If you've read any of my other stuff you've probably noticed that whenever I publish or update something it's usually because I'm avoiding working. This is absolutely no exception. In the midst of my efforts to procrastinate I found a bunch of themes and decided to use them to add to a couple drabbles I'd written previously. What can I say...Roy and I are kindred spirits.

"Uh-huh."
"These by the end of the month…"

"Let me see."
"Sir, it's not that bad. Let's continue-"
Roy grabbed her hand. "It's bleeding!"
Riza sighed. "I'll bandage it later…we really need to finish this…Colonel?"
Roy rummaged through some drawers in his desk.
"What are you doing?"
"Hold on…here," he replied, handing her a small first-aid kit.
Riza rolled her eyes, sifting through the pouch until she pulled out a bandage. She frowned, unable to tie it to her finger with just one hand.
"Need some help?" Roy asked, amused.
Riza scowled, holding her hand out in front of her. "Quickly, please…"
"Of course," he said, tying it securely in place. "Is that all right?"
"That's fine," said Riza, examining his first-aid administration.
Roy smiled. "It doesn't hurt, does it?" he asked.
"Not really, no," she answered, smiling a bit herself, despite efforts to remain serious. "Thank you though."
"Sure."
"All right…these forms need to be redone. You really need to watch your spelling, Colonel…"
