Pacific Rim, of course.

[emptytheclip]

Yeah, you knew we'd be here eventually. Took you long enough, but maybe you're like me, huh? Bad at timing?

Comments

[ibelonghere]

And my mun once again thanks you for bringing the younger Becket around, she really appreciates it.

[emptytheclip]

I've been on the back burner for a while. All you did was move me forward a little, I think.

[ibelonghere]

Gave you a bit of a nudge was all.

[emptytheclip]

Seems like I need one of those from time to time.

[Pentecost, Mako, Yancy. All of them prodded him in the right direction at some point or other.]

[ibelonghere]

Apparently, it's something I'm good at. Giving people a nudge in the right direction.

[Or on occasion the wrong direction but, it happened. She's just happy to have him around is all.]

[emptytheclip]

You really think somebody having me in their head is the right direction? [There was a glitter in his eyes as he teased.]

[ibelonghere]

[Her lips part to reply, oh she knows he's teasing and can easily see it in his eyes but also touche Raleigh. Pulling her lips back into a thin line she just smiles.]

[emptytheclip]

[His smirk spread into a grin. Correct response.]

[ibelonghere]

Don't go getting cocky.

[emptytheclip]

I'm not cocky. [No, he'd learned that lesson.]

[ibelonghere]

Good. [It's said softly while she runs a hand through her hair.] Did you do anything? You know yesterday was.... [Yancy's birthday but, yeah she's not really sure she wants to touch that at the moment.]

[emptytheclip]

[He took a slow breath at the reminder and nodded.] Yeah. I lit a candle for him. It's... It's not much, but it's...

[He didn't even have a grave. There hadn't been the money. There hadn't been a body. So he lit a candle under Yancy's picture every year. A little message of remembrance.]

[derro]

I'll say, mate. Still, you're not gonna be alone. Tons of you about.

[emptytheclip]

Not surprising. [He shrugged.] Not sure how many of you there are around here, though. Ranger Hansen.

[derro]

One other. And someone's a bit behind the times.

[emptytheclip]

Not really. Just thought I'd be polite.

[derro]

[A snort.] Polite... Novel bloody concept.

[emptytheclip]

Yeah. Even this dog learns a few new tricks from time to time. [Had to be Mako's influence.]

[derro]

So if you hadn't drifted with Stacker's prodigy, what then?

[emptytheclip]

Not really sure. I think it might depend on you.

[derro]

Oh, yeah? Good to know.

Listen, I'm sorry about your brother, mate.

[emptytheclip]

[And that, well. That, he could accept.] So am I. Thanks.

[derro]

As much as Herc's a massive cunt for what he did... I couldn't lose him.

[A pause.]

And if you tell him I said that, you're dead.

Talk about surprise? XD

[dangersrighthand]

Hey bro.

Just a little!

[emptytheclip]

[And Raleigh's heart went into his throat.]

...Yancy...
