[Not unfamiliar with past mid-air roughhousing, Needlenose accepts the tap amiably, then bumps Tracks back with his wing. (Which, being bigger, probably bumps Tracks' main body and not Tracks' wing.)]
[Mock thoughtful tone:]
I don't know, Tracks, my schedule is really packed... [Blatantly not true, since Needlenose doesn't have a job assignment on the ship.]
[ Tracks wobbles a little with a small 'oof!' at the attempted return tap, but he's quick to recover with a laugh. He'll do another tap of his own at the joke, playfully huffing.
When he speaks, he's absolutely trying to be accusing, but the amusement absolutely ruins the effect. ] You are just as bad as Powerglide! Clearly I have to prevent you two from ever meeting.
[Needlenose accepts the second bump as the price of joking. :D He laughs.]
In that case, all you have to do is obtain a degree in quantum physics and reprogram the spacebridge into not swiping any Powerglides! Easily done, right?
[As much as their speed has dropped, they should be out from the R2 soon and fairly close to the hanger they took off from at the start of the test flight.]
[ He lands with his usual grace, making the switch from flight to ground modes look basically effortless as they coast in. From there it's an easy spin out of his alt mode, though perhaps showing off quite a bit less than he'd do around some others.
It is just Needlenose, after all. Which is a testament to how comfortable Tracks feels already.
He flashes Needlenose a grin, wings easily canting upwards ]. Again, thank you. I suppose I'll see you around sooner rather than later, then?
[Coming into the hanger behind him, Needlenose lands smoothly, swapping back into his root mode in a flurry of moving metal before straightening up on his feet.]
You're welcome. [He rubs the back of his head. The look on his face is cheerful too, reflecting Tracks' grin.] Hey, I appreciated the time out in an open space myself.
[As for seeing each other around:] You will. I'm sure. [A pause. Carrying on the past joke:] And if my schedule's open, we can go for another flight sometime.
