MCA #7 - All Day Sunday

If being back on the island was strange, ending up in this apartment was even stranger. Aly didn't mind at all really. She'd gotten used to the extra space of her rooms at the palace, and when Lianna came to visit, the spare room would be useful

Roy hadn't really been expecting to come back to Fandom this fast. Some part of him was looking for Hughes, even if he knew he'd not find his friend here this time around.

There was a certain sense of nostalgia as he made his way up the stairs, his feet knowing the way without him needing to direct them. He'd laughed when he'd read where she'd be staying and he couldn't resist the visit. Not that he'd told Aly he would be coming, that would ruin half of the fun of it.

It was a shame he didn't have his old key anymore, but then it was a bad idea to break in when a spy girl with too many knives was waiting on the other end of the door. So he knocked, like any normal person does.

The thumpity thump of large cat feet tumbled to a stop on the other side of the door, and Aly opened it soon after.

Her surprise was quickly masked by a broad grin at his arrival. "Well. Look who the cat dragged in."

[light_a_spark]

"She missed me," Roy said instantly, unable to keep from grinning right back at her. "You've got the wrong apartment."

"And yet you found me anyway," she teased. "I don't know if that's creepy or adorable."

The cats were attacking Roy's feet in their demands for petting.

A knock on Aly's door would come around mid-day. Cally had finally been able to entrust her child to the town daycare again, and wanted to check in on her newest tenant. Building up the landlord-tenant relationship was part of her job, after all.

Aly set down the knife she was sharpening and padded over to the door. She pulled it open to see a face that was familiar though changed. The name came to her a moment later.

"Cally! I knew the name looked familiar," she said, gesturing for her to come in. "Would you like some tea or something?"

[nomoreveruca]

"And I thought your name looked familiar, too. Mine probably just looks a little different," Cally admitted. "What with it used to being my last name and everything." She smiled at Aly and nodded. "Tea would be great, if I may join you."

"Grow tired of your first name?" Aly asked, a little amused at the idea. "Come in, sit down at the table, I'll put the kettle on. You caught me just starting to unpack."

Yes, the living room floor was covered with knives and nearly every other type of bladed weapon imaginable.
