Stock had been wandering the halls when he noticed V. "Oh hey.....you're back." He tried hard to keep any bitter jealousy out of his voice but it was hard. After all V had been and probably still was closer to Mort then he ever had been.
V had a wary look in his eyes as Stock adressed him, and forced a smile on his lips. He gave the other a small wave, and greeted him “Hey,’‘ he started, ‘‘Yeah, Im-Im back’‘
“I was wondering why Mort had seemed happier lately….”
He allowed just a hint of bitterness to color his tone before shrugging. “So will you be working for our president or just hanging around?”
The fact that Mort seemed to liven up a little more with his presence brought a small smile to his lips. He noticed the bitterness in Stocks voice, but they never were the best of friends, so V didnt blame him. ‘‘If Mort allows me to, I’d love to be useful as soon as possible again,’‘ He replied, meeting Stocks eyes. ‘‘How- Uhm, how are you these days?’‘
