It's the first thing he hears once he's stabilized in the Drift even if the emotions behind it were already rolling around him and he snorts. That sounds familiar.
He's not about to argue that point.
Mako is theirs. She belongs with him and Gipsy. The handshake was strong, Mako made the third part of their triad and they were whole. It's something to fight for - but
she won't.
And it shakes him because it puts him directly against the idea that his own ideals aren't hers. That... his might not be right no matter how strong they feel or how sure he is that they are. But Mako... and Stacker...
Everything in him says 'fight'.
It is.
It growls out of him - but even as it does he opens his mind and pulls the memory - all of it - back out for Gipsy. Memories are clearer, easier to remember, more detailed in the Drift, but he doesn't think he was going to forget it too soon anyway. It's the 'stay' command on a hunting dog that can smell the chase. Stacker's wrong.
But how is he supposed to deal with a direct order from the Marshall that he knows he -they- have to obey.
