Yes, that's obviously an excuse, considering we'd had to go into suspended animation to reduce fuel use--- Starscream!
[Jetfire had been looking away, frowning down at the floor on the puddle of slowly drying water he'd left there himself, and so didn't see the oncoming snowball. He'd partly also ignored it, since it'd registered as 'snow', and there was a lot of that drifting down from the sky.
But Jetfire had ignored one of the prime rules of dealing with Starscream (unless the situation was in your favour): you should never turn your attention from the Seeker.]
What--- Was that absolutely necessary?
[Of course, asking Starscream such a question isn't very useful... Jetfire twitches, brushing away snow, his optics, for a moment, overly bright before they dim to normal levels again.]
