Here, while she had her family there weren't enough Antheans here to fulfill the social needs of her species. So she started reaching out to others. Others in this case being transforming, sentient, mechanical... not robots but close enough.
It wasn't much to prepare for them to come. Due to their size they brought a few chairs out of the house. Tom and Aletayria's house was small, even by human standards. The greenhouse attached to it was probably bigger than the living space. And there were cats, a large number of them, all excited about the hubbub and the fact they could read from their alien companions that wanted visitors were coming. Some of the cats had wings, others were oddly colored... one was a raccoon, a part of the family due to a mistaken identity.
Tommy of course stayed inside reading and disinterested in everything though she assumed when their giant guests came they might get his attention. She and Tom had gone out on the porch to sit and sip tea while they waited. It would be good to have company even if they might not fit in the house.

She would not pressure either way but Tom taught her long ago that sometimes you have to just jump into things to bridge between species. That and she didn't think any harm would come to her from the interaction.
She places her hand on the fabric now wrapped around Ravage. {Keep it. It suits you and I can make more.}
Her attention comes back to Soundwave though her eyes divert briefly to Thomas. {The large group is why I would do it. He will come out when there are one or two but it takes effort for him to be in large groups. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't hide in my ship for most of the day.} She pauses and adds very quietly. {I also suspect that a birthing rite will remind him of his own children. He doesn't need to weather that alone. If she isn't here, I'm afraid he will try to.}
