WHO: Drill Boy & McCrane
WHERE: Police HQ, main branch
WHEN: Current
WHAT: After somehow missing a chance to notice McCrane's return Drill Boy finally gets to see him.
WARNINGS: Possibly over cute robots?


Drill Boy made his way back to HQ, still feeling tired, and still feeling very sensitive about McCrane. He kept hoping to see him around somewhere, a post on the link, or something, but it seemed like there no reward for his patience.

"Boss, Gunmax, Kagerou, I'm back." He called out as he entered the building, his voice a bit listless. His only plan at the moment was to go sit down, put his head on his desk and hopefully distract himself. He wasn't sure why McCrane being gone impacted him so much, much more then not having either of the other Build Team members around, but it did.

"I'm just glad you're back." He wants to apologize for not being there, not protecting McCrane but he had been told to take Boss away. It was hard to know if he did the right thing or not.

"I hope you don't ever die again... it hurt to think about." Just like with Fae, he had clung to a desperate hope that it wasn't really the end... and he still wasn't sure what it really meant to die, but something in his Super A.I. sparked in a bad way when he thought of McCrane being dead.

We can probably end this here if you'd like

"Thank you, Drill Boy." It meant a lot, to know he was forgiven. Just having the other around had helped, so much, and this was no exception. Drill Boy had a way of looking at the world so optimistically that it was hard not to see it a little from his point of view, as well.

"You need not think on it again, then. I promise." And he intended to keep that promise, pulling Drill Boy in for yet another hug.

It was important, being here for them as they were here for him.

"Now, lets get back to work. I would be happy if you'd show me everything I missed, and we can go on patrol together today."

That works for me

"Thank you McCrane." He says, hugging him in return.

"Okay." He says, finally pulling away to start showing McCrane what he had done, looking forward to going on patrol with him.
