(pacific rim) (regarding all the family reunions happening in d_m)

[dorothied]

You're wrong. I'm not - I would not dare to presume they'll be here as well. What would I tell them if they were? What could I? How could I find the words?

It would have been better if you hadn't put the idea in my head.

[ ....do dead people count?

Cause he's gonna stand here and sulk at her if not. ]

[dorothied]

[Family, dickhead. No, dead people count.]

Chuck.

[suicidemission]

[ fuck you the PPDC is as family as it gets :| ]

Mori.

[dorothied]

[You say that because you're used to family ties hurting, but that's not it.]

That's it?

[suicidemission]

It's all you gave me.

[ flat look. ]

[dorothied]

I said Chuck, not Hansen.

[suicidemission]

Mako.

[ nuance. ]

[dorothied]

Hello.

[It's all about nuance.]

[suicidemission]

[ He--

Doesn't know what to say. He should just go. There's no way this will end well and was not family anyway and it's a trivial fucking thing isn't it - who needs family? ]

[dorothied]

I don't know what to say either.

[suicidemission]

Sorry.

[ he's so good at communication. ]

[dorothied]

Me too.

[We're winning at this, Chuck, WINNING.]

[suicidemission]

About everything.

[dorothied]

I don't begrudge you for it.

[suicidemission]

Helped save the world at least.

[ there's that. maybe he will be remembered as something other than a fucking asshole. ]

[dorothied]

You'll go down in history.

[She'll make sure.]

[suicidemission]

[ He cracks a tiny smile. ]

That'd be nice.

[dorothied]

We'll use Max's picture.

[suicidemission]

[ He barks a laugh. ]

Good. Better'n my face.

[dorothied]

By heaps and bounds.

[suicidemission]

Heh.

Glad you made it, Mako.

[dorothied]

Thank you.

Really.

[suicidemission]

[ offering his hand. Truce, before he goes back to...not existing.

He's afraid. ]

[dorothied]

[Well.

Then.

She'll hold tight.]

[suicidemission]

[ His hand might be shaking a little. ]

Catch you later, yeah?
