[ He and Delta have been on the run for a few years now- long enough for him to get used to it, long enough for him to grow resigned that maybe it's just them, maybe things didn't turn out exactly like he'd wanted. They're still alive, though, and he tells himself that's something. That's something to look forward to. For the longest time, it is. It's just the two of them, just he and Delta and every so often they stop on a planet for a longer period of time, just to get around, meet some people.
Delta insists on it, anymore, after watching York fall into a depressive slump, and he insists on them stopping every so often, on York getting real, human contact, going out to dinner, doing something to take care of himself.
It's how they hear rumors of people passing through the outskirts of town-- purple armor. York takes note of it, has Delta check the radios and the comms once they're holed up in a hotel for the week, and after getting an idea of where they might be, he goes looking, hopeful. ]

Tonight, in particular, was one of the occasions where they had decided to split up to look for what opportunities they could find, having set a time and place to meet up later. Things always seemed to work out all right, one way or another. As long as they were safe from the Project, that was what mattered.
He was supposed to meet a contact about a job here, but something must have gone wrong, because the other party had never shown. As usual he'd gone to the precaution of staking out the bar where this meeting was supposed to take place and there was no sign of his contact's arrival. It was cause for disappointment, but he had a feeling one of these days they'd be caught in a setup through one of these and get turned in to the Project, so he felt an odd sort of relief, too. He shoulders his rifle and comes out of the building where he'd been holed up. Time to find somewhere to dally until it was time to meet South.]

Still worth checking out, though. There's a deal going down that he's curious about and York stakes it out, not believing his eyes when he sees the flash of purple armor. So he'd gotten out. He'd really gotten out.
Silently, York drops to the ground behind him, and lets the motion trackers pick him up, leveling the gun at him just in case it's not. ]
Man, you get invited to the lamest parties.
no subject
Yeah, the host didn't even bother to show. What are you doing here?
no subject
Probably 'cause the partygoers brought guns. Nooot the best party favors, y'know?
[ At the question, he shrugs one shoulder. ]
Heard a rumor that purple armor was runnin' around and I was more interested at who was inside it.

[ His own weapon lowers in response, and he tilts his head, amused. He knows what North's asking, and in some ways, it's freeing, not to have to say he's working with the Project anymore. Sure, it gets lonely out on the road sometimes, and he misses them, misses Freelancer, but still. ]
Just me and D looking for ourselves, don't worry.
no subject
no subject
Yeah, I can safely say I wouldn't want her mad at me.
[ A little wave of his fingers, a kind of come here motion, and Delta slides to life over his hand, watching them. ]
You still got Theta?
no subject
I just couldn't leave him behind. Woulda been cruel, you know?
[Even if it was the biggest point of contention between him and South. Theta hangs back, apprehensive, and North angles himself a little to glance back in his direction.]
It's okay, buddy, you remember York and Delta. They're friends.
[Theta nods; North's making a point of drawing him into the conversation seems to embolden him just enough to be comfortable speaking up.] Yeah...I remember.
no subject
[ York takes a few easy steps forward, the tension having leeched out of him as they stand there, and Delta brightens visibly at the sight of his brother. ]
Hello, Theta. It is good to see you again.
[ His attention shifts to North, next. ]
And you, Agent North Dakota.
dgfhjh AIs are so hard
I've got a couple hours before I'm supposed to meet South.
I know :(!
[ He's not sure where they're staying-- a car, maybe, since he and D did that more often than not. ]

[ York pings him the point so he knows where to go, and leans back, glancing at the exit. ]
And yeah, I mean, one of us might have to split a bed with someone else or the floor works, so it's not bad.
no subject
I just can't believe I'm talking to you right now. Works out, though. The job that just fell through was supposed to include accommodations. I mean, as much as a location to stake out in counts as accommodations.
no subject
York shrugs in one easy movement, heading for the door, trusting him to follow. One quick sweep of their motion trackers proves no one who isn't supposed to is following. ]
's that whole luck thing, huh.
no subject
You always put more stock in luck than I did. Always seemed to work out for you, somehow, though.
no subject
[ York gives him a grin from under his helmet, and trails on out, getting the location from Delta again and heading toward it. It's within walking distance, thankfully, though still a bit of a walk. ]
How's the nomad thing working out for you two?
no subject
In response to York's question, North shrugs.]
We manage to stay fed. And the Project hasn't found us yet. So I'd say it's a success.
no subject
Odd-jobs, huh?
no subject
Yeah. We try to keep it low-profile. No real mercenary jobs, you know? They'd track us down for sure that way.
no subject
Man, I haven't felt Del this happy in weeks, y'know? It's-- [ he hesitates a moment, nostalgic and regretful all at once. ] It's really good to see you again, man.
no subject
It's nice to be able to talk to one of my brothers. South doesn't like me very much.
[North smiles, slightly sheepish, at Theta's statement.]
I told you, Theta, she's just disappointed. She was supposed to have one of your brothers as a partner, too.
[York's slight hesitation is all North needs to know what sort of stuff he's remembering. He feels that feeling all the time, with his sister to keep out of trouble. The Project had been good for her, good for both of them. It was all so twisted up, the way they found out what was underneath. He nods, his expression becoming more sincere.]
Considering the circumstances last time I had any clue where you were? You wouldn't believe how relieved I was just to find out you are okay.
no subject
[ Ain't that the truth. York rolls his eyes out of sight of Theta and throws himself down onto the couch with a heavy sigh, tired beyond all reason, really. ]
Yeah, uh. Things are a lot better than before, so yay there. [ He gives North a dryly amused look, shrugging one broad shoulder in response. ] So- you and South. You left?
no subject
Yeah. Took some convincing on my part. She believed the bullshit they were saying about Tex. At first.
