[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?

[Not even dignifying the third option with a response. Seriously, Mustang? Seriously? You are not boning his relatives!]
[Voice]
So have you told her yet?
[Voice / Locked]
...We talked.
[Voice / Locked]
[ALL THE SIGHS]
Fullmetal, I was not trying to hit on her.
[Except for that part in which he was, but let's leave that part out of it okay?]
Besides, you do have a father, right? I certainly wouldn't want to deal with the repercussions from that.
[Voice / Locked]
That bastard has nothing to do with this...!
[Yeah, there's his opinion of his "father" right there in a nutshell. Take that as you will.]
[Voice / Locked]
[Consider that subject filed away for later, but otherwise dropped.]
I have absolutely no intention of chasing after your mother. It's force of habit that it happened in the first place, and I don't intend to make that mistake a second time. Is that better?
[Voice / Locked]
[BUT HE NEVER FORGETS.]
You're better off staying out of it, colonel.
[Voice / Locked]
[However...]
Knowing you, "we talked" could mean anything. You have a second chance, Edward, where most people only get one. Don't waste it.
[Voice / Locked]
[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.]
