Chapter 7
Engaging the Elric Boys
He finally does. I follow behind him.
"I can't believe that Mustang flipped out on us!"
"Brother, she's - " the other starts.
"I mean, the whole place stood silent so they could listen in! That was so embarrassing! His face got all red and everything!"
"Edward, she's right there!"
"Who?" He turns around and sees me. "You!"
"Yes, me. So, I'm curious. What did Mustang say to you?"
"Who are you?"
"Maybe your best friend, or maybe your worst enemy." I state.
"Which one?"
"Are you really the FullMetal?"
"Yes."
"You're shorter than I thought." I'm rudely blunt, I guess.
"SHORT? WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT YOU COULD WALK ALL OVER?" He freaks out.
"I was talking about you. Now, tell me, what did he say?"
"Maybe I'm too SHORT to tell you!"
I turn to the other one. "What was it he said?"
"He said we have no right to go snooping around like that and to leave her out of everything. He compared us researching her to walking down a dark alley with a slasher inside."
"AL!" Edward shouts.
"Thank you, Elric. Your valiant efforts are appreciated." I say monotonously.
"So who the Hell are you?" Ed snaps.
"Long story. Would you like to sit?" I sit on a bench. They do the same. I move aside my bangs and show them my mark. I tell them everything. Well, not everything, but all that they need to know, minus the fact that I'm Eliza.
I told them nothing more than necessary.
