[ Raleigh comes out of the shower expecting Mako to still be in the room, so of course the first thing he wonders is where she went. He scolds himself for being ridiculous -- she's got a life, even here, she can go to breakfast alone, or maybe to meet one of the other engineers, or just wanted to check the command deck again. He's not super useful for the latter things and they don't need to know where the other is all the time. Still, he doesn't have anything planned for the day so now he has to figure out what to do alone. He's crossing back to the dresser to grab a clean jumpsuit when something on the table catches his eye. Mako's pulled a page from her sketchbook, and he leans in to see what it is.
Oh.
It takes him a minute to realize he's holding his breath, and lets it out in a long slow exhale, reaching for the paper. It's Yancy. And more than recognizing the person, he recognizes the moment she's drawn. Hey, kid. Don't get cocky. He can hear his brother's voice in his head, and Mako got his grin perfect, the look in his eyes. Yancy, his big brother, always looking out for him. Always calling him kiddo. The old man, despite them barely being three years apart. The responsible one, the grounded one. Raleigh wonders what Yancy would think of him now.
Quietly, Raleigh makes it over to the dresser and sets the sketch down for a moment to open the first aid kit and tear off a length of medical tape. He curls it into a loop, then carefully presses it to the back of the sketch, tacking it up on the wall above the Gipsy figurine. There. He should finish getting dressed now, but is probably still looking at it when Mako comes back. ]
