( xii | ii ) i am laughing like jesus

[ambidexter]

[ HE JUST WANTS TO KNOW ]

no, sir
just wanted to ask if anything's changed

( xii | ii ) what does that sound like danzy

[heracleidae]

No change.
They took her back to her room early this morning.

[ Herc still hasn't slept. there's a beat before he sends another message. ]

I don't think he's in the city.

( xii | ii ) ...in hindsight that was not a very intelligent word choice on my part

[ambidexter]

that worries me too, sir
she won't deal well if he's left

[ He doesn't say that Alayne's lost her family, that would be hitting too close to home for the both of them. ]

( xii | ii ) still laughing about it tbh

[heracleidae]

Lucky she isn't alone, then.

[ it could be worse; she could not have met the PPDC, she could have no contacts left. Herc doesn't think about this in relation to himself, and what was left for him back in their own world, on purpose. ]

Re: ( xii | ii ) still laughing about it tbh

[ And Raleigh, he thinks about everyone for their sake. He thinks I'm sorry for every person who's lost someone, thinks thank you for every person who offers kindness, thinks no and yes for a lot of things that, in the end, he doesn't have any control over. There's always space in him for all of these — a bleeding heart that he often wants to wrap up in ice, but knows the dangers of it too well. ]

luck isn't going to take us too far, sir

( xii | ii )

[heracleidae]

Gets you farther than you'd think.

( xii | ii )

[ambidexter]

there's a reason they call it dumb luck, sir.

( xii | ii )

[heracleidae]

My first Jaeger was called Lucky Seven.
You don't need to tell me.

[ they all know how that ended.
well, they all know part of how that ended. ]

( xii | ii )

[ambidexter]

[ to this day raleigh still can't believe scott hansen ended up like that. what happened? ]

i'm sorry, sir.
shouldn't have gone there.

( xii | ii )

[heracleidae]

[ would you like to know. you and every other ranger that Herc won't breathe a word of it to. ]

No worries.

[ he doesn't expect you to remember the gritty details of his life ]

You should get some rest.

( xii | ii )

[ambidexter]

[ Some questions, some answers, that kind of thing — the life of rangers are varied and strange, and always depressing. ]

will try, sir.
never got rid of the insomnia since alaska.

( xii | ii )

[heracleidae]

Talk to Miss Mori.

[ Herc knows the feeling— the difference is that he can't rely on his boy for what he knows Raleigh can rely on Mako for. ]

( xii | ii )

[ambidexter]

we're getting there, sir.
meanwhile, i've got tea.

[ Behold - the incongruity of grown-ass men turning to fruit-flavored sleeping aids. But hey, it works. ]

( xii | ii )

[heracleidae]

Whatever works.

( xii | ii )

[ambidexter]

whatever works, yes sir.
