He lost his breath. Laughing turned to panic when the old woman came in the room.
Come on, Crimson said. Where is the flame alchemist's famed control?
"My My, Mr. Mustang, what happened to the self control you are so reputed for?" the old lady echoed.
"Who are you?" roy demanded.
"Oh deary me, how inconsiderate of me." Roy felt rage building up inside him. Kimblee's own eagerness to attack the woman brought him near to bursting.
"Inconsiderate!" He hissed. "Ordering Jezeb- lust- to lure me here for a romantic weekend then attacking me. Having some shape shifting monster take my place in the military to destroy it from within. Having me chimerized with the man I hate more than anyone!"
Hey, I resent that. I've done nothing to you to earn your hate.
"Its a pleasure to meet you," the old lady talked right over top of his tirade, "lieutenant colonel Kimblee. I am Dante. Father to the homunculi, who are not creatures, they are my children. Lust did not lure you here falsely, she intends to fulfill her promise of a romantic weekend... after Envy has betrayed the trust of your subordinates and she is free to return to her plaything. And now that Kimblee's disobedient soul is dead, and you have been robbed of your ulterior motives and your support group, you will be moulded into a proper puppet and I will give you psotion, wealth, and my blessings to marry Lust."
"K-k-kim..."
Why should it cause you physical pain to say my name?
Roy vomited in Dante's lap. She smiled and patted his head,
"You've had an exhausting day. I will let you rest, zolfie."
Zolfie?! I'll blow her into tiny pieces!
"No!" Roy protested in disgust.
Dante assumed he protested rest. "Sleep," she told him. "That is an order."
Roy felt himself pulled into slumber, his eyes already closed before she closed the door.
So she thinks I'm dead does she? Hah, I'd love to be her last surprise!
The (sound?) of Kimblee's thoughts stirred him to fight against sleep.
"Why can't I..." slumber enveloped him wwith an iron grip.
You're gonna just do what she tells you? Kimblee's (voice?) Shook him awake.
"I can't..." He tried to explain that he was losing the battle against sleep
WAKE UP!
"Augh!" He hit his head on the canopy as he jumped into battle stance.
Put your arm down, you look ridiculous. He put his arm down,and climbed off the bed.
"What is going on?!" He gasped.
I've been wandering through your memories, and-
"What? Don't!"
And! Reading that array.
"Stay out of my memories!"
My mind and soul were supposed to die in the transmutation,
"I wish!"
-but her array was meant to balance, so when she deconstructed the independence in your mind and soul-
"She WHAT!"
I replaced it.
