Stepping out of the gym after a good workout, Scarlett nearly ran straight into the team's resident psychiatrist, Psyche-Out. Taking a quick step back, she gave him a small polite smile of apology, "Sorry about that, didn't see you. Uh, can I help you?"
She asked because he wasn't dressed to work out and was trying to look over her shoulder into the gym itself. He nodded in a distracted fashion, still trying to look over her shoulder, "Yes actually. I was looking for Snake Eyes to let him know his three o'clock appointment tomorrow got bumped down to four."
Scarlett kept up her smile, though it widened a bit in amusement, "I'll let him know if I find him before you do."
Psyche-Out gave her a quick nod of thanks, finally focusing his attention fully on her, "Thank you Scarlett and if you could remind him to please be punctual, that would be nice too. In fact, if he could arrive a few minutes earlier, that would be even better."
They both knew Snake Eyes wouldn't, but neither said anything otherwise. Instead, Psyche-Out thanked her one more time and continued down the hall, likely to return to his office. She sighed and leaned back into the gym look above the door, "He's gone now."
The door frame stuck out only half an inch on either side of the doorway, but leave it to a ninja master to turn it into a suitable hiding platform. Snake Eyes lowered himself down easily from his tiny perch, rolling his shoulders once he was standing before her.
Scarlett shook her head again, but she was smiling as she said, "You can't avoid him forever, you know."
Snake Eyes snorted, clearly taking the unsaid challenge. His girlfriend rolled her eyes, "Just go to the appointment Snake. It'll make Psyche-Out happy and he'll back off for a while, okay?"
He crossed his arms over his chest defiantly, but gave in after she gave him a look. Reaching up to pat his shoulder, Scarlett smiled again and stepped away, "I'm going to hit the showers now. I'll see you in the mess hall?"
Snake nodded, stepping away to do the same but not before leaning in to gently touch their foreheads together first. Scarlett felt her smile widen but didn't say anything, instead giving him a quick hug before they broke away and went their separate ways to clean up.
