"RPD!! Are you!!" Hydra barely can manage a full sentence at the moment. He fans out his armor panels excitedly and points. "Jaeger!! You!!"

RPD laughed and nodded, crossing his arms over his chest plates. “Yep, Hydra. I’m a Jaeger again.” After a moment, he opened his arms and steadied himself for the incoming embrace.

"Oh f—!!" Still nearly getting knocked off his legs, RPD pay Hydra’s back a little bit and held him there for a short time. "I’m glad you do. I do as well."

Hydra thunks his head against RPD's a few times like a kiss, and then holds his hand up and goes off before coming back with his head and neck wrapped up in the scarf.

"I like this! Thank you," he claps his hands together and then looks at him. "Was there anything you wanted to do with your time as a Jaeger?"

There's a lot of stomping and over excited scuffling before Hydra manages to hug against RPD.

"I like being able to do this."

#rpdthebow

Hydra Corinthian's visor brightens and then he mimics a stretch, even though he doesn't really need to. He had been in quite a conservative mode to save power for the Shatterdome, even though the crew had said he didn't need to, they were fine since he was alive now. Hydra was overly worrisome though, and insisted on it.

But now he was up and just in time to miss the tail end of a holiday season. He sat down carefully and looked outside towards the morning sun.

Hopefully he wasn't missed too much, he hated making people worry or be upset.

Hydra! C'mon out! I got you something for Christmas!

"Hm?" Hydra is quite slow as he wakes up from an extended sleep. His joints don’t quite creak but he feels like he should be. His visor brightens and he looks around. "Christmas. That is the holiday with giving and the snow and the fat human!" He says and then rubs at his head. "I was in low power mode for a long time. I am sorry, RPD."

Hydra does his best to look embarrassed and then sits himself down on the Shatterdome floor. “Happy Christmas to you then, RPD!”

rpdthebow

RPD stepped onto Hydra’s hand and leaned into the rumble, “Yeah, I like it too. It’s why I haven’t gotten drunk this month.” He trailed off a little and rubbed his neck, “I’m glad I got to be here with you too, Hydra. Don’t let no Kaiju touch that scarf, or I’ll go down and kick their ass.” He chuckled a little bit before taking a step back.

"Aw, you don’t gotta worry about a gift. Just seein’ you happy is good enough for me."

hydra-corinthian

Hydra carefully drapes the scarf over one shoulder and then sits back up against the wall of the Shatterdome. "I'd like to sit with you for a little bit," he says.

"I promise more than that as a gift though... Perhaps if I'm around my presence can be a present?" Hydra snickers. "Did you see what I did there? That was a play on words." He's proud of his terrible pun.

"HEY! YOU! TALL FELLA! You Hydra Corinthian? If you are I got a Jaeger sized package from a friend of yours."

"I… yes! Hello, that is me!" Hydra pats at his chest twice. "Merry and Happy Christmas to you as well!"

"Don’t thank me. I just owed him a favour."

Inside the enormous container is an extremely large sword, designed for use by a Jaeger, with an ornately designed hilt carrying the P.P.D.C logo in the center.

hydra-corinthian

"Well I'm just being polite," Hydra says, though there's no malice or even annoyance in his vocals. He carefully hefts the sword into his hand. "It looks like I must learn swordsmanship!" he chuckles.

"Thank you, if you would like, I can tell the crew to give you some Hot Chocolate before you go. I heard they are making some up in the mess hall. Though I don't know if you drink it? It's an offer at least," Hydra says.

"Ah, cheers mate." He gestured to large package. "Couldn’t really find a label to go with it, so asked me to wish you, in these exact words, ‘A merry Christmas, Comrade."

hydra-corinthian

Hydra thinks for a moment and then feels a pang inside and nods. He knows exactly who, but he doesn't say anything else. He instead moves to open the package.

"Thank you for bringing this here, by the way," he nods.

"That’s alright. It might be completely silly…but…I know you liked soft things." RPD took a step back as the gift was revealed; a deep blue scarf with the PPDC logo on the ends of it. It even had his name along the side.

