[Monika's panicking, but Soundwave keeps a coolhead, listening in on the Maiden's demands. And honestly? The more he listens, the warmer the elevator has gotten.... But he knows it's just him. At the end of the demand, Soundwave slaps a hand on his mask and lets out an audible sigh.

Oh Primus, a painting is demanding them to have rough sex. Great. Cool. Still, he keeps his cool despite the looming threat of sex hanging above them in the immediate future. Sex- even rough sex -is nothing to be afraid of, but it is a problem when they're suddenly being demanded to do it while being watched by.... painting?!?!

Soundwave takes a glance at Monika's struggle, then stops her when she looks like she's about to hurt herself trying to break them.]

Monika, stop... I fear you may make things worse if you break them.

[Just... a feeling he gets.

Then, he turns back to the painting who he is so very displeased with.]

We won't be doing as you demand. However, perhaps we can reach a compromise. Perhaps... Something less intense.

[The Maiden simply laughs. "Nothing less than the most hardcore of sex!"

Soundwave closes his eyes, exhales, nudges Monika away from the buttons, and then delivers a punch to the button panel. Okay, that does absolutely nothing except it made his knuckles hurt. Ow.]
