Chapter forty-four: Yvette

Yvette had long black hair and a beautiful face… What Roy loved in a woman.

"I didn't suspect you so soon, Miss. Yvette." Roy smiled. "You're prettier than I thought. Then again, you don't let many see your face.

Yvette shoved him Coniniaue. "Take this cat away from me…"

Roy took Coniniaue and clamped a hand over her mouth. "I'm so sorry. This is Edward's cat, Fluffy."

"Her name is NOT FLUFFY!" Edward growled, snatching Coniniaue and putting her on his shoulder. "Her name is… Trisha. After my mom."

"Whatever."

Yvette looked at Edward. "So you're that twelve year old kid they let in a few years ago. Usually kids your age are drooling by now."

"Sorry, I'm married."

Yvette glared. "Cute."

"No, he really is." Roy sighed. "He's married to Coniniaue Tommy, or Coniniaue Elric, now."

Edward lifted his hand to show his wedding ring.

"Oh my God." Yvette muttered. "Even the LAW is letting kids slip past. I really got to get married…"

"So do I."

"Shut up, Mustang."

"It was worth a try."

"So, Mr. Elric, where is your wife now?"

"Coniniaue is…"

"OFF! On a mission."

"Ah."

Coniniaue was climbed around Edward's body. It was amazing, what you can do with claws. She dug into one of his pockets and pulled out a small canteen of water. She climbed to his neck and whispered, "What the hell is this?"

"Water from the waterfall."

Something suddenly occurred to Coniniaue. She stole the canteen and dropped to the ground, pulling on his jacket with her teeth. Edward blinked. "What is it, eh, Trisha?"

Coniniaue pulled until she dragged off his red jacket. She pulled it around to the other side of Mustang's desk where no one could see her and poured the water on her head.

As a human, she put on Edward's jacket and held it tight, one hand below her breasts, the other above her waist. She stood up, soaking wet, and sat, "Hey, all…"

"Coniniaue!" Edward dashed over and hugged her. "What the Hell?"

Yvette blinked. "Where did she come from?"

"I've been here the whole time…"

"But that cat, she stole Edward's jacket… And now you have it."

"Yeah, about that…"
