Smut, Gen, Angst, Fluff, Anything, Everything. PFL era, Post war, Pre Canon, AU, whichever Brackets or Prose whatever you're comfortable with Tag and go, baby!
"Girls will love the broken bird thing I've got going on. Like a three-legged puppy." He grins and it's just on this edge of sharp, not unkind but not entirely harmless.
"You're a fair bit more dangerous than an injured bird. Unless it's an injured bird of prey. Believe me, I will be sporting a bruise or two myself." He throws a look York's way, not quite lifting his head to do so. "In fact, your situation is more of a warning sign, isn't it?"
"Gonna use me as a lesson to your little chicklets, drill sergeant?" The humor's a little more strained here, edging on wary. "I didn't sign on to be an after school special."
"I don't plan on having our lessons so close to one another, no. I just meant, people see your scars. They know you lost something very dear. Might make others think twice in approaching you for anything more than merely social."
"I'd like to think people would trust me to know my own damn mind about it. Yeah. I lost her. I lost both of them. But that doesn't mean I don't want or need to have people around outside my head." If anything it meant he needed them more. New people so he'd know they were his, they were here.
"God bless this dome." He salutes Mal with the last of his burger and finishes up his meal, sitting back with a contented sigh. Delta will be along to collect him in a bit but this- this was good. Nice. Natural.
"I can escort you to our resident psychiatrist's office and leave you to it? And I'll give you a tentative schedule of when I'd like to train. Evenings are fine, yes?" He can try to reshape this ranger into someone respectable again. Or he'll damn well try. His hopes aren't high that he'll get into a jaeger again, but they will try.
And the training begins. Away from prying eyes, as promised. Each day is a focus on a new style, a broad range, flexing York's comforts and adaptability. Sometimes with weapons--fencing had certainly been interesting--and usually without. Bruises. Also as promised. Sometimes patronizing, but he always tries to be respectful.
"I think we shall focus on your strengths in upcoming sessions," Malcolm declares at the end of one. "Hone in on what you're good at, make you better, see how you're doing about that blind spot when in your element."

"Still, we'll have more alone time rather than having lingering eyes. Mostly private lessons."
