Well, I wondered when you would decide to let me see some more action. You've certainly been prolonging the inevitable.

[ She's smiling, her tone low and jovial and oh so very amused. ]

I'm just surprised it took seeing another jaeger to make this happen.

Hi, how are you.

[markthree]

[ She holds him tightly, like she's afraid to let him go. If she does, he may disappear - and she doesn't want that, not her pilot. ]

I'm certainly prettier, don't you think?

[markthree]

Yes. Yes, it certainly does.

[ But she is proud of you hardheaded assholes. You never give up - not even when it seems hopeless. ]

[markthree]

It is good to get out, I think.

In some ways, anyway. [ Her life isn't so great in other 'worlds'. ]

[markthree]

For...now.

Are you?

[markthree]

You'll help me?

[exhort]

You have to ask?

[ of course he will ]

[mark1bitch]

Surviving counts as "all right", doesn't it?

[ambidexter]

[ He laughs in soft bursts of air, a soundless thing. ]

The prettiest girl there is, and don't let anybody tell you different.

[ And if he sounds sad near the end there, well, she would know why. ]

[markthree]

[ She knows, and her smile softens, just a little, and she carefully touches his cheek with the pads of her fingers. ]

I won't.

[markthree]

I suppose so...

[markthree]

[ theeeeere we go. ]

I am well. How are you, Chuck Hansen?

[markthree]

[ Gipsy smiles broadly at him, pleased that he's accepting, that he's not freaking out and running away screaming.

Not...that he would, but. You never know. ]

I am glad that I have you, Raleigh Becket.

[ambidexter]

[ Raleigh wrinkles his nose and smiles, and softly puts her down. He misses this - being with someone that he knows, and is welcome to. ]

Striker been giving you any lip, then?

[markthree]

[ Gipsy settles on her feet, arms loose around him, not quite willing to completely release him. ]

No, not really. He's really rather charming, all things considered.

[duelbladedlady]

It is. Staying cooped up is not what any of us are meant for, though my own mun has not quite grasped that notion yet.

[exhort]

And I'm glad I've still got you.

[ he thought she was gone permanently for a little while there. ]
