"You wanted to see me Mustang?" I asked as she walked through the door. I'd had been working under the for a year now, he'd become family to me.
"I have a new assignment for you, Lux. I want you to accompany one of our newest state alchemists, Edward Elric." "The Fullmetal Alchemist?" I raised my brow. Rose spoke of him during your last visit, but you didn't know anything about him besides what she had told you. "Correct. He'll be here later today to give me his latest report and the rest will be in your hands." he smirked. I headed towards the door as Mustang called my name "Lux." "Yes colonel?" I turned suspiciously, wondering what else he had to say. "Don't get too close to Fullmetal, he's caught up in serious business and I don't want you pulled into it." he didn't look up from his paperwork as he spoke, but I knew he was serious. "Understood sir." I said walking out the door ready to see who exactly this fullmetal kid was.
'Don't play with fire or you'll get burned' rang through my head as I thought about what Mustang said to me. 'What is this kid caught up in? He's only 15..' I thought staring at the ceiling fan. "UGHHHHHH" I groaned in frustration. I couldn't stand not knowing who or what I was getting myself into, normally I'd get a full report but Mustang didn't give me shit to go on! I was interrupted from my thoughts by my stomach growling; man was I hungry. 'Time to eat!' I decided as I made my way down to the cafeteria. "So. Much. Food!" I cried admiring the array of foods in front of me, tears of joy streamed down my face, remembering that it's all free. I was broke out of my trance by a light snicker; I turned around to see a blonde haired kid "What's so funny?" I barked. The kid smirked "You. Acting as if you've never seen a cafeteria before." he responded. I paused and thought about it for a second and laughed "You're right, it is pretty funny. My names Lux." I reached out my hand "Edward" He replied, shaking my hand. "Edward.." I whispered. "Edward Elric?" I asked "The one and only" He smirked. Talk about an ego… "Well I'll be accompanying you on your next assignment. Might as well take this opportunity to get to know each other a little." I smiled. Now I could finally get some answers…
