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.

[striker_eureka]

As he damn well should be.

[He's jealous that other people will be taking her away from him but he's also upset by the idea that they might not think she's as cool as he does. Contradictions, thy name is Hercules.]

[markthree]

[ Oh, Hercules. See, this is part of why she adores you. You contradictory, ornery thing, you. ]

I think it is a good stunned.

[striker_eureka]

[He's very ornery, that's for certain.]

Good. I'd hate to have to have words with him.

[markthree]

[ it's endearing. ]

You don't have to do that.

[striker_eureka]

[It's a good things she feels that way, because some people don't happen to share her views.]

Not yet, anyway.

[markthree]

[ In this little world of theirs, she happens to think that her opinion trumps everyone elses okok ]

Hercules...

[striker_eureka]

What?

[He tries to look innocent, but even he can tell it's not working. So he quickly changes tactics and leans in to kiss the tip of her nose. Distractions!]

Don't give me that look, love.

[markthree]

[ It halfway works, she leans into it, at any rate. ]

Too late.

[striker_eureka]

[Better than nothing, at least.]

So you've met Raleigh, hm? Mako, too?

[markthree]

Both of them, yes.

[ Her lovely, beautiful, wonderfully flawed pilots. She sounds a little dreamy, come to think of it. ]

[striker_eureka]

[She does, and it's sweet, and Hercules is mature enough (he is!) that he can be happy for her without being (too) jealous.]

I bet they were thrilled to see you.

[markthree]

[ Her fingers gently pick at the material of his shirt, palms coming to rest on his shoulders. ]

Very. The feeling is mutual. [ So much so. She loves her pilots (albeit in a completely different way than she adores her Hercules) and seeing them so overjoyed to see her has put her in a mood. ]

[striker_eureka]

[His hands settle at her hips, giving her a little squeeze.]

You seem very happy to have seen them.

[markthree]

So happy.

[ She squeezes him in return, smiling as she moves to rest her head on his shoulder. ]

[striker_eureka]

[Since she apparently wants to snuggle, Herc lets his arms slide around her and cradle her close.]

Good. I like seeing you happy, you know that.

[markthree]

That is also mutual. You have a nice smile - you should use it more often.

[ She likes being close to him. She gets a lot of the whole...being tactile thing from him. ]
