One Thursday morning Riza walked into work as though it were any other day. Or at least, she tried to pretend like it was any other day. It was clear to see throughout the whole day, the lieutenant, who normally focused strictly on her work, was busy thinking about something else. At lunch instead of sitting with her co-workers and subordinates like she normally did, she sat by herself, with a look of determination on her face.
"What do you think is bothering the lieutenant?" asked Falman later that afternoon. Roy and the others all shrugged and continued to look back at their paperwork. Falman shrugged and began to do the same.
"It's not that we don't care," Roy said.
"Yeah," replied Fuery "we just know what the lieutenant is capable of and I think I speak for us all, when I say that it would be better to leave her be, especially when she's in a fowl mood."
"Well…maybe she wants someone to ask," Falman said.
"Doubt it," the others responded in unison. Riza re-entered the room with Black Hayete and sighed. She approached Roy's desk.
"Colonel, I have to ask permission to leave work early today."
"What for, Lieutenant?"
"I have to leave for Aquroya, my younger sister Jenna is getting married this weekend."
"Permission granted," Roy said. Roy watched her sluggishly leave the building and decided to follow after her.
"Lieutenant!" He called after her. Riza turned around.
"Yes Colonel?"
"May I walk with you for a minute?"
"Of course sir," she replied. Roy loved looking at Riza. Even in a military uniform, she looked good. Her loved her bright golden eyes and her rare smiles. He hated to see her upset, and he was going to get to the bottom of her terrible mood.
"What's bothering you Lieutenant? That your younger sister is getting married before you? Or maybe that she's getting married in general?" Roy teased. Riza scowled at him, Roy stepped back slightly, but then she sighed.
"I guess that's it, I don't know…I'm not very good at finding people for these sort of things," Riza said.
"Finding people?" Roy asked confused about what she meant.
"I mean, romantically, a boyfriend. My parents are constantly teasing me about not having a boyfriend and now my younger sister is getting married before me." Roy looked surprised. He never pegged Riza as someone who cared about things like that. He had never heard of her having a boyfriend or anyone romantically in general. He didn't think she was the type of person who would even want that.
"It's not that I'm looking for something like that," Roy laughed to himself, it was if she had read his mind. " But I'd like to show up my parents, but it's too late now. Oh well," she sighed. Roy thought for a moment. He could take Riza. He could use a long weekend and this way he could get to know Riza better it was a win-win situation.
"I'll go with you." Riza looked at Roy, taking in what he said.
"Out of the question," she replied walking faster. He ran up to meet her pace.
"Why?"
"You know the rules! Besides you're my commanding officer. No, forget it. I'm sorry, sir, it's just not appropriate."
"Come on, Riza, no one would know, and it's not like we'd actually be involved romantically, we'd just be pretending."
"Colonel, please it's wrong," she said.
"That's it…I'm coming whether you like it or not. I'm coming to your apartment in an hour and we'll get on the train and leave and you'll be happy about it! That's an order Lieutenant!" Roy left Riza standing, shocked, outside. After he turned back into the building, Riza smiled.
"What am I going to do with him?" she shook her head.
