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!))

He blinked as he looked up at her. "Who says I'm nervous about that?"

Aly raised an eyebrow at him. "You saying you weren't?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Not particularly," he said with a frown.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Hmmm, if you say so," she said, not quite believing him.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He caught up on that too. "It's been a while since I picked u pan alchemy book," he said.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Because there aren't State Alchemists any more?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

It surprised him that was the question she went for. "No. There's still plenty of alchemists around."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Why haven't you then?" she asked, looking at him thoughtfully.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"What use are they to me if I don't use alchemy anymore?" Roy asked.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Why don't you use alchemy?" she asked softly, getting to the heart of the matter.

"I believe you already asked that once and you didn't capture another piece," he pointed out as he moved his bishop again.

"There's no rule about asking a question again," Aly replied, sliding her rook out in return.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Are you saying my answer wasn't a good one?" he asked, moving a pawn.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"I'm saying I don't think you gave me the full answer," she said.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Ah," he didn't reply, and waited for her move before he captured her rook. "So do you own a miniskirt?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She stared at him and then laughed. "No, I don't."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Shame," he decided with a smirk.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Guess I'll have to break that law then," she replied.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"It's the state's duty to make sure everyone is capable of abiding the laws," Roy said, his smirk staying firmly in place.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Well, if you're making the law, you're the state," Aly pointed out, starting to grin. "You'd better remedy that."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"If you give me your size, I will," he said easily.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She laughed. "What type of question is that? Next thing you'll want to know my age and birth sign."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Twenty-three," he pointed out and shrugged. "Do you trust me to buy you one not knowing?"

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Well, now I'm interested in finding out if you can do it," she replied with grin.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't refuse a challenge like that," he assured her, looking way too confident about it.
