Scene Sunday #53

Omega watched for a moment as his target finished signing some papers, tapping them on his desk to make them neat and setting them aside in a tray. Now was the perfect chance, it was go time. He eased himself into the timeline, just outside of the skeleton's view.

"Hey."

The skeleton jumped, knocking his pen off the desk and to the floor. "Ah-! Oh, Omega, it's just you." Frost gave him a tired smile. "Couldn't you give me a little warning before you do that?"

Omega moved himself behind the counter before Frost could lean down, reaching to pick up the pen himself. "Nah, I gotta entertain myself somehow." He set the pen down on the desk, along with a warm travel cup of hot chocolate. "Brought you something, thought you might be cold."

Frost blinked at the cup. "For me?" He took it with both hands, gently pulling off the lid to observe the contents inside. After a moment he seemed satisfied, giving Omega an appreciative look. "It smells lovely, thank you."

Omega smiled, stepping back out to lean on the other side of the counter as the skeleton took a sip. "So how've things been tonight?"

Frost snorted faintly. "Chilly, you were right about that. Any idea when they're gonna get those doors fixed?"

"I've got some folks coming in tomorrow, they should be able to get it sorted. Gotta wait until the sun's up though." Omega sighed, letting himself slide forward across the tidy countertop. "Sorry about all the hassle, I'll try to get folks here for regular maintenance more often."

Frost waved a hand. "Don't worry about it, a couple chilly nights ain't gonna kill me."

"Anything else I can get for you tonight?" Omega asked, still feeling bad. Frost just shrugged.

"Nah, I'll be fine. Thanks for looking out for me, though."

Omega stood, sighing again. "Alright, then. I gotta head back out, but I'll check up on you again later."

Frost took another sip of his hot chocolate, then waved. "See you around."

Omega raised his hand in farewell, then let himself slip back into the space between timelines. One task for the night checked off, now to make his usual rounds...
