Library [Saturday Evening]

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

If anyone was to look in the right direction, they might have seen the lights on in the library. The door was unlocked and Thursday was inside. Friday was off safely in the BookWorld with the Bradshaws, both of whom had strict instructions about what to do if she didn't contact them by morning. That was one thing she didn't have to worry about, but it didn't stop her from occasionally glancing up from her reading to eye the door cautiously.

"I'm not nearly as bad as you," Roy argued immediately.

"Whether that's true or not, you should go to the clinic," she said. "You look worse than you did."

He paused, but knew he had her.

"It's true so if you think I should go, then you should as well."

"Think you're sneaky, don't you," Aly asked, amused.

"Doesn't have to be if it's working," he said with a small smirk. "Is it?"

"No," she said, paying no attention to the blood still dripping off her arm onto the carpet every so often.

"I could carry you," he offered, his eyes determined. "You need stitches and your excuse not to go is gone now."

Re: Later in the Evening - Ding Dong the Witch is...Gone

Aly frowned. "You are not carrying me."

"Good because I really don't know if I won't drop you halfway there and that would hurt," Roy replied, sounding as if she'd just agreed to go.

She shook her head. "Fine."

Re: Later in the Evening - Ding Dong the Witch is...Gone

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Good," he said, actually sounding relieved as he hadn't been looking forward to hurting her that much. "And that's the last time this season. You're maxed out now."

"I don't mind that idea too much," Aly agreed. "But then it's only fair for you too."

Re: Later in the Evening - Ding Dong the Witch is...Gone

"That was the deal," he nodded. "Am I going to have to escort you to the clinic?"

Re: Later in the Evening - Ding Dong the Witch is...Gone

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She chuckled though she tried not to. "I promise I'll go."

"No laughing," he chided softly, taking her at her word.

Re: Later in the Evening - Ding Dong the Witch is...Gone

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Yes, General," she said smiling at him.

He smiled back a little and reached up to touch her cheek. "See? Almost got you following orders," he whispered.

"Well, I'm a deputy now," she teased.

Re: Later in the Evening - Ding Dong the Witch is...Gone

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow. "Really? Is there a uniform?"

Re: Later in the Evening - Ding Dong the Witch is...Gone

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Nope, but I get a badge," Aly said. "Fraser promised."

Re: Later in the Evening - Ding Dong the Witch is...Gone

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy frowned. "Would have offered you a badge if that's what it takes."

Re: Later in the Evening - Ding Dong the Witch is...Gone

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She shook her head. "You already have me on retainer, remember?"

Re: Later in the Evening - Ding Dong the Witch is...Gone

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Retainers don't have to wear a uniform," Roy pointed out, because it was better to think of her in miniskirt than how she was looking right now.

"Please get to the clinic," he added quietly, despite her having already told him she would.

"Benton promised no uniform." she said. "That was a condition." She nodded. "I swear. You'll see me there."

"Shame," he teased before nodding seriously. "Good. I think I'm going to head there now," he decided, shifting his weight to his right leg more.
