Commencing facepalm in 3, 2, 1. [Canon is Pacific Rim]

[gipsypilot]

You sure do have a type when it comes to the characters you decide to pick up, don't you? Is five lines of dialogue or less a requirement with you or something? I mean, you could have at least waited until you got your hands on the comic before shoving me into a journal. Patience is a virtue sometimes. And yes, I know that I am starting to sound like Pentecost, but you seem to inspire that kind of thing.

[ She's missed him, too. She felt it when he died; the emotional trauma from both himself and Raleigh is something that never, ever went away. It was like a double whammy -- feeling death from two different angles. It messes with a girls processor okay. ]

She did. [ Gipsy can concede to that - she liked Mako well enough. She just wasn't Yancy. There wasn't time to bond with her like she'd done with the boys.

There's a 'but' in her statement, though -- you know. She doesn't vocalize it. ]

[ He is sorry, Gipsy. He really is. They - he - should have never underestimated Knifehead. He knew better than to drop his guard around a kaiju until LOCCENT declared it dead and he could verify it with his own eyes. Failing to do so had cost him his life, and caused so much pain for his brother and Gipsy. ]

You didn't get jealous of another female having Raleigh's attention, did you?

[ Stop teasing the giant robot, Yancy. ]

[gipsy_danger]

[ She blames herself, too -- she should have made a suggestion, advised them, anything. She let other things override common sense and solid reasoning. She's as much to blame as anyone is. ]

Hardly.

[ Except okay maybe a little. ]

[gipsypilot]

Somehow I find that a little hard to believe. I seem to recall a certain Jaeger getting a bit huffy after we spent a couple of days visiting our sister, and dare I bring up Naomi?

[gipsy_danger]

[ . . . yancy why u do dis :c ]

I don't know what you mean.

[gipsypilot]

[ Because Raleigh is not the only brat in the family. :D ]

Your selective memory is working just as well as always, I see.

[gipsy_danger]

[ dammit yancy you are the elder ]

Blame it on a glitch in my processor.

[gipsypilot]

[ That doesn't mean much when you remember that he is also only 25. ]

Maybe we should get that looked at. We don't want to worry the kid and Mako now, do we?

[gipsy_danger]

[ boys. what is she going to do with you. ]

You are an incorrigible tease. Have I ever told you that?

[gipsypilot]

[ Love him and then get even the next time they Drift for non world saving purposes? ]

Now how did you come to that conclusion? I am most insulted by this claim, Miss Gipsy. You wound me.

[gipsy_danger]

[ how can she not love her crazy boys? you two just drive her nuts sometimes.

she'll never tell, but she enjoys them immensely, and their banter -- be it with her or with one another. ]

I'm sorry, Yancy. Did I bruise your ego?

[gipsypilot]

My ego, my pride as a man, my self confidence. All of them are ruined forever by your baseless accusation.

[ Look at this kicked puppy face, Gipsy. Look at what you did. ]

[gipsy_danger]

[ Oh yancy. ]

Your pride as a man -- what have I done? However can I make it up to you?

[gipsypilot]

[ Melodrama - he has it. ]

There is nothing you can do. You have forever doomed me to walk this Earth as a mere shadow of the man I once was. Raleigh will have to be the head of the family now.

[gipsy_danger]

[ okay, that make's Gipsy's laughter ring loud and true. ]

Yancy Becket, don't ever change.

[gipsypilot]

[ Yes! He has succeeded in making her laugh. It is a much, much better sound than the screaming he'd heard before the Drift had been severed, and eases some of the guilt he is carrying around. ]

I don't plan on it. Someone has to counter Raleigh's sass besides Mako and yourself.

[gipsy_danger]

[ Her screams, his screams, Raleigh's screams -- they're all a very vivid memory that's burned into her processor. So, it's nice to laugh -- and be around him. ]

He can be a handful, to be sure.
