They often spoke of his plans for the future, of defeating Father and becoming the Führer and changing the country. They spoke of how they would accomplish such goals, and what the country would become. They spoke of the work that needed to be done, usually when she was scolding/threatening him, in an effort to finish the paperwork on time. For a superior and his subordinate, they spoke quite a lot.
But there were things that they did not speak of. Riza was perceptive enough to never bring up Maes, and Roy kept quiet about the things that had gone on in her father's house, before he had arrived. Neither one had any desire to remember Ishbal, and the scars that still lined their hearts and memories. They did not talk about the likelihood of their punishment, for war crimes and treason.
And there was one subject that neither was brave enough to bring up; that was their future. What would happen if the fraternization laws and restrictions were lifted, what would become of them if there was nothing there, keeping them apart? Would they be able to move on with their lives?
No, sometimes the more frightening things are better left unspoken.
