The Salle, Monday Morning

[bitchprince]

It ws morning, it was Monday, and Arthur was in the salle, going over the edge of his own sword to make sure it was still decent for actual combat. Sure, sharpening the thing wasn't strictly his job, but he liked to make sure just in case something showed up.

He was also still mildly cranky over the phone thing, but it wasn't like mildly cranky and Arthur were strange bedmates.

Despite the fact that he was a classic redhead and not auburn like his icons rly, Roy was not one to blush easily. He didn't embarrass easily, for one thing, but it just wasn't part of his makeup.

He was blushing now. "Uh...yes?"

Dinah stopped, thoughts of backing off drowned in mortification. "... was it about the kissing?"

Can you fall on your practice sword and make it permanent? Semi-stepson! So wrong!

[exspeedydotcom]

So wrong! Girls kissing girls = hot! Teeny Dinah kissing anyone = NOT SOMETHING ROY WANTED TO THINK ABOUT.

"...yeah," he admitted. Then he said brightly, "Maybe we can just forget that ever happened!"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Yespleasenow." Dinah nodded vehemently. Buried forever! Let us never speak of this again! She is not an oversharing cougar of any kind! Then she felt confident to carefully ask, "Um, you didn't call me, did you? 'Cause I got a message from you. I think. Maybe." She winced. "Mojo?"

[exspeedydotcom]

Never happened! Never ever! "No, I di--oh my God." Roy covered his face with one hand. "Oh, my God, no, that wasn't meant for you."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Whew!" Dinah's shoulders sagged in relief, and she gave him a wider smile. "Oh, good. 'Cause I didn't think I was coming on that strong. I mean, we just met! I like you, I think you're cool. And I'd help if you needed it for something, but I'm so not trying to be your sorta-mom-person." Except for the cookies. And okay, she'd hurt someone who messed with his head. But that was SOP! Really!

"No, that was--not meant for you," Roy said. Again. "You're--fine. You're fine." Even if she was kind of babbly...

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Good." Dinah frowned, then wondered about who that had been meant for, and... "So was that in response to a phone call, I'm guessing?" No details! No identities. "I hope that one was a mistake too. And nobody's actually poking at you."

[exspeedydotcom]

"Yeah," he admitted reluctantly. "I don't know. It sounded like it was meant for me? But--the person who called me didn't mention names."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Eeeeek." Dinah gave him a sympathetic look. "Yeah, this happened last year? I so wish I'd figured it out faster this time." NOT THINKING ABOUT IT. Then her lips twitched as she thought of Jaime's message. "Although, there's one or two people I get to tease badly now."

[exspeedydotcom]

"Bobby and I figured it out eventually," Roy said. "I got one pretty hilarious message from someone I didn't know."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah grinned. "Do I want to know? I got one from Ino about flying cars. I have to ask her what that's about."

[exspeedydotcom]

Roy's lips twitched. "Apparently," he said, "webcams are not for sex."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah spluttered, then laughed, turning red. "I got one about that too, but this guy I know was really panicky about it, and saying he'd come over and explain. I wonder how many people got that message?"

[exspeedydotcom]

"I didn't get that one, I just got, like 'Webcams are not for sex!' and then he hung up. Which was pretty funny all on its own."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was a lot of giggling there. And feeling less weird about the other phone calls. "Welcome to Fandom. If you're not embarrassed, someone else is."
