{ Good. }

[ More so, that he's working with the others.
That they're making smart choices about it.
Regardless of who came up with it. ]

{ You won't need it to reach me, but it's good to have,
and it'll give you a way to reach everyone else here tied into him. }

[ Unlike cooks, sometimes the more minds that one can throw at a problem. ]

{ Do you two have a plan for testing that out? }

[overconfidently]

He said I might need to give it a boost when I'm actually there. Only way to see if it works is to give it a try once I'm on Solmara.

( Which he'll be sure to do the moment he's on the planet. )

[heartofthedream]

{ I'm sure you'll manage it. }

[ There isn't any doubt, or pressed upon hope, for those words.
It's utterly confident in his skills—the depth and breadth of his abilities.

The level of their range and the impossible intricacies that aren't for him.

(In a lot of ways, without the Techno-Organic Virus,
he's the one that comes closest to her strata.


Something she's thought about a lot lately.
What she is, and what it means for her children.) ]

{ If you need it, you can pull me in for a line to follow back to his. }

[overconfidently]

Are you that worried about me?

( A beat. )

About Scott? It... must be weird for you. To see him so... young.

[heartofthedream]

{ Of couse, I'll worry about you.
But not in the way you mean.
I always have.
Always will.

Especially when you're somewhere I can't reach. Or be.
It doesn't matter whether you need me or not.

That's not how that works. }

[ He's her son.
It's a given.

Like breathing.

(Maybe that's a bad example.) ]

{ And Scott...

Yes. It's weird.

Weirder than the other version of him. Who, at least, happened to be an adult.
But it's not entirely the first time something like that has happened to us either. }

[overconfidently]

( The other version. Just... how many versions of his father Scott Summers have there been? Is he going to meet them all at some point? He doesn't even know if he wants to, in all honesty. )

I just... I don't know. Wanted to get to know him. Maybe. But like this it's... weird. He's younger than me.
