MCA 10: Saturday Evening

[tricksy_spy]

Aly leaned back against the couch, grinning too much at the sight of Roy covered by cats.  It wasn't nearly as amusing as she tried to make it seem, but it was definitely easier to concentrate on that than the fact he was leaving shortly.

She pointed her toe to poke him in the leg.  "Still want that coffee?"

"You mean the one you were going to make six hours ago?" he asked, wondering if being sat on by cats was a valid excuse to miss his train.

"I was busy," Aly said, batting her eyelashes.

[light_a_spark]

"Mmmmm, distracting me from packing," he nodded. At least it was done now, even if his back was going to hate him once he did get on that train. He needed to stop thinking about trains.

"And helping," she agreed, poking him again.

[light_a_spark]

"A little," he allowed, giving her a soft smile.

She smiled back, watching Dee as she looked back and forth between her humans, obviously aware something was going on. "She knows you're sad," Aly said.

[light_a_spark]

"She's smart," he said quietly, scratching Dee's head and he nudged her leg with his foot. "You're too far."

"Don't want to infringe upon your time with them," she said softly, scooting across the couch.

[light_a_spark]

"Their fifteen minutes?" he asked, shifting as much as he could to give her room.

[tricksy_spy]

"As much time as you want," Aly said softly, leaning over to tease Ow by scratching his belly.

[light_a_spark]

"Maybe I want it all at once?" he suggested, reaching up to touch her hair.

[tricksy_spy]

"You can have it," she murmured, leaning into his shoulder. "Anything you want."

[light_a_spark]

"Could take you all with me," he murmured, leaning his cheek on top of her head.

[tricksy_spy]

"Can't say I'd mind it," she whispered, reaching for his fingers to play with.

[light_a_spark]

"Until you go crazy with boredom," he pointed out, rubbing his thumb over hers.

[tricksy_spy]

"Or make so much mischief for you that they throw you out of the country," she teased.
