(Disclaimer: I don't own FMA. Not going to lie, it's nice to write something that isn't Ling or Greed for a change.)
Envy was angry, or at least they were. The humans had destroyed their Philosopher's stone, then dared to look down on them and were planning to use them for the princess' sake. They didn't remember her name, honestly. And why should they? They were a homunculus, not some object for another country's political game, an object that would probably be dissected to find anything valuable. No point commenting on that, it wouldn't help Envy get out of the situation. The point was, this was humiliating, and they were going to be angry about it.
But that feeling didn't stay. As it turned out, sitting in a little jar, with a view obscured by a sheet for hours was really boring. At least, they were pretty sure it had been hours. The princess was silent, just running on and on, and it wouldn't make a difference if Envy could see more, because all they were passing were trees. It was so dull.
"Hey!" Envy called out, lifting their head. "Hey you! We're going to you country right?"
"That's the idea," the princess answered, like Envy was slow.
They weren't. They were just starting the conversation. There was a definite difference.
"And how long'll that take?" Envy asked.
"Well . . . it's a two day trip across the desert." That didn't sound completely honest. "But we have to get there first, and that's about. . ."
The princess was clearly thinking about it, but Envy didn't need to anymore. Getting from Briggs to the Eastern border of the country was not a day trip, especially not on foot.
Envy groaned and dropped back against the bottom of the jar. "We're never getting out of here."
Not that they had complaints about that. They didn't want to leave the country, but it sounded better than traveling across it in a jar.
"Don't worry, I've got an idea," the princess said.
"That's the perfect reason to worry," Envy replied.
The princess made a frustrated noise and her grip on the jar tightened, but nothing else happened.
"Fine. What's the plan?" Envy asked.
The princess reached a clearing and flung her arm out.
"Ta-da!"
They were in front of a small building, with train tracks on the other side of it. A train station.
"Ah."
