[ OPEN ] Just like that Highschool Class about childcare.
Who| York, Delta, and YOU! (special guest star: egg)
What| Knocking around Legion World, carting about a mysterious egg.
Where| Observation Deck, Mess, Training Rooms
When| After THATH/OM/GOU
Warnings/Notes| N/A
(A) - Observation Deck
All this calm quiet is oppressive on occasion- too familiar to the absolute nothing that he can distantly recall with a chill down his spine when things are too still. Too dark. But after long days full of people and noise and life? When he's almost overworked and overstimulated, all but vibrating out of his skin? It's soothing. As long as he doesn't stare too much. Today between monitor duty and Flight Ring training and his own programs running around in the back of his mind he needs that quiet space. His most recent meeting with Dr. Ry'kerr's left him with a lot to think about and a small package he's been told to keep warm.
So.
Sitting in the middle of all this quiet with a handheld heater wrapped in a green scarf as he contemplates both the stars and the strange football sized egg now in his care. Delta perches on his shoulder, running through a few encryption puzzles.
(B) - Mess Hall
Vague countdowns with indefinite deadlines are the worst. Not knowing when or how this thing'll hatch is killing York- but not so much that he'll obsess with research too much. He carries both the wrapped egg and Delta to grab lunch, minding it with one hand while poking through a catalog of cybernetic eyes. Medical tech being what it is he could just get a new one grown or...something? He's not familiar enough and the idea gives him an odd sense of vertigo he thinks about it too hard. Something that'll let him see without trying to be his? That's easier to hold onto. D offers his two cents here and there between dissecting a platter of fruit for York's perusal, nudging his hand away from the things that are probably some kind of caustic.
(C) - Training Room
Delta's in charge of keeping the temperature even around the egg, sitting next to it, not on it, despite York's promising that the egg can probably take it and that it'd be damn cute. York focuses on range time. It's not entirely unlike the leaderboard drills for speed and accuracy at close, mid, and long range. He alternates between his charged, thrown marbles, handguns, shotguns, and a stun variant of a battle rifle that has the right weight and kick to it. Running these numbers against Delta's on board backups of his scores when he had both eyes and just comparing the two.
Gathering data, more or less. Trying to make up his mind.

He reaches to take another.
"Well all right. Is there a reason you don't just get one once it's hatched?"
no subject
It's the sort of faith he's learning to put in people that got him burned before. This time around, he figures it'll be alright.

"It's why he likes you." Taylor drawls, popping another bite of violently blue custard fruit into his mouth.

"And we have bedtime," contributes a voice from his shirt pocket, the screen of his communicator pulsing a dull glow magenta through the fabric in time with the syllables.
no subject
"Very smart, Theta. Schedules and Routine are good baselines for personal and mental health. Something I think Taylor needs more work on." Delta peers up at the communicator glowing in North's pocket, before asking. "Would you like a body of your own?"
An awkward beat. "Bud?"
Nicknames as an endearment is something York does and is apparently Standard Sibling Behavior. Delta is trying this out and it feels...odd.
no subject
" I dunno." He shifts a little, restless. "What's it like?"
no subject
Props his cheek on his hand and shuts up. Clearly this is something Delta and North have a better handle on than him.
no subject
North, still wordlessly, casually reaches over both of them to deposit one of his less favored fruits onto the pile on Taylor's plate.
no subject
"Got it. Keep D company, I'm gonna go grab the thing." He gives them both a quick salute, pops out from behind the table, and flight rings it back to his habitat.
no subject
"I guess we're still getting used to some things that really weren't possible, before," he comments, resting his chin on his palm.
Theta nods, still facing the direction York went, then glancing back at Delta, voice tinged with nervousness at the blatant reality of the two of them not within close range of one another. "How far apart do you get?"
no subject
"We have recovered from that blow but- learning to exist on my own like that? Made this easier. We both know that if we need to be integrated all we have to do? Is ask."
