This will only go good places

[Ho hum, innocently walking up a flight of stairs, not expecting to get any out-of-the-blue propositions today.]

[And here's a space cadet distractedly walking down the stairs, on her way to god knows where. Not looking where she's going and boom, collision. She doesn't trip, but the books she was carrying fall on a step.]

[redwhiteandhero]

Ah, shit.

[Alfred bends down to pick up the books Cassie dropped, and stacks them before holding them back out to her.]

You got these?

[lovelycassie]

[She looks up at Alfred, then down at the stack of books, and widens her eyes for a quick moment.]

Oh. Now I do. Yes. Thank you.

[She takes the books, and pauses awkwardly.]

Alfred, oh, before you go, I have something I've been meaning to ask you. Do you have a moment?

[redwhiteandhero]

Uh, sure. Shoot.
