A knock at the door, and the blonde woman glanced up from her work. She glared for a second, at when Mustang would have been, but wasn't at the moment. Nor, was anyone else. Out for lunch, they said. Yeah right! Probably avoiding work…

Edward stormed in the room, looking ready to shout at a certain flame alchemist, but he stopped, looking put off. He looked around, at first not noticing her. "Lieutenant Hawkeye, do you know where Mustang is?" He cast her a questioning gaze, and she only shook her head.

"Not quite, but I have an idea of where he, and the others went. But, its only an idea." She calmly glanced down at her paperwork, and then back to the eldest elric. "You could go try and find him, or you could wait." Another pause. "Why though?" She didn't need to really ask. She already knew in her mind, what about.

He shrugged, "I wanted to shout at him for sending me on a pointless mission, on which Al and I nearly died." A shadowy smile crossed her lips for a moment, before she replied. "I see." Ed nodded, and sat down on the nearby couch, "You do."

Silence gripped the room for a few moments, before the alchemist sighed. "Dammed braid…" He was muttering, as he pulled his now loose hair forward. He attempted to braid it, but soon gave up. That gloomy silence was back.

"Riza, do you mind helping me braid my hair? It's loose, and Al usually does it. Right now though, he's not around." She smiled, and set her pen down. "Sure. Since your useless at braiding your hair." He was just about to argue, but stopped short, "Yeah, I am."

A/N Yes, I did this as a request from igbogal. I hope you enjoy it! This was one of my better ones it seems! This pairing is clearly EdxRiza, and I rather like it!
