...I've met people who feel big, but they aren't much taller then me, apparently. Big is presence, not size to me," she answered softly with a tiny shrug and she relaxed in his hand.
Her own hand dropped slightly and she began to trace, lightly, across Ratchet's much larger hand. "Of course, the fact your hand can hold me easily suggests you are probably going to scare people by your size alone. Probably a good thing I can't see. I might have freaked out otherwise. Well...I freaked out mentally, slightly, to be honest. I may greet the unknown everyday, but I'm allowed to panic privately. Not entirely, so don't worry Ratchet," she added softly, gently going back to tracing her hand along his hand.
She kind-of liked them, as odd as that sounded.
