He watched as Bones relaxed even more. He had no clue what assignment Bones was on about and he thought it was probably a little cute how he thought Royal would care beyond the initial bit of panic that he had already gotten over in the span of about one minute.
"I'm sure you are, nerd," Royal said jovially, glad that Bones seemed to have moved away from the original issue that had brought forth this conversation in the first place.

beautiful set by the incomparable MJ!
