[York's standing near the entrance to the Leverage Tower, hoping this is all just some kind of sick joke by the castle. But his gut tells him otherwise, that Parker really is gone.

He should really know better than to make friends, shouldn't he?]



Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.



Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she
Had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

Yeah, well...I think she liked it where she was, too. She has friends at home.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[suddenly thoughtful]

We all do. But we also have friends here.

[encryptedlock]

[He nods, not saying anything for a moment.]

I just...I hope she's okay. That's all. I want her to be happy there.

Gah lack of serious icons!

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[nods, seeming less childlike in her demeanor than usual, she looks up at him]

Edward hopes that too... but... wouldn't she also want you to be happy here?

aww

[encryptedlock]

Well.

[Yes. Yes, she would.]

Then why'd she leave me?

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

Disa-Disa sent her home... just like Disa-Disa brought us here... no one knows why... [shrugs, still looking very concerned at him]

[encryptedlock]

I know. I know. But it's taking away the people I care about and there's nothing I can do, and it pisses me off.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

But... not everyone, right? You still have Delta! And you have other friends too, right?

[encryptedlock]

[If the castle ever takes Delta away, York is going to shoot himself in the head.

But he's not going to tell that to Ed. Instead, Delta flashes on.]

Affirmative. I will remain with York as long as I am capable of doing so.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[Ed's never seen Delta the hologram before, so her eyes widen and she smiles at him]

Hi Delta! You take good care of York, okay?

[to York] See, you're not alone. You've got Delta and Edward!

[encryptedlock]

That is my primary function.

...Yeah, well. Don't you two go anywhere, okay?

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[smiles brightly at York] Edward won't! And you can hang out with Edward any time you feel sad! Okay?

[encryptedlock]

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

Thanks.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

Edward doesn't like seeing York so sad...

[encryptedlock]

Well, it's not like I like being sad.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeell... what makes you happy?

[encryptedlock]

[He pauses, trying not to respond bitterly with "my friends".]

...Being useful, I guess. Solving problems. Proving I'm better than everyone else.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.... [thinks for a second before grinning] Edward knows how you can do two of those!

[encryptedlock]

Yeah?

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

Yup! Come on! [grabs his arm and tugs]

[encryptedlock]

[He follows her, thought a little slowly. Hard to drag someone wearing armor that heavy.]
