[Perceptor's been trying to keep his head down, metaphorically speaking, since (re)arriving. He works best these days when he can sit back and observe for a while before making his move.]

[Unfortunately, he is still lacking a lab, and there's really only so much observation the scientist can make before even he gets bored. Those who know him best may note a certain air of restlessness about him as he cues up the link.]

[To everyone else, he looks the same as always - stoic with a faint echo of cross.]

What supplies are in the greatest need?

[stop teasing him. it's not nice.]

[He might have timed this little announcement because you weren't there to hug him, Wing. One part punishment (for himself) and one part omg-why-did-I-just-say-that-I-have-to-go-now-goodbye-click.]

[In fact, Perceptor looks off to one side of the link, refusing optic-contact in his own way, as he shuffles and offers a nervous shrug.]

As you say.

[The mumble is unconvinced, at best.]

I should go. Thank you Wing.

[He reaches to click off the link.]

[Wing is a little afraid he's overstepped his bounds now, or touched a nerve he didn't know was there, judging by Perceptor's reaction. But the words are honest and nothing he intends to take back.]

[And because he's meddlesome he can't resist adding one last thing.]

I know Drift sees it too.

[He offers a slight smile.] Please be gentle with yourself. And take care out there.

[Perceptor hesitates, and outstretched.]

[Not so much that Wing has overstepped his bounds, as that Wing has voiced something which Perceptor is afraid to believe in.]

I will.