"Finding a Jaeger-sized scarf ain’t easy, by the way. Merry Christmas."

hydra-corinthian

Hydra looks about ready to cry, and he's not even sure how because he's a Jaeger. They don't have the ability to. He settles for making a nearly-distressed keening noise and hugs the scarf up against himself. "Oh RPD," he says, as softly as he can. He holds his hand down to RPD, motioning for him to hop on, if he would. When he does, Hydra holds him up close to his chest and lets out a deep rumble of happiness.

"This is a good holiday. I like it. I'm glad humans get to celebrate it without being under attack," he says. He takes a moment to search for the words and then nods. "I am glad I get to celebrate with you as well. I am going to get you a gift, I promise!"

"Yes, the fat guy called Santa." RPD snickered a little bit, "I couldn’t…really wrap it, but I tried my best with a bit of help from the fellas at the shipyard." He rubbed his neck, "Rather, they were piss-scared of me and did what I said. Heh. Anyway!"

The Licker walked over and pointed at a large shipping crate in the middle of the Shatterdome, “Don’t ask how I got it in here, just go on and open it. There are doors on each end.”

hydra-corinthian

"Oh?" Hydra looks at the gift and then frowns. "If it's a season for giving, from what I remember, I haven't gotten you anything. Yet." he reaches down and carefully pokes open the doors on each end, pushing them aside so he can open his gift.

He's probably already planning on what to get RPD too.

"I love you too," he murmured, leaning forwards to butt helms gently, slanted green optics soft.

He looked up and stepped away with a small cough as the jackal-headed Warmachine stepped up, tall and imposing. “Hydra, this is my brother, Anubis.” A smaller feline mecha joined them, her legs oddly Z-shaped. “And my sister, Tefnut.”

Anubis gave the Jaeger a sharp salute, his sleek black plating glinting under the sun. Tefnut waggled the clawed fingers of one hand and hopped up and down on her strange legs, clearly excited. Like the Sobek, their slanted optics were a brilliant shade of yellow-green, and Anubis shared the ability to open and close a muzzle-shaped jaw. Steam curled from his jaws, the same as his smaller brother.

hydra-corinthian

"It is nice to meet you, Anubis, Tefnut," Hydra bows his head and then offers a salute as well, both forms of respect. "I hope Sobek has spoken of me in a kind manner," He searches his memories and only finds a few snippits of them from when he Drifted with the Sobek.

"I... I am so happy you're happy," Hydra whispers to Sobek and gives him one more quick little hug.

"Hydra? Hydra!" The Sobek was locked in the hold of a larger, jackal-like Warmachine as he spotted Hydra - he grabbed his brother’s waist in his claws and flipped him over onto his head in the sand before charging towards the Jaeger, bellowing excitedly.

A few unfamiliar Warmachines neatly dodged as the Sobek skidded to a halt, flinging up great plumes of sand before he bounced around Hydra excitedly. “I… I missed you!” He was no longer reserved or quiet, but practically radiating happiness as he scooped Hydra up in his arms, squeezing gently.

hydra-corinthian

Hydra lets out a delighted noise and a rev of his engines in response, clinging to Sobek in a tight hug. He nuzzles him and then looks over at the others. He realizes he's holding onto the Sobek and off the ground, clinging to him almost like an excitable child. He doesn't feel the least bit embarrassed though.

"I missed you too, and my love did not lessen for you. You know how the human saying goes... Absence makes the heart grow fonder," He says softly and nuzzles him. "You must introduce me to your friends! I wish to meet them!" he carefully reaches one leg down and gets it to the ground to drop himself with a thud. He wobbles a bit and steadies himself, then nods as he makes sure he's not going to fall over.

Jenna clicked her tongue and all the SARAIbeasts scampered, rushing out the doors of the hangar in a tidal wave of excitement. Abigail just laughed and nudged her forehead to Hydra’s foot plating in an affectionate gesture before stepping back, sliding an arm around Jenna’s waist.

