The next time Roy woke up from his dreamless sleep, he heard a strangely familiar and annoying tune, but he wasn't conscious enough to actually register it.

"What do you mean with 'I'm coming to visit you!'?! I'm at my work, I'm not some hospitalized patient in dire need of an annoying visit from an annoying sister!" was what pulled him back down to Earth.

"What?! You're already on your way here? Hey, don't you dare hang up on…" Beep. Beep. Beep. "…me…"

Roy snickered, though stopped when he felt a murderous presence shooting in his direction.

"Know what, it's going to take her about five minutes to get here and I won't be finished in this room by then, so you're going to feel her wrath too. Even as just a patient… Maybe…" Lena grumbled.

"How come you're so sure?" Roy asked, sounding extremely cocky. Even for some blind guy.

"As I told you yesterday, she's pregnant. And she's already naturally greedy and bossy and just horrible, now she's ten times worse. I don't know where she gets all that energy, she's always whining about how tired she is but I do know where it all goes! To eating and pissing others off, that is," Lena complained, making Roy chuckle again.

It felt good and weird at the same time to be with a 'normal' person. This 'normal' person was complaining about her sister visiting, something that seemed so trivial to him, someone who had seen comrades die in war.

"And what's worse, the only person who can calm her is her husband. But like he's going to come… We love to pester each other and he knows how much I love my sister." A groan followed the whining.

With a sigh, Lena practically dropped a plate onto Roy's lap and moved the confused man around until he was sitting with his back against the headboard.

"You must be hungry," she explained quickly before continuing with her work.

Roy stared at where he believed his food was, not sure what he was supposed to do with it. A few moments later, Lena almost facepalmed, realizing her mistake.

"I'm sorry," she murmured before picking the plate up again and sitting down on the chair next to Roy's bed.

Soon enough, Roy felt the tip of a spoon press against his lips. He grumbled inwardly, a light blush covering his cheeks in embarrassment as he opened his mouth slightly, just wide enough for the spoon to dump its food onto his tongue.

Whatever it was, it tasted like nothing, but this wasn't a restaurant and being fed by a stranger was already killing his pride; complaining would only rub it in.

So he swallowed all of it like a good boy and hesitantly waited for the next spoonful of food. Though that spoon never came.

"Leeee~" a feminine voice yelled, causing lots of people to stop with what they were doing and look up. Those who couldn't recognize the voice became puzzled while those who could abandoned their jobs and went to find safety.

Everybody who knew Annette knew how annoying she was. Somehow despite that, she was quite popular.

Lena abruptly stood up and managed to throw in an 'Oh god!' before the door was thrown open.

"Oh Lee~!" this time the voice was singing.

"Oh Annette." The amount of emotions her sister had too much was the amount Lena missed.

"Oh, don't be so moody with me!" Who was being moody here? "It's not my fault you have to hang around sick people all day." So now she had gone and said that again.

Lena decided to ignore her and went on with her work, completely forgetting Roy and his hungry stomach. Annette didn't seem to notice the lack of response and cheerfully went on.

"You know what'd be a good idea?" Oh dear, now she was going to start that again. "You should go and find yourself a guy and get laid!" Annette mused as if she had just thought up the best plan ever.

Roy was surprised by how she sounded like the female version of Maes Hughes.

Lena was all ready as red as a tomato. "J-just because you did that doesn't mean I have to do it as well!"

Annette sniffled dramatically. "Ouch, that hurt. And I just know how much more you'd love your life if you did it," she pressed on.

Silence filled the room and Roy felt incredibly uncomfortable all of a sudden. And then the worst thing ever happened.

"Say, who's your patient right now?"

Well, the worst thing that could ever happen inside of this building.

Before Lena could even open her mouth to answer, Annette squealed and pulled her out of the room. Not like it helped or anything, Roy would still be able to hear what they said.

"Oh. My. God!"

"You're happily married and even pregnant; you're not allowed to sound like that when talking about someone other than your husband."

"I know… But still! Why didn't you tell me?"

"Why would I?"

"Because… Don't you even know who he is? I know you're always working and inexperienced and stuff, but that's just…"

"Of course I know who he is. But does that mean he deserves a different treatment than the others?"

As the sisters continued to babble on, Roy stared at nothing with wide eyes. Confusion, shock and a bit of hope filled him as he replayed her words over and over again.

He could suddenly feel his heart warm up slightly at the thought of Lena. The confusion merely grew at that; why would his heart do that? Maybe he had always tested woman with his flirting, trying to find the one who would resists his 'outer-charms'? Yearned to meet the woman who would take her time to find the real him, his 'inner-charms'? He didn't know and right then he didn't really care as the conversation between the sisters faded until it was gone.
