7: Hawkeye

Al sat on the steps outside Headquarters and looked at the book in his hands.

It was all so confusing, he thought. Some of it seemed to be true and some of it wasn't. It seemed to only be telling half the truth and being misleading with the rest. He couldn't decide if the author had been a veritable genius or a certifiable madman.

"Are you alright, Alphonse?" He looked up to see Hawkeye standing beside him.

"I'm just a bit confused, Lieutenant."

She saw the book and nodded. "If it's because of that book, then I understand, Al."

He tried to explain his confusion and she nodded again.

"I think the author intended it that way, Alphonse. Look."

She took the book from him and opened it to a page before handing it back.

'Roy Mustang is known for his Flame Alchemy. He is also quite proficient in the use of small bore weapons, having once shot a perfect score in the Regional Trials during his Basic Training."

"Really?"

"Yes, but he hates the sound of gunfire, that's why he relies on his alchemy." She smiled. "If you want to know the whole truth, you should visit the author."
