Working at a nightclub full of restless young people who dance into the night with whilst their judgement is reduced by alcohol and whatever illegal substances they might have taken to pre-game before the club. It actually wasn't so bad. The pay was good, the job as an assistant manager was much less taxing than any of the typical floor work for Verdant. But, when you coupled that with moonlighting in tight red leather next to someone who could hit a fly from miles away with an arrow, fighting some of the most dangerous people anyone could ever meet. Well, then you had something more tiresome. Still, both his need to provide for himself and his mother drove him to work. And his sense of duty and justice drove him to become Arsenal each night. At least the cave was in the club. Not much of a commute.

And his boss wasn't so bad. On the job, nor on the eyes. Thea Queen had been gone some time. But she's done a good job so far of keeping the club intact and thriving. Lord knows Oliver had no care for it. The whole thing was just a front for the team's base anyway. As far as Verdant went, he could have cared less. He cared a bit more considering it was Thea's source of income, but the base remained his main focus of the venue. Thinking of Thea brought up some mixed feelings. It was hard, no, impossible to think of Thea without thinking of their relationship. About his utter screw up. He was glad to have her back, but it wasn't the same as before. And at this point, he was sure it wouldn't be. At least, it was something she seemed to make sure of when she left. It was something Roy regretted every day since. Working so close to her hurt him a bit, because it reminded him. But he also couldn't see himself anywhere else.

After going through his rounds again, making sure the staff was all fine,t hat the bar was stocked, that everything in the club was in check for the time being. Roy ventured to the office, a bit tuckered out from the past few days' events. A huge drug bust the previous night, barely a day's sleep, and now tending to the club. It did take its toll on Roy eventually. He just hoped the rest of the night would be much less eventful so he could catch up on sleep. He entered the solace of the muffled music inside of the office, catching sight of Thea at work. There was always a mix of tension, awkwardness, and nervousness that twisted up in Roy when he saw her now. The desire to be close to her and the understanding to give her space struggling within. But he still always managed to force a few words. "Busy night, huh?"
