"And so," Armstrong said, "I think it would be an excellent project for you all to get in touch with your family history." He beamed at his companions.
Falman, Fuery, Havoc, Breda and Armstrong sat in the main cafeteria for lunch. The dimly lit room was reminiscence of a school cafeteria, which was why they normally went out for meals. That was what Mustang and Hawkeye had been smart enough to do.
They were also reminded of an elementary school setting since Armstrong had just suggested they bring an item that had family history attached to it, as a type of show and tell.
"I have a suit from my grandfather," Falman said. "It's probably been in the family for generations."
"I have an ashtray," Havoc said. The ever present cigarette was hanging from his mouth.
Fuery grinned. "That would explain a lot."
Havoc paused from patting down his pockets for his book of matches. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Okay," Breda said. "I have a pocket watch. Not for a state alchemist, just a good old watch. It's probably from my great great great great grandfather."
"Or you just picked it up from the local pawn shop," Mustang said, who had just walked through the door.
"I bet Mustang has something from his family that has been passed down for generations," Fuery said.
"Yes," Hawkeye appeared behind Mustang. "A quick temper and a talent for annoying women. Back to your desks, now."
