Over the Rainbow – Dancing Around the Subject
Her parents would be proud of her. Winry had most definitely grown into a beautiful young woman. And she was definitely stunning tonight: dressed in ice blue silk, hair swept up in a simple bun with wisps framing her face, and silver jewelry winking at her throat and ears. He spun her around the dance floor to a wistful tune, trying to think of some subject for polite conversation. This really wasn't the time or place to being saying 'Look, I know I killed your parents, but I was under orders and didn't know enough to disobey them, and I felt badly enough afterwards that I tried to kill myself, and I know you won't believe me, but I really am sorry and would do anything to change what happened, but since I can't, I working on changing the system, so it won't happen again, and I'm trying to protect the Elric brothers for you.' Unfortunately, that was the only thing he could think about right now. Thankfully, Winry came up with a topic on her own.
"Have you danced with Miss Hawkeye yet?"
He smiled. "Not yet. I always save her at least one dance though."
