I don't know how many people knew him, but it looks like Huey Emmerich went home.

[It was strange--five years ago, he remembered this situation had sent him into a near-total breakdown. Now, he just...quietly accepted it. Whether that was due to the fact that he wasn't quite the same now or the fact that he knew his father could come back somehow ( Read more... )

[... w-what? .... Well... at ... at least he'd come back for a little while... maybe he'd come back again. ... Heather hopes so. Both for Otacon's sake and because she'd been really fond of Huey, too...]

where are you?

Outside the Pokemon Center.

[Heather and Liquid were probably the only ones he'd really talk to in person--they already knew his history. There was nothing he'd have to explain to either of them anymore, as far as his family went.]

[That's good enough for her.]

[She doesn't reply. She doesn't need to. Not with Hal-- he probably already knows she's coming.]

[Needless to say, when she shows up, the first thing she'll be doing is wrapping her arms around him wordlessly. Not in that vigorous, playful way she'd pulled him into a bearhug when she'd first gotten into town, no... this was a different situation, and called for a different kind of embrace.]

.... M'sorry...

...it's okay. [He put an arm around her shoulders, managing a small smile.]

I can't really say I'm happy about it, but...it's okay.

[Hm... so it looks like leaving and arriving are based on the whims of this place.

Interesting.]

I am sorry for your loss.

It's alright. He left once before--for all I know he;ll wind up back here at some point.

[text] zero_approval September 24 2011, 08:19:22 UTC

Ah, he left before?

[text] vulpesvivus September 24 2011, 16:51:23 UTC

Yeah, a long time ago. It happens, I guess.

[Liquid and comfort were never two things that intersected, but for Hal, he would at least make a damned attempt at it.]

[He... hadn't always gotten along with Huey, but he hadn't been the worst person he'd ever known. Hell, he really didn't even rank in the worst fifty-percent. And he had been important to Hal, which by association made him kind of important to Liquid, too.]

Hal.

[He gave the engineer's shoulder a gentle squeeze.]

...I'm okay.

[Otacon wasn't sure if it hadn't sunk in yet, or if he'd just gotten colder over five years. Maybe he was just numb to things by now. But he'd still lean against Liquid and hug him.]
