Huh, another familiar face. At least Cross was looking... well, better than he had the last time Roy had come in contact with him?

"Need more of that wine?" Roy asked, addressing Cross. "It'll be on me."

[thewarisover]

That makes Roy chuckle.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to sell you out."

[thewarisover]

"Red or white?"

He didn't even blink. Good booze was something Roy was willing to spend a whole lot on, especially if it meant having good (or at least interesting) company for the moment.

[thewarisover]

"A man after my own heart."

A gesture to one of the passing waiters for the list, and Roy's taking a moment out to study it before selecting the best one in the house. After that's done...

"How soon do you think you'll heal up?"

[thewarisover]

"That's good to hear."

A beat, as the waiter came around with the bottle. He ordered something else for himself, leaving Cross to enjoy all the wine if he cared to.

"Can't say I'm a fan of getting injured. Hospital stays are troublesome."

[thewarisover]

"Yes, I suppose I do give off that impression..."

Which was incredibly ironic, all things considered. Armstrong, Hawkeye, Havoc and all the others could vouch for that.

"Still, a vacation's a vacation, right?"

[thewarisover]

"It'll be back to the grind for me soon enough, though."

His tone was wry, but he didn't look particularly bothered. There were lots of things that required his attention, after all.

"So. How have you found Death City so far?"

[thewarisover]

"Best sort of hospitality, eh? Great locals too."

Admittedly, though, Roy had been surprised to see Cross Marian's name on the list of sign-ups for Arizona. The man suddenly coming around to volunteer as a trainer for the Watch had also been unexpected.
