2. Breda

Alphonse looked down at the book and frowned metallically.

He wasn't sure he believed everything he had just read, some of it had been rather strange to say the least.

"What are you reading, Al?" Breda asked as he passed the large armour.

"Just this." And he held the book up.

Breda laughed. "Oh that. I haven't seen that book in a long time." He looked around. "Just don't let Mustang catch you with that. He really hates that book."

"Is it true or just made up?" Al asked curiously.

"Some people say it's the complete truth, some say it's nothing but lies and others say there are hidden truths in it. I say it's a bit of everything." Breda lifted the book from Al's hands and flicked through it to a particular page. "Like this bit."

Al read the paragraph.

"It is widely believed that Roy Mustang has always been the suave and sophisticated man we all know so well. It surprises many to learn that Mr Mustang still retains the ability to belch the alphabet despite years of abstinence from the cruder arts."

"Is that true?"

Breda winked. "Sure as I'm standing here. I lost money on it."
