Heh. Roy isn't much for signs of affection like that, but I'll see what I can do for you.

[Two hugs in so short a time period might not be what Roy would like, but sometimes it's not a question of what someone likes. Maes could always lean on the 'passing it along' bit. What could Roy really say then?

The real question in his mind was Ruby that perceptive or was he that obvious about how hard the past few weeks had been.]

I think so, though I probably wouldn't have admitted to it so easily.
