Characters: Roy and Aerith Location: DOGS office, then around the city Rating: G Time: December 30, during lunch and maybe a little after Description: She did bring up ice cream...
Aerith glanced up from her work, she had currently been going over some forms and checking the DEMISE network for updates, when Roy leaned in against the wood of the door frame. A smile lit up her face at the sight of his smile as she leaned back a bit in her chair.
"I can always make time for you, Roy," she said pleasantly, winking. "What can I do for you?"
"Well, a good friend of mine did mention that eating ice cream in cold weather is supposed to be fun. I was wondering if I could rope someone into trying it out with me."
And Aerith took it with a happy giggle, rising from her chair with overly emphasized dainty grace.
A few more seconds later, and they were out the door, into the cold. The temperature never did bother her when she had good company, though. And Roy was always good company.
It felt nice, being able to spend time with him like this. They had work every day, but in her opinion it wasn't quite the same as being able to get away from the office.

Aerith tilted her head to the side, looking perfectly innocent.
"I suppose I could indulge that. I was just talking to a good friend of mine about ice cream the other day, too. It must be fate."

Roy promptly wandered over and offered his hand with a little flourish.

"So, how have you been?"

She did worry when they went on these big missions, and she wasn't good enough with a sword yet to help.

"It did get pretty crazy both here and in Europe for a while, didn't it?"

"It's okay, though. It could always be worse."

The exasperation was mostly for show. Roy was more in control than he let on.

She winked at him to prove that she was just teasing him, even if it was true.

Yes, he was talking about Cloud.

Cloud isn't the only one who likes to occasionally brood, Roy~

Wasn't he getting better at being LESS broody?
