Roy mustang knew woman, better than most men actually. He had his fair share of woman and chalked up his knowledge of woman by experience.

His experience never let him down, at least not most of the time. However there was always an exception, none that Roy had ever met and that made his ego grow even more.

December had been a bitter month. Coldest December in Central for years and January wasn't showing any promises that it would be any better. In fact it would probably be worse.

January eighteen had like all the other days of January had been cold. Snowing lightly but paired with strong winds, it was the kind of weather that made someone wants to stay inside.

However for Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang it was another work day. The snow was better than the rain in his opinion but only slightly through.

She arrived promptly at nine, wearing a light jacket. Roy had a gut feeling she wore it year round. It was certainly a surprise, in every sense of the word. Any other woman would have complained about the weather, but she didn't.

Everything Roy thought he knew about woman went out the window.

Her lips were pulled together in a stern grim line. Roy got the immediate impression that she didn't smile much, but didn't all woman smile? Smiling was the natural reaction and for most women it came naturally.

Everything he had known about woman seemed not to matter now. Not with the small smile she had on her face.

Roy felt mildly annoyed by the smile. She had him figured out and he hadn't even begun to comprehend her.
