There's a lot of stuff to get done with the Jaegers, and usually that means Chuck up manually working on them.

But you can't work all the time.

Chuck's sitting in a folding lawn chair by Tacit Ronin's feet, shaded from the overhead lights by her bulk. He's reading a Hardy Boys' mystery, having carefully cleaned his hands of grease, and finishing up a bologna sandwich.

This place is big, is the thing. Big and sprawling. If he wants to stay out of sight -- and he does, at least out of sight of two people in particular -- there's no way anybody could look for him everywhere.

That's more or less the line of thinking that's brought Edgar down here, with the makeshift pillowcase bag under one arm and the massive Thark sword, too big for the pillowcase, slung across his back. He's only been here once, but he remembers the way.

... At least the way down, that is. He hasn't got the first clue where to go now he's here.

Well, it's not Shephard. And judging by the way he's walking, slow and visibly uncertain of his direction, more wandering than walking ... it's not someone hugely familiar with the place.

He hasn't spotted Chuck yet.

From: [personal profile] hate_gettin_older
Edgar starts wildly at the sound of his name, and whips around to stare at the approaching figure.

The tension ebbs only slightly when he recognizes Chuck.

"... Hey. Yeah. Sorry, I ... you startled me."

His breath's slowing, his shoulders gradually coming down.

"Wh- yeah. It's ... it was a present. Long story."

A beat.

"'S there anyone else down here?"

Date: 2015-10-15 03:40 am (UTC)
hate_gettin_older: (this isn't good either)
From: [personal profile] hate_gettin_older
"No." That's a bit -- not sharp exactly, but heavy, falling with a dull thud.

And then, half apologetically: "Trying to stay out of someone's way, is what."

Edgar looks away. "Dunno."

He fidgets a little, one foot jittering up and down.

"I don't know either of em."

hate_gettin_older: (where would you be now)
From: [personal profile] hate_gettin_older
Edgar gives him a briefly blank look, before oh surfaces in his eyes.



"Maybe for a couple days?" he says, again a little abrupt. "Don't need a mattress, I've got a hammock."

"I'm good," he mumbles, and his shoulders tighten as though to suppress a shiver.

Date: 2015-10-16 03:43 am (UTC)
hate_gettin_older: (looking aside)
From: [personal profile] hate_gettin_older
He sees the hesitation, and sees the moment where Chuck decides not to ask.

"Thanks," he says, low, as he starts after him. It's as much for not asking as for the offer.

hate_gettin_older: (uncertain)
From: [personal profile] hate_gettin_older
"Sure," says Edgar, a bit at a loss. "I guess? How do those work?"

Date: 2015-10-16 04:07 am (UTC)
hate_gettin_older: (downcast)
From: [personal profile] hate_gettin_older
"Huh. Okay."

A beat.

"I've got sandwiches and stuff from the bar," he adds after a moment. "Don't have to ... share food. If you'd rather not."
