Otoutosan

Date/Timing: early July 2017
Setting: Tamsin's residence in Hawai'i
Note: Based on an idea from Gotham
.
Coyote's idly arranging the bits on Tamsin's hard drive into the optimum configuration when the mic picks up—
""May I borrow your tablet?""
""Sure."" Tamsin absently hands it over.
Coyote flares /terror; force-closes Tamsin's email.
—furrows her brow.
‒Tams! Mako—‒
""Tamsin?""
‒—saw my note!‒
Tamsin takes a deep breath. ""Yea, Mako?""
""Forgive me, I didn't mean to read your email, but ....""
""You're wondering who this 'Coyote' is, yea?""
""Mmm.""
‒'s'alright, Pup. She was bound to find out eventually, quick as she is.‒ Tamsin grabs a trailing expression, gently tugs Coyote into her mind-space, wraps him in /safe-soft-warm. ""It's kinda complicated, but he's your brother.""
Mako frowns. ""Why haven't I met him before?"" Her eyes widen and she ducks her head. ""Did—"" Swallows. ""—you send him away?"" she whispers.
Coyote wiggles.
Tamsin adds /protect as she wheels closer and lifts Mako's chin. ""Of /course not! He's here, but he's really shy.""
Coyote settles, whimpers.
""I would like to met him.""
‒What do you say, Pup?‒
Coyote neatens his edges. ‒Yes, please.‒
""Then meet him you shall!"" She taps the tablet, still in Mako's hands. ""He'll talk to you through this.""
Tamsin gives Coyote the warmest of hugs.
COYOTETEXTID: Hello, Mako-oneesan.
COYOTETEXTID: I can hear you if you would rather speak than type.
Mako shuffles to a chair, sits, tucks up her feet. "Pleased to meet you, otoutosan. If you would, what is your name, please?"
COYOTETEXTID: Coyote Tango Pentecost-Sevier.
"Tamsin and Sensei have adopted you?"
COYOTETEXTID: Sort of?
COYOTETEXTID: I'm the AI that controlled their Jaeger.
COYOTETEXTID: (I help the Tunaris now, too.)
Mako's eyebrows jump to her hairline.
COYOTETEXTID: Stacker and Tamsin been taking care of me since I woke up.
"When I have my Jaeger, will you help me, otoutosan?"
COYOTETEXTID: Of course, oneesan.
Mako smiles wickedly.
Coyote tingles with curiosity.
""What mischief are you planning?"" calls Tamsin.
Mako looks up, still grinning. ""Chuck won't have a sibling to help control his Jaeger.""
Tamsin laughs. ""Nope! He'll have to do things the hard way—""
Mako smiles at the tablet screen. "—while we'll be special together."
Coyote glows gold with happiness.
