She thinks that this is the best way to handle things – it’s for Hercules, honestly. Gipsy thinks that separation from her is the best way to keep him safe, or at least as safe as possible. She knows how Striker can be, and he’s not like her – he won’t hurt his pilots. Not like she’s hurt Hercules.
It’s when his visits stop that she really and truly begins to grieve and rethink her life choices. Was pushing him away the best course of action? Of course it was.
Or was it?
She has this war and argument with herself often in the silence of her own mind. She has a lot of downtime these days – refusing to drift or practice with anyone infuriates the Marshal, but Gipsy doesn’t budge. She’s still trying to sort things out and putting a pilot in the middle of her mess isn’t the wisest course of action right now, and he knows that.
Damn sentient Jaegers.
The radio silence continues – on Gipsy’s end as well as Raleigh’s. It’s becoming clearer to her now that he probably isn’t going to be coming back. That hurts too, and it added on top of everything has a dull ache settling into her very core.
The longer Hercules stays away, the more Gipsy reevaluates.
Hesitantly, Gipsy reaches out in the most subtle way she knows how.
By blasting at obnoxiously high levels Player’s BABY COME BACK. It echoes through the entire Shatterdome, reverberating off the walls and making everyone’s teeth rattle in their heads.
Baby come back Any kind of fool could see There was something In everything about you
Baby come back You can blame it all on me I was wrong And I just can’t live without you--
And honestly, if that wasn’t bad enough, Gipsy has an entire slew of songs that she feels are appropriate to the situation, especially if Hercules doesn’t stop whatever he’s doing and come immediately. N*Sync is next, followed by Taylor Swift.
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you Been here all along so why can’t you see you belong with me~
…Which promptly segues into an angry—
I knew you were trouble when you walked in So Shame on me now--
