You've reached Roy Mustang. I'm currently unavailable, but if you leave your name and a brief message, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I suppose there's a first time for everything, then, though I do understand your sentiments about the mist. I should consider myself lucky that I escaped it this time.

[...]

Which is precisely why I can't fire you.

...besides, I seem to recall having tried that once and you refused to be fired.

I would if I were you. I think I prefer the monsters to the mind games.

Quite true, sir. I can't allow you to fire me while you still need me. So I suppose you're stuck with me as well.

I would have to agree on that. At least the scars left by physical attacks heal relatively quickly. Those left by emotional injury and mental trauma tend to linger long after the event itself has passed.

It would be a lie if I said I mind being stuck with you, though I feel sorry for you having to be stuck with me.

[She's a little slow to reply, momentarily too busy wishing the mist would have given her the choice to add another ugly scar to her collection rather than having put him and herself through what had happened this last week.]

... very true. And old scarred skin can't do nearly as much damage as dredging up a painful memory.

[And behold, the subtle sound of a smirk in her tone.]

You're not so bad, Colonel. I would even say fairly tolerable. It also helps that I am extremely patient.

Though, some of them act as triggers for said memories.

"Fairly tolerable"? I haven't gotten into nearly as much trouble here as I have at home, so either I've gotten better or I'm just getting warmed up.

... yes. But there are some things, no matter how painful, which shouldn't be forgotten.

[She doesn't resent her own scars for that reason. All of them are lessons, things she should never forget written down on her skin.]

If I were the type to make bets, I'd know which of those to put my money on. I'm convinced you're just lacking the home court advantage. I'm sure before long, you'll be back to getting yourself into copious amounts of trouble.

Aw, come on, I'm not that bad!

Mm... no. You aren't. But even if you were, I'd still stay by your side.

Are you feeling better now?

... yes. I think I am. Thank you.

Good, because that means I don't have to resort to embarrassing myself to cheer you up.

[A soft sound, almost a laugh.]

Well, I wouldn't stop you if you had something planned.

Or I could save it in the event there ever comes a time when I would need it.

...like another time such as this, or a second date, or something completely random.

Ah. And of course you wouldn't want to be without it in the event that you should have a need of it. For a second date... or something random.

Exactly. And if I save it, it'll give me more time to plan it out for maximum effect.

Well then, by all means, sir. Hold onto it.
