"Here they are! I knew I'd just seen them an-Simon? You okay?" Jay paused, oddly iridescent blue feathered head tilting, oversized glowing yellow eyes blinking, shifting over Simon in concern.

Simon started, giving a somewhat flailing nod, reaching up, scratching at the back of his neck, quickly glancing away in an effort to keep from gawking like an idiot at his oddly avian coworker.

"O-oh, um...y-yeah, yeah fine. Just a little birdbrained today-um-" he stumbled faintly, huffing, just managing to keep the exasperated groan internal, feeling his cheeks warm, mentally face palming.

Oh dear god he sucks at this!

Agent Byrd blinked, head tilting the other way, peculiar, crest like tuft of feathers atop his head shifting faintly, catching in the florescent light of the office. Simon swallowed, shrugging helplessly, flashing a sheepish smile, feeling his cheeks warming even more, quickly shaking his head, a nervous little giggle slipping out.

"Sorry, Guess I'm kinda spacey. I met someone this past weekend and it's just going really, really well."

Jay chuckled, giving a bit of a shrug, nodding understandably.

"Eh happens to all of us. Must have been some date, huh?"

Simon giggled, nodding, flashing a beaming smile.

"Completely out of this world..." he took a deep breath, just managing to keep yet another eyeroll internal.

Oh good lord, there's only so many accidental stumbles and puns you can make before someone catches on. Get it together man!

He shook his head, nodding like a bobble head, smile tugging up to something that was somewhere between the Cheshire Cat and the Joker. With any luck he could play off his spacey idiocy as he got lucky and was just still a bit lust loopy.

"Y-yeah, totally. Definitely one for the books. A-and I know this is really quick and it's only been a couple of days and it probably seems way over the top cause it hasn't been anywhere near enough time to be much of anything real yet but it's one of those that just feels like a whole new world."

Uh! Enough with that! Someone's gonna pick up on them!

He took another deep breath, pulling his smile up a bit wider still, trying to go for besotted and loopy rather than gob smacked and flailing. Byrd just smiled indulgently, giving a politely interested, faintly amused nod.

"That's great Simon, sounds like someone really special."

"Oh he is; most incredible person I've ever met." He trailed off on a slightly dreamy sigh, flashing yet another somewhat dopy, overly wide smile, quickly nodding, relaxing, relieved that it seemed like his lust addled cover worked and that he finally managed to get a sentence out that didn't have any avian or alien related stumbles.

"No question. I totally hit the jackpot." He took a deep breath, nodding yet again, flashing one more smile and a bit of an awkward little wave before turning, beginning back over to the elevators.

Okay not even remotely smooth but at least he's done with tha-

"Uh...S-Simon?"

He paused at the slight chuckle, head tilting, glancing back. Byrd smirked, head tilting, mirroring him, the odd, crest like brow feathers quirking impishly in amusement holding up the file.
