[video] now with extra dragon hugs

[Well, there's a face we haven't seen in a while. Shepard is holding the D-Terminal fairly close to her and looking rather grim, and not just her facial expression. Her hair badly needs a trim and a wash, there's dirt on her face and what's visible of her clothes, and she even appears to have lost weight.]

Commander Shepard reporting in.

[Her voice is the same strength as ever, though.]

Looks like randomly ditching me all the way across the damn island by myself is this place's idea of a joke, so I'm going to need an update. And preferably a check in from a few of you, just to make sure nobody's gotten themselves blown up while I was gone.

[This means you, heroic-type friends and boyfriend. There's a quick flash of purple at the bottom of the screen, and Shepard's expression shifts from solid irritation to a sort of rough affection.]

Stop nuzzling me, Cadet.

I've been looking everywhere for you, Commander!

[Shepard pauses before reaching down to pat her partner on the nose. She looks back at the screen.]

I should go.

No, he was fine. God he never stopped looking for you...

[He sighs before finally turning the camera's view to the pillow next to him, where a white and green striped egg sits]

[Neku looks flabbergasted, and for a moment the haunted look breaks a little.

Then Neku starts laughing. It's a reedy too loud sound and instead of squuezing out tears they are flowing freely. An hysteric sound

He knows, in his head, that she will be reborn. But who will she be? Will it even still be Terri? The grief and shock and relief at seeing Shepard (and hurtful memories, partly recalled to Cambell but still open and raw after he tore the scar off for the first time in years) and he just can't stop.]

[He takes awhile to calm down, rubbing his face frantically. It's... cathartic, in a way.]

N-no, thank god. I'd kill him. This... this IS Terriermon. They... turn into eggs when they-

[Neku looks horrified, turning the camera away]

I'm sorry Cadet she... she wouldn't retreat...

...yeah. I bet she'd like that. I'm sure she'll hatch soon...

Yeah. Just kinda recovering.

...am I being stupid? I know she's not really... *dead*, but...
scratchitti: (Walking away)

Maybe...

[He pauses, moving to let Monodramon in. After showing him where her egg is resting, Neku pauses, picking up the hair charm sitting next to it and clipping it onto his laynard, right next to his crest. It's a green and silver flower- the hair charm Renamon had given to her, and what she had been wearing in the castle]

Be gentle.

I know man, don't... beat yourself up over it too much, okay?
