you poor poor man completely abandoned by your army buddy ;)
don't get greedy now
( she wonders if the bond is something she'd be interested in, for a moment. other than eggsy, she's not really close enough to anyone here to have a real bond. )
[ the thought of asking her has only just crossed his mind, but then he'd have to, well, ask. and then they'd travel to wyver, up that great fucking mountain, and he'd swear to her. and kiss her. and they'd be a pair.
last time, he hadn't known how it would go. the locals just singled him and harry out, suggesting it because of their apparent closeness. curiosity led them up and, then, well — it made sense to play along. this time, however, eggsy would have to ask roxy properly (pop the bloody question, so to speak), knowing all of that and ensuring she knew it, too.
it's sort of intimate, isn't it? he'd said, but now he thinks, very fucking intimate. ]
( she doesn't know there's kissing involved. she doesn't know anything but what eggsy's told her and the bits and pieces others had mentioned on the network, that she's come across in her initial survey of things. intimacy with eggsy isn't a new thing; he knows her greatest fears and has talked her through them, just as she's kept him from throwing the training by giving in to his frustration about charlie, just as she knows about his family —
but it's a different thing, isn't it? a different kind of intimacy. )
tomorrow sounds good and i will
though i think i need to think about getting a proper job
alan would know better than me. he's been working there for ages rosalind and dorian have been there for a while, too, if you wanted to see what others think course those two are a bit much
[ with the time travel and the magic and the... egos... ]
[ listen, it's not that he's grateful to field this question over text rather than in person, but, well — eggsy knows that he'd sound hopelessly fond if he spoke of alan aloud, in this same way that talk of harry makes his throat dry and eyes wet.
while he trusts roxy more than anyone, they're colleagues and friends. learning more about each other outside of kingsman is a work in progress. eggsy still keeps much of his personal experiences to himself, even though his times on el nysa have trended happier than much of his life in london. ]
i know he's a good man definitely has his secrets says he was in Security back home but doesn't mind doing shady shit like betting on me in the fighting rings or fleecing folks
[ casually dropping that he participated in the fighting rings. yep. ]
i'm sure he suspects something but he doesn't know anything for certain
( GARY UNWIN!!! she hates you a little sometimes. admittedly, it's the kind of hatred that really isn't hatred at all, that's born entirely from caring about him and his safety. it's fond, almost. )

what are you thinking?
no subject
maybe the institute instead
no subject
the institute is always involved when shit hits the fan
[ so, it would be smart for roxy to work there. and dangerous, too. ]
no subject
( not the danger, of course — but roxy doesn't have a background in science, so for all that she isn't stupid, it might be a challenge. )
no subject
[ but — ]
alan would know better than me. he's been working there for ages
rosalind and dorian have been there for a while, too, if you wanted to see what others think

how well do you know him?
( "what does he know about you?" she really means to ask. )
i think i've met rosalind, but not dorian.
