Fortunately for Aerith, there was enough for her to do at her desk to at least somewhat keep her mind off the wait. Ten minutes was an agonizingly long time while waiting for something that she'd seemingly waited what felt like a lifetime for. Her stomach was all tied up in knots; so many thoughts, so many worries, and yet when she heard the door open and looked up to see him, they all fled as if they'd never existed in the first place ( ... )

HA NOW I GET TO FEEL BAD ;) Hey Shan, want to start a date thread down below too, or...? thishealingwind June 26 2011, 21:50:16 UTC
"Don't worry," she said, chuckling. "I remember how much you hated it last time." She was pretty sure that he'd ended up unbuttoning it and loosening his tie not too long after they'd gotten there, too.

She reached out and took his hand in her, looking ever so slightly sheepish.

"I won't be gone too long, okay Roy? I promise~"

"I might have to place you in Outer Quarter, Zones 1 and 4." Roy paused then, looking thoughtful. "You'll have to be all right with flying solo for a bit, though, and you won't have a Zone Leader for a bit."

That meant, of course, that Zack would be answering directly to Roy until a pair was found, but Zack likely knew that already. As for Aerith...

"As long as you behave yourself, young lady."

Yesss! Sounds great! And don't make me blush; I'm not used to being stalked :P 1st_class_honor June 27 2011, 17:41:57 UTC
Hey, a tie wasn't ever even part of the deal! The neckline always bothered him the most; stiff and starched, unable to mold. At least with his normal turtleneck, there was a softness with the fabric, a flexibility, like being hugged rather than throttled. Ick.

"Thanks," he said, flashing her a thumbs-up. "Knew I could count on you and your taste."

No Zone Leader? Which meant-- Oh! His eyes brightened up a little, a growing smile on his face. Not only no-Genesis, but a new Zone. And reporting to Roy! Which meant, it was time to show the guy really what he was made of!

"Don't worry, Roy, I think I can handle it." Confident, a hand ran through his hair, pulling it back, beaming his smile. "In fact, you might even be surprised."

Fingers closing around Aerith's, he squeezed her hand gently. Yeaaah, taking the boss' secretary out for lunch. It was kinda cute, thinking of it like that.

"I'll be sure not to keep her out too late, sir~!" And laughing, he started to hurry her out of the lobby.
