Pizza Planet, Sunday Evening

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

There was something incredibly amused about Lieutenant Kerrigan when she walked into the pizza place: apparently there were some universal constants that time would never dispose of, and pizza was one of them.

"It's nice some things are the same everywhere," she remarked, taking a seat.

[ kerrigan's here for her sheriff-y date, but open to anyone who wants pizza ]

Roy was very much aware that they were overdressed for this place, but he decided that he didn't care. The leather pants and jacket Kerrigan was wearing might have helped with that. Besides, Roy overdressed for sailing. 'nough said.

"Not everywhere," he replied, sliding into the seat opposite of Kerrigan. "Your world is more advanced than this one?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

It's not like Kerrigan cared, either. She used to run around fancier places wearing only battle armor - the opposite wasn't going to throw her. "'World's a tiny term. We're a little more space-faring where I come from," she said, grinning slightly.

It was mostly thanks to the troopers that he wasn't boggling at her words. "You've seen a lot of worlds then?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"A bunch," Kerrigan said. There was just the tiniest incline towards wry in her tone - most of the worlds she'd seen lately were wiped clean only hours later. "It gets repetitive."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"That's hard to imagine," he replied, studying her for a second at the change of tone. "This is only the second country I've seen."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

But she just smiled at him - her expression no echo of whatever snuck into her voice. "The first five are magical," Kerrigan said, "Then you figure out people are people everywhere."

"Then I have four more to go," he decided and motioned to the menu. "Considering you're so familiar with this food, perhaps you can make a recommendation?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Take your time with them," Kerrigan advised, "You'll enjoy it more that way."

She glanced over the menu. "I usually just order whatever's got the most dead animal on it," she remarked, smirking.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He raised an eyebrow, giving her an amused look. "Putting it like that really does wonders for my appetite," he deadpanned.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

The smirk got a little bigger. "Queasy stomach, Sheriff?" Kerrigan asked.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Not usually, no," he said with a laugh.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Then dead animal pizza it is," Kerrigan said, her eyebow raised in challenge.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy shook his head in amusement, but he was not about to let a challenge lie. "It would be rude to ask for a recommendation and then to ignore it."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Ah, etiquette," Kerrigan said, waving over someone to place her order, "Funny."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Yes, people here seem to find it amusing," Roy replied. "Personally I can appreciate it."

He waited as one of the waiters moved over, letting Kerrigan handle this.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

She ordered a very large pizza. With a lot of dead animals on it. Just because she could.

"I don't know, Sheriff," Kerrigan said, afterwards, "I've never really had the time. I don't think it's for me. Tried asking someone how they were, once -- burst out laughing."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"It requires the right timing," he remarked, raising an eyebrow. "And now I'm going to have to ask when you asked them."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I can handle timing," Kerrigan said, vaguely mocking, now. "But the niceties rarely seem to make sense." And it's not like the marines would appreciate them, anyway. "And I can assure you it was a very properly timed 'how are you'."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy grinned and shrugged a shoulder, slightly apologetic. "There's a lot of etiquette in Amestrian military," he explained. "But then we have no marines."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Our rules are rigid," Kerrigan said, shortly. "Etiquette, on the other hand-- not so much."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Rules and etiquette seem to go well together occasionally," Roy remarked and he tilted his head. "But I think I should change the topic now and ask how the swimming pool is doing." Because that was really smooth.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she would've noticed that with or without the telepathy. "Smooth," Kerrigan laughed, raising both her eyebrows, "My swimming pool hasn't magically spawned any bikinis yet, if that's what you're asking."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Well no, I don't do magic," Roy smirked. "And thank you, I do try."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Just alchemy, looks like," Kerrigan said, grinning. "Where I come from, they'd call that magic."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy bristled a little. "Alchemy is science," he informed her. "There are laws to it just like there are laws in physics and chemistry."
