[Ever since New Years, he's taken to trying to stay indoors when he can, venturing out only when necessary. Since the arrival of a certain short blond alchemist's parents, he's been trying to keep an even lower profile... because it's cold outside, and automail is metal, and getting punched by a cold metal fist is not high on his list of priorities.

After all, what if it was like getting your tongue stuck to an ice cube? What if he wound up stuck to Edward's arm? And of course, this opens up a whole new can of worms that he doesn't even want to think about because he isn't the one with the metal limbs...

But even more pressing is the fact that he's noticed something here and there on the floor of his apartment: feathers. His feathers. Not a lot, but definitely not just one or two. This means the question must be asked, and so he turns to the journal and its video function.]

Perhaps someone else will be able to answer this, but is this [A pause as he turns the journal to point at the feathers on the floor] normal?

[Oh. Wow, Colonel. She sees what you're doing there. CLEARING HER THROAT VERY LOUDLY.]

Colonel.

[You are losing so much face. you can hear her tapping her foot.]

These wings are connected to us, right? I wouldn't be surprised if we did.

[Well, she would, but that's because she doesn't normally HAVE them.]

...I don't need to hear that from you.

[All the scowls. There's only a handful of people he'd accept a lecture from and actually acknowledge even half the advice, and Roy is not one of them.]

I haven't seen it before, but.. as long as it doesn't hurt, it can't be too bad, right? [ a sigh. ] Maybe we all seriously molt too, like we're some kind of animals with these things.

Might be a cold or something. We don't usually molt unless there's either an experiment or something else going on, or you aren't feeling well.

Or maybe stressed.

'Less you're feeling sick in other ways though, maybe ride it out for a day or two. Go to the clinic if it lasts longer than that, though.

...And I guess the rest of us will just keep an eye out for anything weird going on.

...I've never seen that happen before...

Oh! But maybe they'll grow back in a new color! That'd be pretty, at least~.

I wouldn't mind them so much if they weren't so awkward and ridiculous looking... and if they'd stop making such a mess everywhere.

[...even though it's really not as much of a mess as he insists it is. His cleaning habits are such that he ends up making more of a mess before actually accomplishing anything, though.]

It's not that much of a mess. A broom and dustpan would have that cleaned up in no time.

They are a bit inconvenient, though.

Or they're already taken.

[Like she is. ^_^]

Doesn't seem normal to me. [LOSING FEATHERS in fact seems like a very bad thing when losing a wing can kill you instantly.] Maybe there are some wing experts around here that know something about it.

...And in the meantime, you can stuff a new pillow. [Totally practical.]

A broom and..?

[Oh. Oops.]

I knew I should have made a list when I was out last.

Very true. The good ones usually are.

The more I hear about Luceti, the stranger it gets.

I don't either. It'll take time, but... he'll be alright. He hasn't let anything break him thus far.

[Hopefully those won't end up being be famous last words.]

...What did I do?

Maybe I should choose a new career path. "Roy Mustang, Slightly Abnormal Interior Decorator".

[Okay, that sounds like an interesting concept.]

But what if they wound up looking splotchy ans awkward?

I have a bit of a headache. Would that count?

Given that there are some in my world who used science to combine humans and animals, I wouldn't be surprised if we were.

[Sure, the results were hit or miss depending on who did it, but there were some who seemed to be slightly more human...]

Doctor Mizuno. Alright, I'll be there shortly.

... Geez, I wasn't entirely being serious, but.. you think they tried to change us into birds and got stuck halfway through, or something like that?

[ do not want. ]

I've never seen an awkward pair of wings here. They always look nice--

[She drops her backpack and turns around, showing off her deep pink wings with light green tips. She gives them a couple flaps, before putting her backpack back on.]

See?

"They can keep him".

What did you mean by that?

I'll see you soon, then. [With a polite goodbye, she closes the journal for now to wait.]

I'll admit, it has a ring to it. Might be more useful than "Aspiring Fuhrer" around here!
