[ He takes a drag from his half-smoked stick and kills it on the rail before slipping it into the empty first pack that he keeps around to collect the butts in. It's a habit from his days as a cadet in Kodiak working on the proving grounds as a junior j-tech. Pilot or not, the instructors at the Jaeger Academy were hardasses who were particular about keeping them all in line You're free to smoke but your work stations are to be treated like your personal space, so if you shit in your space then what you are is disgusting.

He'd had a suspicion that she might have known something about the kid's disappearance, and when he walks over he reaches out to cup the back of her neck with the hand he didn't hold the cigarette with before he presses a kiss to her forehead.

She looks a little bit sick with guilt and worry. ]
I think that the kid needed space, and he wasn't going to get it here.

[ They are the hardest words he's ever had to say because Raleigh's older brother was his best friend and Yancy's gone, buried at the bottom of the Pacific because the ocean was too greedy to give his body back to them. ] I want to believe that he'll come back, but the chances of that are slim.

[ He notes then how she continues to pick at her nails and feels his heart go out to her. ] Hey, hey. [ He takes both of her hands in his. threads his fingers through hers and watches her face, his voice soft, gentle. ] None of that, gorgeous.

If you need to hold onto something, hold onto me instead.

[ He turns his head to rest his chin lightly in her hair. This way, she can't see the look that passes over his face, a hint of grief mixed with relief and a little bit of frustration that he pushes back and tries to keep under wraps.

( Raleigh, what the hell, kid, I thought we were family. )

His arms come around Alison's shoulders then, torso all but curling around her before he presses a kiss to her cheek. They're like that for a good long while, standing above the bustle of repairs, just holding on to each other.

It's been a rough week and he just really wants a do-over, not that it's actually possible, but that doesn't stop him from wishing that it were. ]

[ His arms tighten around her in a reassuring squeeze. He's kind of really glad she didn't call him. Because if she did, he'd've had to tell the Marshal. And that would have been a mess. ] You did what you needed to do.

[ There's a pause, before he adds: ] Babe, you did good. I would have had to report in if I'd known. [ There's a part of him that wants to go after the kid. To march straight up to Pentecost to demand why the search has been stopped does this mean that you know where he is, sir? Why are we letting a Ranger off on his own, what happened to 'leave no man behind'?

He presses his nose to her forehead. ]
Don't beat yourself up over it, 'kay?

[ They're j-techs, not pilots, and neither of them have ever set foot in the Drift, but Tendo knows Alison well enough to know where her mind is going, how the guilt and the worry manifest.

So when they pull back from the kiss, he catches her chin and leans his forehead to hers because he can't bring himself to say: Ali, sometimes, people leave because they have to, or they have no choice but to go because staying usually worse. ]
Try is good. Try is always good.

[ the statement actually takes him by surprise. because it's something the beckets used to say whenever they were just hanging out and having fun and he'd say something to make the two of them trade a look and all he could do was roll his eyes and say it's impolite to whisper in the presence of guests. ]

Love's easy. It's people who're complicated, really.
needmorecoffee: (》all the pretty lights)

[ damn right, he'd go after her if she pushed him away, because tendo's good at reading people if they mean enough for him to want to. and alison? she really means a whole lot. ]

Do you want me to come over tonight? [ he looks down just then, his arms still wrapped around her. because if she wants him to, he's there in a heartbeat. ( she's not the only one who needs someone to hold onto in an attempt to right the world again. ) ] How is this even an actual question? [ the words are light, joking. ]
needmorecoffee: (》the boss said no)

[ he gets it. and he's game to go however slow she wants.

tendo presses a kiss to her forehead, lingers a little, because holding her has always been very, very nice. ]
It's nice waking up beside you. [ it's a confession right back, and if you need to back up from that cliff, darling, all you need to do is hold his hand. he's got you. ]

[ he feels her sink into his arms and he follows suit in terms of relaxing. because he always takes his cue from her. he's got this one, odd favorite song ( recommended by one of his j-tech buddies based in hong kong who'd moved there after it was pretty clear that there wouldn't be a shatterdome set up in manila ) that went something to the effect of 'she's the heroine and i would love to be her leading man'. cheesy shit. you know, the kind that he likes. it's like that with alison sometimes. ]

Maybe you should. [ it's not a push, per se. just him testing the give. ]
