MCA #7 - After noon

[light_a_spark]

Having the day off, Roy was reading through a book on Earth weapons. His chess board was on the dining room table, set up already for a game that he intended to win. He would need his uniform to get cleaned after it got cake on it after all. For now, he was actually wearing slacks and a white shirt. He could do casual.

((Open for a certain delivery for now. Will open up for people to gawk later if they want. Open if you want to check out what all the moving around was!))

She eyed the game then captured his pawn quickly.

"So what makes you thinks Wade's cranky at you?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Just a general impression," he repeated, raising an eyebrow at her. He still wasn't sure how to classify his conversation with the mercenary. "I usually know when someone doesn't like me." Not that the feeling was entirely one-sided.

"I have to tell you something," she said, smiling at him.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Wade's pretty much batshit insane," Aly said. "It may be a surprise given his general demeanor, but it's true."

Roy considered Deadpool's behaviour at the wedding shower. "No, not exactly a surprise."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She threw him a wink. "Not a bad kind of insane though."

"Said the woman who was wearing cake. Again," he teased and moved his rook.

Aly frowned. "You're right. I'm going to kill him."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy laughed. "Should I ask for a statement now or later?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Oh! No need," she said with an innocent face. "You won't have any troubles at all."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Is that a promise?" he checked.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely," she told him, moving her knight into the center of the board.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

The move made him focus on the game again and he took a moment to consider what she was up to. He finally captured her rook with his knight. "And do you keep your promises?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She raised an eyebrow. "You're questioning my word?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You didn't give me your word," he argued. "You made a promise. There's a difference and one a spy probably keeps in mind."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Some could argue there is no difference," she pointed out.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Do you?" he asked curiously.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Not particularly," she said lightly.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy glanced up at her and nodded, but didn't ask any further and reached to drink from his glass instead.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She looked at him for permission then opened the box of chocolates to take one. "Yeah. I keep my promises." She grinned. "I doubt I could kill him anyway. He keeps me entertained."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You seem to keep each other entertained," Roy remarked. "Although I fear what will be happening next if you keep trying to outdo the other."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"All fun and games, General Mustang. All fun and games," she replied.

"Corporal," he corrected, shaking his head before deciding to move his bishop. "Don't forget the rest of that saying, miss Alianne."

"Until someone gets hurt? Not possible," she said lightly. "He has superpowers and I'm very agile."
