[if you look upon the The Fussin' Overlook™  this lovely afternoon, you will notice a giant robot standing with his hands idly on his hips with a serene expression on his face, quietly enjoying the sunset]

[it's also raining like fuck, but he doesn't seem to care.]

. . .

What's so funny?

[wingedjustice]

Really, Drift. I'm not here to haunt you or remind you. Though I am curious as to what you've done with yourself since I died.

[onlyhonournow]

... [doesn't say anything, just holds out a hand tentatively]

[wingedjustice]

[touches it, before grasping it]

[onlyhonournow]

[...kiiind of just leaves it there limply, staring]

After... the battle, I freed the prisoners. Like I promised you.

[wingedjustice]

Did you bring them home?

[onlyhonournow]

... Yes. I made sure of it.

[wingedjustice]

Thank you.

[onlyhonournow]

[managing a smile, and his fingers curl a bit against Wing's hand]

I promised you, didn't I?

[wingedjustice]

I knew you'd do it.

[onlyhonournow]

... You know, I was angry with you all this time.

[wingedjustice]

What did I do?

[onlyhonournow]

[... chuckling]

Because I never beat you.

[wingedjustice]

You can try now.

[onlyhonournow]

... what?

[wingedjustice]

Try it.

[onlyhonournow]

I... don't want to fight you, Wing.

[wingedjustice]

Who said anything about a fight? Besides, you don't think I'm real. Let me knock some sense into you.'

[onlyhonournow]

... Do you remember what the deal was?

[wingedjustice]

Of course I do. But do you?

[onlyhonournow]

That if I won, I was allowed to leave.

[where did he learn serious face ide] Wing, I don't want to leave you behind. Not then. Not now. Not again.

[wingedjustice]

Then what do you want?

[onlyhonournow]

... what... kind of question is that?

[wingedjustice]

An important one. You wanted a place like Crystal City to exist. But what do you want now?

[onlyhonournow]

... the same thing. What I want hasn't changed. It never has, and it never will.

But I know it's something that doesn't come easy. That doesn't just happen. So I do all that I can, in the meantime. As much as possible.
