"Try to relax a little?" He didn't quite make the connection that the way Tsukishima was reacting was because of excitement, instead he mistook it for general nervousness and fear. Sighing softly he adds "I don't need to be bowed to..." Skyfire didn't think of himself as anyone special and was very uncomfortable with the way some people tried to bow and scrape around him when he first encountered humans. It was weird then and still weird now.

"It does help... sort of." He considered things a moment "Though not having it for this trip seems like a poor idea, I can't fault the one owning it in wanting a trade for their product. It just means we'll have to find something that you can use for the interim. It doesn't have to be anything too great, but I would feel better if you had some kind of protection."

Eying the room with a critical look, Skyfire offered a suggestion. "Shall we move this outside and see how well you can handle sitting on my back? I have a few ideas for some better temporary protection for you, but I need to think on it for a bit. We may as well try and figure out if you sitting on my back will work at all." Hopefully he didn't get motion sickness or something of the like.
