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 nodded, not that it had helped him much. Getting to sleep was pretty easy, staying it longer than three hours was harder. "One of the more useful habits to pick up on."

"Too bad there's not an easier way to learn it," she said with a smile. "Regardless, if you ever need someone to talk you to sleep," she grinned. "You know where I am."

"As if you'd be able to think of something boring," he teased even if he appreciated the offer.

She smiled at the compliment. "Hey, I'm a spy. I could tell you about surveillance methods and have you sleeping like a baby in no time."

"We'll see," he said with a smirk, considering picking her up on the challenge.

"I'll be sure to have very boring illustrations," she said, trying to prevent a grin this time.

"I'm impressed already," he said with a laugh.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Impressed? You're supposed to be falling asleep!" she laughed.

"No one's ever tried to get me asleep with illustrations," he pointed out.

Aly's mind obviously took that the wrong way as she had to look away to keep from making a comment.

"Oh, I find I'm the first at a lot of things."

He belatedly realised how that may have sounded, but her reaction was definitely worth it. He grinned at her. "That's not a bad quality."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Never said it was," she grinned back.

He was still smiling as he grew quiet for a few seconds, watching her. "I'm glad you made it safely across the hall," he said.

"It was sweet of you to make sure I did," Aly replied. She nodded to him and started to turn to actually go inside her apartment. "Remember what I said."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I will," he assured her, making no move to head into his apartment until she closed the door.

Aly cocked an eyebrow at him when she realised what he was doing, but she shot him a grin as she softly closed the door behind her.

Grinning, Roy turned around and finally headed into his apartment. He closed the door with his foot and headed back towards the boxes on the ground.
