Eastern Theatre, Eastern, Amestris - Evening

[light_a_spark]

It was just a normal evening. A general sent to Eastern to do some inspections of the Eastern troops usually ended up getting bored in his evenings. The theatre was only a few blocks away from his hotel and Roy had been visiting it most evenings now. Sometimes even going to the same movie. He hardly got this much free time when he was back in Central.

At least, that should be how it looked. Going regularly earlier had hopefully thrown off anyone who might be watching. He didn't know if Aly would be able to make it. It'd been weeks since he'd last seen her, but she had been fine. Even if he knew without a doubt, that her communications were only covering half of what she'd been doing and he couldn't help worry.

It'd been the right decision to make, he needed someone he could trust down here and the person he used to rely on for these missions was gone. Aly was good, he was just failing terribly splitting his mind between the boyfriend and the General who knew to put his trust into his men, no matter what the risk.

He needed to be that General tonight.

"Fine. I'll stop worrying," he chuckled softly, but it was a lie anyway.

"Of course you will," she pretended to believe him.

"You're mocking me," he sighed. "You have an entire movie to mock me."

Which was way too short and he wondered exactly how he was going to manage letting her walk away.

"I thought you missed me mocking you, baby," Aly teased, her voice too low to carry.

"I missed you," he said quietly, not even bothering to deny it.

"Me too," she murmured. It was stupid to ignore the fact.

It was, and he was having trouble remembering why it had been a good idea to pick the theatre as meeting spot.

"Fury's minding the cats," he murmured, because they had been missing her too and he was a rather big softie but she wasn't allowed to tell anyone.

"How'd you badger him into that?" she asked, amused by his comment.

"Brought the cats to the office," he said, smirking a little because it'd worked pretty much how he'd expected it to. "Havoc claims Ow destroyed his paperwork."

Aly snorted. "If he didn't leave it on the floor, it'd be safer."

"Like that would have stopped that cat," Roy chuckled.
