Chapter 48: Discovery

Private Sheska was happy enough at her record-keeping job at Central HQ, but darn it, old habits, and old love, die hard! Roy Mustang encouraged "private indulgences" with a wink and grin, and...

"Maybe I should stop," Sheska wondered out loud as she browsed an "A-F" dictionary. She found a list of food plants that grew in Amestris, including this "cacao" bean, but what was it? She looked it up in another book, and her eyes widened. "NO WAY!"

Maria Ross hurried in. "Are you okay?" she cried. "Did something happen?"

Sheska pointed at the book's diagram, trembling. "It's the cacao bean that makes chocolate. It looks so... gross! I'm never eating chocolate again! Ugh!"

Five minutes later, Maria Ross returned... with a tray of assorted truffles! So alluring!

Sheska tentatively took one. "This changes nothing!"

Maria only smiled.
