The last thing Drift wants after that embarrassingly public showdown is for Megatron to follow him, but he'd suggested it, hadn't he? He regrets that a little bit. He doesn't change his pace in the slightest when Megatron catches up to him, and he doesn't turn to look at the Decepticon, either. He'd consider transforming and driving away if he hadn't gotten those citations from Rico in his first week.

"Yes, funny how that happens on an organic world," he bites back, and immediately regrets that, too, because he's only sniping because Megatron managed to rattle him enough. "I'm going back to my biome. To meditate."

As in you are not invited, Megatron.
