[closed] We thought we'd lost you
Who: Riza Hawkeye (firebornfidelis) and Roy Mustang (ignite_the_sky)
When: Late tonight
Where: Riza's apartment at Patrol Headquarters
Format: prose
What: Riza returns home to find not one but two dogs in her room.
Warnings: Rampant dorkiness?
Riza was exhausted. She hadn't really slept in the last three days thanks to her companions and the fact that she was trapped in a ridiculous maze of underground tunnels underneath the ruins. It might have been fascinating to study the old old architecture of the crumbling old walls if she hadn't been afraid that the place was about to cave in on them all at any moment.
And yet despite being tired, she still felt jumpy. Her Forge wasn't working and she had been out of contact with the Colonel since... what was it, Thursday night? She was afraid of what might could have happened in that time.
She climbed the stairs to the third floor. Poor Hayate must be hungry, not to mention worried. Seeing the dog would be a comfort, especially since it was the middle of the night and she couldn't ask her neighbors for use of their Forges to get in contact with the Colonel. She would have to take care of Hayate and then just go straight to the outlander building to check on him in person and hope that nothing had happened to him.
Her hands shook a little as she fished the key out of her pocket. She was hungry herself, not to mention in need of a shower, covered as she was in hundred-year-old dirt. But that could wait until she was sure Colonel Mustang was all right.
Fortunately for her, she didn't have to wait long. She blinked in the dim room, in a state of slight shock and extreme confusion, not quite able to process the image of her commanding officer sitting there at the foot of her bed with Hayate's head and front paws resting on his lap.
"Colonel?"
