If you can't ask these kinds of questions now, when ARE you supposed to ask them. He more or less foresaw an answer like that though. This IS Roy. Although to imply that Roy would be 'abusing his power' to pursue, what Maes certainly sees as, a childhood crush evolved into something more would be completely wrong.

Although Maes imagines there are others in the military who would skew it into something perverse. Those guys are the worst.]

Oh good. She deserved a promotion after putting up with you for all these years. Although I imagine she's quite happy with that.
