Action | 5725 Cunningham Lane

[It is cold, and it is snowing, and honestly--if there are things Riza really has to admit to hating, it is snow. She is from the Eastern part of her home country where it was always warm. The cold of Central City was something she could handle when her uniform was the heavy, starched blue wool. She is far grumpier ( Read more... )

[Alphonse had been on his way home from the bakery (EATING AGAIN IS THE BEST THING ABOUT HAVING A BODY) when he sees this very familiar person.]

Lieutenant Hawkeye!

[Wait for it, Alphonse. Just give her a few seconds. She'll have a proper response in just a moment for you. She's currently rubbing her hands frantically to keep them warm, and wishing to high heaven that nurses didn't wear dresses to work.]

[And then she hears her name called, with Lieutenant attached, and knows it's someone from home. She recognizes that voice, and glances up, brow quirked in curiosity and then--]

Alphonse?

[She would love to be excited, except there is a part of her that just can't be happy that he is here.]

[He is excited to see her there. Aside from being someone familiar from home, she had always supported them getting their original bodies back. And now... Well, he couldn't be more proud of the all-too human body he has now.]

Mm, it's me! I didn't know you were here too.

[Riza smiles weakly at him. Even though she knew he'd gotten his body back at home, it was still nice to see him as a human again.]

It seems like quite a few of us are here. Have you met up with your mother and Edward, yet? They're both here.

[Man, is he glad that he has, otherwise her question would have bowled him right over. Even as it is, he still feels a lurching in his stomach at the mention of his mother, but his smile is bright.]

Mm, I'm living with... Mom, and Brother is just down the street.

[She can sense the quick change in tone, and instantly regrets how nonchalantly she'd made mention of it. She should have been more careful.]

I'm glad you are all near one another.

[After a moment, she adjusts her gloves and smiles.]

Who else have you run into? Quite a few people from home seem to be here lately. When I first arrived, there weren't many of us here.

bodyback December 10 2011, 23:48:09 UTC

Major General Armstrong...

[Because that wasn't TERRIFYING.]

And two of the Homunculus. But Brother has told me that there are lots of our allies here as well.

snipingmissy December 11 2011, 04:48:25 UTC

Yes, there are two homunculi--Lust and Greed.

[You're telling her.]

Major General Armstrong is here and so is Captain Buccaneer. They've been placed in a house together.

Then there's Edward, of course, and your mother. I see Lan Fan occasionally around town, and Winry just arrived recently. Retired Second Lieutenant Havoc just showed up at our front door the other day, and Colonel Mustang is here as well.

[A pause. She isn't quite as afraid of Alphonse making fun as she was of several others here.]

The Colonel and I are at 5725 Cunningham if you should ever need anything.

bodyback December 11 2011, 20:24:56 UTC

[Well... He won't make fun of her, but he can't stop the slow smile spreading across his face.]

O-Oh, thanks! I'm at 1647 Albright Lane, if you... need anything too.

[Smooth, Alphonse.]
