((starting here))

True to her word, Gipsy waits.

Of course, she can't do much other than that -- she's fairly constrained by previous injuries, and though her arm has been reattached and repaired she still can't quite walk on her own. This, Gipsy makes abundantly clear in beeps and grumbles, but it's mostly ignored because there's nothing they can do about it quite yet. Progress is being made, but it's not nearly fast enough for her satisfaction.

It's why she's grumpy as hell when he comes the next day; beeps decidedly irritated and far too loud for someone that had been drifting solo with a jaeger the previous day.

You know I liked coming to see you even before you were a pretty girl, right? It's not just your avatar I'm interested in.

He felt that was important to say.

[gipsy_danger]

I know. But still...

She enjoyed his company and his voice. He was a comforting presence.

[striker_eureka]

He smiles and leans back into her arms again. Hey, if she wants to cuddle, he's going to take it.

You're pretty comforting to me too, Gipsy.

[gipsy_danger]

His words send another flood of happiness through her, and she holds him tightly against her, lips finding his temple.

So long as I am functioning, I will be here for you, Hercules. Never forget that.

[striker_eureka]

Thank you, darling.

He leans back against her for a few more moments before he sighs.

I should go.

[gipsy_danger]

Must you Her hold tightens on him, but loosens immediately. She knows that he needs to, but that doesn't mean she wants this to end.

[striker_eureka]

If I don't, I'm going to fall asleep in here, and that's going to be really bad.

He's already pushing it, really, Drifting with her as much as he is, even if they don't do anything physical and just frolic around in each other's heads. He should know better.

[gipsy_danger]

He should know better, and Gipsy sighs, then presses a little kiss to his temple.

Go. Take a day, and rest. I will be here when you are ready.

[striker_eureka]

He nods, and squeezes her hands where she has them around his waist.

I'll see you later, then.

[gipsy_danger]

The avatar disappears and he's booted from the system. As he starts to leave, Gipsy beeps -- once for yes, later.
