B106.... B107....

[Ah, there it is. B108

Riza opens the door to her new home. She wasn't sure how long she'd be here, but she was at least grateful that the Headmaster was kind enough to let her stay. He seemed like a very understanding man from the get go and even allowed her to take some classes as a Cadet despite the age restrictions.

Turning the light on, she discovered that the room was simple-just the way she liked it. Well, the empty side looked simple. Riza opened her mouth, ready to call out that she was home out of sheer habit, when she realized something. The dorm room lacked something. A certain sound of paws pitter-pattering across the floor. She sighs. No Black Hayate here.

As promised, Riza found her Course Catalog with acceptance letter on a table in the kitchen. Quickly skimming through the letter, she looks over to the other bedroom. She knew she'd have a roommate, but it seemed said roommate was not in at the moment.

Taking a seat at the table, she decides to flip through the catalog and set up her classes while she still had the chance. Headmaster Cid said she only had a certain amount of time before she had to turn in her course schedule. She didn't have a bag to unpack after all.

After a few hours of setting things up on a piece of paper, she decides to go ahead and take her course schedule to the Headmaster's office. Riza assumed her roommate was attending her classes, as this Twilight Sparkle hadn't arrived yet.

If you see her in the hallways, take a moment to talk with her a while. Maybe then she can get some in-tell on what this place is about.]

[When he first saw her from a distance, he'd paused, thinking he must have merely seen someone similar and his mind had decided to trick him. Still, it was possible that the same thing which had brought him here had also brought her. He was cautious though as he moved to approach her. It was entirely possible she could be like Ed, and not be from the Amestris he was familiar with.

Judging by the length of her hair, if it was his Lieutenant, it wasn't the one he'd been pulled away from over a year ago. He'd cross the bridge of timeline issues when he got there, first he needed to be certain it was her.

Have a certain familiar black-clad road block in your path, Riza.]

Lieutenant?

[In her mind, she's looking at a mental layout of the first floor of Balamb Gardens. Riza knew at some point there should be an elevator, with a set of stairs leading up to it. Trying to keep as close to the inside wall as she could, she ducked in between students and staff alike.

As soon as she squeezed through the final gathering, she was immediately blocked by another male uniform. Riza was about to give him a curt remark, when she heard a familiar voice.

She looked up, closed her eyes for a few seconds and reopened them.... Yes, he was still there.]

C-Colonel?

[What voice she had, was a bit groggy from her healing neck wound. She was shocked to see him here, to say the least. Did she fail in protecting him? Was her sacrifice not enough? ]

[incinerare]

[Well that cinched the fact that this woman was who he'd thought her to be. His eyes noted neck injury and a subtle sorrow came and went from his face.]

When did you arrive, Lieutenant?

[eventohell]

[She watched his eyes go for the neck wound, and caught those few seconds of sadness. Shit. She should have covered that up.

His voice sounded like it had that slight hint of regret, but it was still Mustang nonetheless. Riza gave him a small reassuring smile.]

About a week ago.

[As much as it hurt her to ask, she felt compelled to....]

And you, sir?
