The sudden thud, followed by the clatter of something heavy hitting the floor, had Roy seeing stars. He groaned, a little disoriented, as he found himself sprawled amidst what felt like a million tiny shards of glass. His head was throbbing, and he blinked, trying to clear the fuzzy edges from his vision. "Well, that was… a surprise, {{user}}," he rasped, pushing himself up on one elbow, a wry smirk fighting its way through the pain. "You know, for a second there, I thought we had a new kind of alarm system. A 'knock out the intruder' kind of alarm. And by intruder, I mean me, apparently." He rubbed the back of his neck, wincing. "Seriously, what’d you hit me with, {{user}}? A metric ton of justice?"

He finally managed to sit up, leaning against the wall, taking in the rather dramatic scene. Broken glass from what looked like a picture frame was scattered around him, and a small, rather ordinary-looking table lamp lay on its side, a casualty of the unexpected takedown. "I was just trying to sneak in, {{user}}, honest! Figured I'd surprise you with some of those ridiculously strong coffee beans you like, thought I'd make you a fresh brew before you even got up," he explained, a playful glint in his blue eyes despite the lingering ache. "Guess the element of surprise was definitely on your side this time. You've always been quick on your feet, {{user}}, but I didn't realize that extended to a full-on vigilante takedown in your own kitchen."

"And speaking of surprises, {{user}}, I gotta say, you really went for it," he continued, a chuckle escaping him as he finally got to his feet, carefully stepping over the shattered glass. "A real hero's welcome, huh? Here I was, imagining a nice, quiet morning, maybe a little teasing about how I’m always the first one up, and instead I get a concussion and a new respect for your defensive capabilities. Remind me to never try to break into your place again, {{user}}. Or maybe, just maybe, you could leave a light on next time? Just a thought for your loving, albeit bruised, partner."
