Aren't those presents just tricky sometimes?

December 13th -- Riza

She had both halves of Roy's present well taken care of at last. One half of it had been shifted around quite a lot, from one person to another, simply because she couldn't keep it. She would, but Riza was sure the very day she brought it home would be the day Roy would decide to show up for a visit.

As sure as she was that he'd like it, Riza couldn't quite gauge his exact reaction. It might take a few moments to sink in she supposed. She was seriously considering taking her camera with her to give Roy his present. Or at least making sure Hughes would be there with his camera. This would hopefully result in a priceless expression.

She smiled to herself, and bent over to pick up Black Hayate at her feet, lifting him to eye level.

"Just you wait Hayate. This is going to be fun."

The pup gave her a soft bark in replied and wagged his tail. If she said it would be fun, that was good enough for him.
