[First Flame]: [Locked from Hostiles]

[honootaisa]

So... I just talk in to this?

Yeah, talk away.

... alright. *achem* This is Brigadier General Roy Mustang, requesting information and assistance. My... partner and I are currently in the city of Tetha and looking for anyone who may be from the Amestris State Military. We're also kind of covered in muck...

This guy got dropped in the Putrid Ruins of all places. Talk about unlucky! *laughs*

You'd do well to shut up, Havoc. You can laugh when I'm clean again.

Yeah, yeah yeah. By the way, don't look down, chief.

What? Why no-... are we floating?

No, you're hallucinating. [/sarcasm] Of course we're floating! It's Tetha!

[Groan. One can just hear the epic facepalm here before the comm shuts off]

[Roy smiles back]

Nothing bad, I hope.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

Not at all, sir!

[ Sabine then goes to get into the driver's side, keeping her smile up. ]

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

[Greg shakes his head] Nah. Nothing bad. I'm surprised she hasn't made all sorts of complaints about me.

Oh, nothing but good things, Mr. Sanders.

Fft. Call me Greg. I already feel old enough as it is.

Alright, Greg it is then.

[ Sabine lets them talk while she drives the Denali to where they're staying. ]

Greg, sir, would you like to go have a bite to eat?

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

[Greg looks like he's about ready to bounce out of his seat and hug Sabine] Something that's not horrible hospital food?!

[Roy chuckles] Sounds like you've been in there a while.

On and off, far too much in the past eight months. Same thing, really.

[ Admittedly, Sabine laughs at Greg's excitement, but shakes her head a little. ]

Alright, alright, we can go get some food. What are you two in the mood for?

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

I can't say I know what's around here, so I can let you two decide.

... pizza? [of course he says this like a hopeful little kid]

... what's pizza?

Only the best thing ever!

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

[ Here, have the long-winded explanation. ]

Pizza is when you take bread dough, roll it out and shape it into a circle with the ends of it rolled up into crusts. You take some tomato sauce, then add your flavor of cheese, either mozzarella, provolone, ec cetera, then put your toppings on it - pepperonis, anchovies, peppers, and the like. Serve it with some kind of drink and enjoy. You have pizza, sir.

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

... sounds... interesting.

Wouldn't kill ya to try new things, Chief.

I didn't say I wouldn't try, Havoc.

Trust me, it's worth it.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

Pizza it is, then!

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

WOOHOO!

[laughs] Excitable, isn't he?

Eh, I'm fully aware I'm just a big geeky kid even though I'm thirty four.

Thirty four...? Wow.

[eyebrow quirk] Okay, now I'm almost afraid to ask...

Thirty two.

... I'm -older- than you?

Eheh, it would appear so.

And you're a GENERAL in the military? Suddenly... I don't feel so accomplished...

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

Ah, well... he was a Colonel when I first joined the military, and due to being a State Alchemist, you automatically make it to being a Major.

Though, I think you're pretty accomplished, Greg. [ Smiles in the rearview mirror for him. ]

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you've done something worth while, Greg.

Well... I am the youngest CSI at the Las Vegas Police Department...

CSI?

Crime Scene Investigator.

Ah, right, right. She told me about that. Youngest?

Yeah, I got my CSI Level 1 when I was 30. Admittedly it was after I pretty wicked fail, but I still got it. I'm still the youngest member on the team.

See? That's impressive.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

What did I tell you, Greg? The General is a good man.

[ Bigger smile. Yeah, being around people she knows is keeping her happy. ]

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

Never doubted that for a second! [Greg grins a bit. He's just happy to be out of the hospital and with Sabine again.]

[laughs] I'm sure you didn't.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

[ When they arrive, Sabine stops the car and turns it off, taking the keys out of the ignition. ]

We're here.

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

[Greg practically bounces himself out of the car, bolting to the door. Roy watches him as he gets out, snickering quietly.]

Is he always like this?

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

[ Sabine chuckles quietly as well, nodding. ]

Yeah, but he's a great man. I'm glad I'm with him.

[honootaisa.livejournal.com]

I can tell. [Roy smiles] It's rare to see one of my men so happy. I'm very happy for you, Major.

[bondingalchemy.livejournal.com]

[ Sabine's cheeks flush in embarrassment, but she smiles earnestly up at Roy. ]

Thank you, sir! It's an honor!
