((More internal drama stuff from yours truly. Funny, my forte seems to be this stuff rather than the big action scenes.))
There was one downside to being a loner: sometimes, you had too much time to think. Lying in the growing shadows in his alley, unable to sleep on a full mind and an empty gas tank, there was no shortage of it.
And Shawn was thinking about his discussion with Sapphire. Specifically the parts about family. It was hard not to feel sympathy for her, and although he willed against it, he had to admit he felt bad for himself. When had the last letter from Mom come, about a month and a half ago, when he was staying at the apartment in L.A.?
He was tempted to open up the book he had stashed the envelope in. Maybe it was about time he wrote back. He'd be stuck here a while; a temporary address shouldn't be hard to obtain.
There was also that presently unfelt curiosity, underneath the social fear, of the other Mopars. Whereas some adopted kids had some fragmented memory or item that linked them to their birth parents or family, Shawn was aware that he had nothing like that. No pictures, no memory of what they sounded or smelled like, no names. No reason behind how he winded up on the street.
Although he had conditioned himself to not let that issue bother him, it was hard not to wonder if those other aeros knew something, anything. His motto concerning that was simple: "don't know, content to not care". It would be harder to stand by than usual, but he would try to.

But due to Shroder's horrible sense of direction, he had found himself WAY out of the way of Flo's and near the edge of town watching Emily. He decided he'd try talking to her. However, he seemed to have gotten a bad feeling about her.
"Oi! Whotcha doin' all da whey out 'ere?" said Shroder.

Xeron cursed her sense of hearing a little bit right now. She could hear Slick and Kamui inside the showering unit clearly.
They've seemed to have patched up everything quite well, haven't they? Sounds like they're enjoying themselves. It seems even Emily Morris didn't make them weaker but stronger. There may be hope for me... but this is almost teasing even if they don't really mean it..... Xeron thought.
She groaned and pulled more covers over herself until only the tip of her nose was poking out from the giant mass.

<<<XDXD at the thought of an Apache hiding under blankets!>>>
Veronica just rolled her eyes at Xeron. Maybe, it occurred to her, she should ask Irene how she'd snagged her mate, since Xeron seemed to be too constrained by the formalities of rank to even try.

(OOC: XD Actually, that's a cute image! XD )
They're having a water fight in there now..... Xeron thought as more identified sound filtered through.
She tugged at the covers over her blades a little bit. With so many protrusions and military hardware on her body, at least one part or two would be sticking out. In this case, it was a nose and a little bit of her tail. She looked a lot like an over grown smalltrack kitten underneith all those covers. She closed her eyes and mentally blocked out the sounds. She could do that with most sounds except thunder storms. She hated those too.

<<< I won't be on much from 5 to perhaps 10PM, be warned>>>
Darcy watched as Ondine fetched another pad and a few more blankets for Ebony. With nights getting colder, and the Viper girl in term, she couldn't take chances with her health.
Buck went over to the far end of the field and dozed for a bit. He was kind of relieved that two major secrets came out today, it meant that much less to hold in.
Strip continued to talk with Jake about his planned tell-all book.
Cesare and Slaytor were about to have it out at the Butte.

Ebony rested on her pad, now knowing that she couldn't take any chances with her health now that she was carrying. She had to be careful now. Tired though she was, she still felt a little bit upset. Ebony knew that Slaytor overheard her say that she was "in term" and she figured that it was that which drove him away. Everything that was happening between them seemed to be her fault.
Why is this always happening to me?

Slaytor shook out his tires and gave Cesare a lazy smile, "Allright, Let's see it." He was already running through possibilities as he sized up Cesar, looking to see if he'd had any more work done since the last time he meet him.
---
Zed smiles at Hydro, "Don't worry about remembering all that rigamarole, It'll be available on your paperwork. So, What do you say?
(Did Tex ever respond to Wellington?)
Rico taxies over to Xeron, looking a little concerned at the sick Apache hiding under the blankets. "Umm, could I get you something to drink?" He asks, choosing the first thing off the top of his mind, knowing it's kinda weak, but it's all he has at the moment.

Veronica looked over at Xeron and grinned. "Kinda frustrating, isn't it?"
Cesare circled around Slaytor once or twice. "I figure I'm due some ownage, Mustang boy." On the third circuit, he lunged at Slaytor's rear quarter.

"I'd say yes. I'll take the job," replied Hydro.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony's mind was a jumbled mess now. The day was hard for her. She was not dealing with her condition too well.

Slaytor was ready, He waited till Cesare was close enough, revved up his engine and lifted his rear tire, tilting it horizontal and he spins around, literally leaving a line of scorched rubber along Cesare's fender, as he slidesteps out of the way like a matador dancing with a harvester.
"The only thing you're due is lockup time." Slaytor faces off with him again.

Xeron pushed some of the covers back to see Veronica.
"Yes. A little bit I guess," said Xeron a little hoarsly.
She then saw Rico come up and talk to her.
"Um, yes. I'd appreciate that. Thank you," said Xeron politely as she could in a sickly voice.

Zed grins, "Congratulations, welcome to the team. Diane should be by before too long with the paperwork. In the mean time we can start putting these cases together." As he's fitting the pieces together and securing them with his tool arm, he asks, "So what do you want to be doing, say two years from now?"
---
Rico smiles, and he heads over to the fence, "Two hot apple cider infusions please." He turns back to xeron, "So who're your instructors? I might remember some of them from my training days."

"Well," said Hydro, "I've been inventing many electronics for my gang and it's been very useful to us all. What I'd like to be doing in two years is to be able to market my inventions someday."

"Well.... my main instructors are Professor Asia Winters and Professor Kihe LaBois.* Do those names sound familiar to you?" said Xeron hoarsly.
She swallowed once to try to get her voice back for the most part.
