"When will you be back?"

"A couple weeks at the latest."

"Ah, ok."

"Hmm… perhaps you missed me?"

Snorting. "Hardly."

"Not counting down the days, Fullmetal."

"Why would I want to? I have a couple weeks away from you, Colonel."

Laughing. "I'm hurt."

Ed leaned his elbow on the table and had a desire to roll his eyes, only deciding not to because the Colonel wouldn't see it.

"Is there a point to this phone call?"

"I like hearing your voice?"

"Don't lie to me."

"But I'm not," Roy protested.

"I don't appreciate being toyed with," Edward said, sounding irritable.

"Oh really? That's not what you said to me a couple nights ago."

Ed slammed down the phone.