"They’re all outside. Or most of ‘em, anyway." Jenna jerked her head towards the entryway. "Tusslin’ around on the beach. Just try and avoid Sleipnir - old eight-legs rattles on for aaaaaaaaages.”

hydra-corinthian

"Why would I want to avoid them? I want to meet them!" Hydra makes a delighted noise, halfway between a chirr and a click, and then hurries outside, excitedly jogging his way to the beach. He spots the Sobek first, because well, Sobek. That's who matters the most in his mind. Then he sees the other.

"SOBEK!!" Hydra cries out happily as he runs over.

Abigail and Jenna exchanged a look, and there was silence for a long moment, broken only by the soft squeaking coming from the numerous tiny SARAIbeasts. The one in Hydra’s hand wiggles its hindquarters, pouncing at his finger playfully and tumbling over.

"Well…" Jenna finally managed. "There was a… uhhh… mishap with the portals, and something happened. The best Ananyiv could describe it was ‘alternate’…" She scratched her hair, face scrunching up in a frown.

"Basically, an alternate version of our timeline," Abigail said in a clearer voice, patting Hydra’s foot. "In Jenna’s timeline, I’m dead. But in mine, I’m not… It’s a bit complex to get our heads around. But we’re all together again! And Sobee’s happy to see the other Warmachines, at least." She chuckled. "We’re running out of room to put all our Tents, though. And we’re having to keep Virtion indoors so he doesn’t run around hitting on all the Jaegers."

hydra-corinthian

"Oh. Well I've learned it's best to not ask questions if it is too complicated for others to explain. I'm sure I'll find out as time goes on," Hydra offers a smile in the form of flared paneling on his helm.

"If Sobek is happy, then that makes me happy. I want to meet everyone!!" He exclaims, looking as excited as possible. He's almost shaking even. "B-But first I want to see happy Sobek."

"That oversized bathtoy?" A dark-skinned woman with a bandage wrapped around her head hobbled down from a nearby walkway, her deep Manchester accent grating. "He was rolling around in the mud with Boo and Nutty last time I saw ‘im."

"Hydra, this is Abigail Turnpike." Jenna beamed proudly. "She drives one of the other Egyptian Warmachines, Anubis."

"Just Abs is fine." The Englishwoman twisted a finger inside one ear and squinted up at the Jaeger. "You’re even more adorable close-up."

hydra-corinthian

"Bath toy?" Hydra repeats softly as he nudges the tiny creature on his palm with his finger. He's very gentle and he looks almost delighted as he watches it wiggle around.

"It is nice to meet you, Miss Abigail Turnpike," Hydra nods his head. He pauses, going over information in his head. "I thought... Those Warmachines were no longer around?" He remembers very clearly how upset Sobek was about it and how he just wanted to hold him.

#thesobekproject

"Thas good!" Jenna plucked the tiny creature from her hair and bounced it up and down in her hand, grinning when it clung on and squeaked. "These are miniature SARAIbeasts. One of the SARAI defected to our side, and… These are her babies, I guess? A lot’s happened!"

She set her hand down on the ground and the tiny critter scampered over to Hydra, chirping away excitedly.

hydra-corinthian

"Huh," Hydra holds his hand steady and looks at the little creature. "I would like to meet it one day. Her, rather. I am sorry I was not around to see all that happened," he says. His visor brightens and dims in the form of a blink. "What has happened, exactly? Is Sobek ok?"

#thesobekproject

thesobekproject replied to your post: "Mornin', Hydra!" A rather grubby-looking Jenna waves as she jogs past, pursued by a number of tiny robot... things. "How's it goin', hon?"

The driver stood still and laughed, arms held up as the tiny robots swarmed over her. “Everything’s - hee - swell, as you can see!” She giggled as one clambered into her hair. “How’s things with you, big guy?”

Hydra looks upset before he realizes the tiny robots aren't anything dangerous. He crouches down, visor brightening as he looks at her.

"I can see now. I am doing wonderfully today, and it seems you are as well," he points, looking confused, "What are those?"
