Sampson began to purr and coo at being petted by Al. "I think he likes you... They only purr when there around people they like. Except for Balthazar..." She said pointing at her temperamental shadow. Sampson hissed softly as was his way of talking. Misery laughed softly, "He says a little to the left." She told him with a grin. "So why is he all grumpy? And why won't he tell me anything like the location of where we're going?"
Edward who had finished the last of his pastry fumed when he heard the last of what Misery said. "I'm Not Grumpy!" he yelled as he turned to face Misery. "We are going back to Mustang's dorm where we left the Blaze Alchemist... your sister apparently..." he looked to each of the shadow things before looking back to her "now if there are no more questions..." he turned back around "let's go…" and with that started to walk off back to the base which they were only a block from.
"Ok..." Misery said and snapped a shadow opening in front of them. "Allright everyone in." Misery said basically pushing them through the shadow only to come out in Roy's office. "I think I was a little off." She said. "Sudina there you are." She said straightening her skirt. "I told you this was faster..."
Alphonse's eyes went wide for the second time that day. "What just happened! We were on the street, then suddenly we were here, and-..." He gave up stating the obvious and just stood in his spot silently, hoping answers would be revealed to him soon.
Riza blinked shocked, and pulled out her handgun, shooting reflexively at the shadow that appeared in the Taisa's office. Sudina almost fell over at the sound of her sister's voice She wouldn't... wait who am I kidding... She would Turing her gaze slowly she not only saw her sister but Ed and Al both there as well. Quickly she turned her gaze back to Roy hoping he wasn't to unnerved by there sudden arrival... which she was so use to from traveling through it time after time with her sister. "Sir... my sister has arrived..." she said stating the obvious like she always did.
"Its something I do..." Misery said with a grin. "Well see with shadows its like a void type thingy... You go through one shadow to get to another shadow... its complicated."
Riza simply glared at
the 3 people who had shown up.
"Ed, Al! Some warning next
time" she twitched angrily, "I could have shot you by
accident!" "Not their fault they didn't know. That would
have been me. You know the one with the shadows..." Misery said
rolling her eyes. Riza twitched, "Actually, we hadn't known, we
didn't have any information on your arrival apart from your titles."
Riza looked at one of the papers in her hand, "And you would be
the Shadow Alchemist, correct?"
Edward hung onto Al as
they were forced through that... Thing, then appeared in Mustang's
office. Slowly Ed, who had been hiding behind his brother, not that
he meant to hid it was only that Al was in front of him so he
couldn't exactly be seen "If I known we would be traveling in
such a way I would have.." he said dryly as he glared at Misery
before steeping out from behind his brother "and if all the
same.. I prefer walking... That thing you did makes my head spin"
he grumbled as he walked over next to Riza and Sudina he thought her
name was.
"What are you two doing here anyway?" He
asked Sudina then looked to Misery not trusting either one especially
Misery after she nearly killed him in his opinion. "Oh and Al give
Mustang his soup before it gets to cold"
"Ah, yes. Sorry, brother," He stumbled to find words. Even with the explination he was still baffled. "Here you are, Colonel Mustang. We brought you some soup to make you feel better. I hope it helps," He held out the soup to Roy, waiting for the sick man to take it.
Sudina relaxed seeing this was getting nowhere facing Riza she explained "Yes she is... as I am the Blaze Alchemist... We are sisters... As different as day and night... But sisters never the less..." she sighed as then looked to Ed "well we were sent a letter saying to report to Colonel Roy Mustang in Central... It also said something about being assigned to work with two others but didn't say who... So here we are" she said grinning "And if you don't believe me here" she said almost shoveling the letter in his face. "It has the official seal and everything... Came directly form top"
"Correct." She replied to the woman before looking at Ed. "Stop grumbling you bloody baby I didn't kill so get over it before I do." She said arms crossed over her chest as she glared at him.
Riza turned around and smiled slightly, "Ah, hello Edward. Sudina was reporting to the taisa, I simply showed her how to get to the office. Since I had some paperwork to deliver to Colonel Mustang"
The Colonel FINALLY awoke from his nap to find a crowd of people in his office. He blinked, still a little sleepy, then yawned drowsily. His eyes adjusted slowly to the light. The fuzzy images morphed into human beings. The taisa blinked once again, surprised by so many guests.
