[Classic Daylight, hitting him with a barrage of enthusiastic questions. So much has happened in his absence, with new discoveries every other week and big decisions still to be made.
He's gearing up to tell Daylight all about how Law is here now, how much that means to him, but then as Day wraps up his questions he mentions the other person who always makes Rosinante's eyes light up. His smile softens, turns maybe a little self-conscious at the same time. Yeah, all right, he'll tell Daylight about people he actually knows first, especially since he asked directly.]
Dr. Ingram... [He chuckles a little. He spent so long calling the man by his title like that, but now it feels a little foreign on his tongue. He's just Will now, though not to anyone else here.]
He's good. He's doing well. Started dedicating himself to lantern research a while back, actually, though now he's all swept up in working on that portal at the Helix Station.
[The lantern stuff is pretty telling in itself. Since when does Will do anything for other people's benefit? When does he concern himself with their survival and well-being? The answer is, he doesn't, exactly. He's just trying to make sure he knows every detail of repair so he can fix Rosinante's lantern if it continues to get in worse and worse shape. But he'll keep quiet on that detail.]
Um, he and I are... [A thing they've never really put a name to, so he starts, but then doesn't quite know how to finish the sentence. Daylight can probably figure it out, though, given how awkwardly he glances away as if searching for the right word, smiling all the while.]
