(TM) 189. Gods forbid you should read my mind right now ...

[admiral_adama]

If you could read my mind right now… Talk about a conversation when what you said was not what you were thinking.

"So we have no idea how she got off Galactica." Laura Roslin smiles and nods at me as she accepts the glass of water I offer, but her gray eyes are pensive as I take a seat beside her on my couch.

She. Shelly Godfrey. Blond

*chortle*
Great prompt.
A loved the subtle nuances of their interaction.
Bill's internal monologue was priceless, and lovely masculin with the 'bombshelf' and the 'ass' and the 'instincts'.

[admiral_adama]

OOC from mun: *hee!* Thank you! This one wrote itself pretty quickly once the idea struck. It was fun harking back to that earlier, warier stage of Bill and Laura's relationship.

One does have to wonder what Laura's reaction would be to know she compared so favorably with "Ms. Godfrey". ;)

[personanongaeta]

All in a day's work, sir. You're welcome.

[admiral_adama]

All in a day's work, maybe, Mr. Gaeta ... but no less appreciated for that. *congratulatory shoulder clap* Good job.

[arrow_of_apollo]

C'mon, Dad, isn't it time to make your move?

[admiral_adama]

Cut me some slack, son. This was only a few months after the Exodus ... we were barely at the wary tolerance stage.

...

And what makes you so sure I haven't already?

[arrow_of_apollo]

*snorts* That's what you think. And maybe her. But for those of us standing on the other side of tables, watching the body language?

And now we're talking.

[admiral_adama]

Well, she did--body language? What body language?!

*mutters* I need to listen to the mun when she tells me to lock these posts ...

[number_eight]

I have to agree with your son, sir.

[admiral_adama]

*sighs* You would think by now I'd be used to the CO's love life being a prime staple of gossip ...

[number_eight]

One would think, sir. *smirk*

[admiral_adama]

*mildly withering glare* Don't you have a CAP to fly, Lieutenant?

[dirty_cally]

Really? She did just disappear, sir? I thought we'd missed at least half the story. Huh.

Not that I think you are, but if you're worried about what the crew thinks, the vast majority would probably support a relationship between you and the President, sir.

[admiral_adama]

Vanished, Specialist. Straight out from under the noses of the two Marines tailing her. At least now we know how.

*snorts softly, then half-smiles* Thank you for the information, Cally.

[dirty_cally]

Half the deck gang would be fascinated to discover any small differences that getting laid regularly would cause in you. The other half would be cheering for your good fortune, not to mention your excellent taste. And I'd just be embarrassing myself thinking about how romantic the whole thing was. Much like I'm embarrassing myself right now.

I think I'll go tell the Chief to put me on report. *salutes* Sir.

OOC: *headdesk*

[cpo_galen_tyrol]

Cally?

Shut up.

Right now.

For gods' sakes.
