    Summary

    Eastern Command is quiet in the way that it only ever is in the hours leading up to Remembrance Day. A rare treat, it is the one time each year that most Amestrian military officers are granted a three day weekend, and is so heavily anticipated that most of the higher-ranking staff members are already long gone for their out of town vacations.

    Colonel Roy Mustang leans back in his chair and watches the sunset bleed orange across the far wall instead of finishing the stack of reports on his desk.

    In his defense, the reports are boring.

    In further defense, First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye is still here.

    Summary

    She shrugs; the tug, the stiff scar tissue of her left shoulderblade, is harder to tune out right now. Gingerly she turns his hand over. The flame alchemy array carved into his skin is almost unrecognizable - bisected, maimed by stitches, pulled back together so that its edges no longer line up neatly. Inert.
    Hawkeye sighs through her nose. Sir, she could say - but no one is especially happy to hear her talk these days. Something about aggravating her healing throat. Something about the look on Mustang's face as he watches the bandages flex around her frail voice.
    So she sighs, and she raises her eyebrows, and - mercifully - he chuckles.

    --

    "The one thing worse than death is to avert your eyes from it. Look straight at the people you kill, don't take your eyes off them for a second. And don't ever forget them - because I promise that they wont forget you."
    Riza is still looking back. Mustang? Mustang is looking at her.
