"All right." Alphonse pointed at a map that he had spread across the kitchen table. "We know that Riza's got Fury and Breda on constant surveillance. We also know that Havoc's on your side, and Farman's neutral."
"Right. Though I believe he's more on my side since the Lieutenant took away some of his drinking time." Roy nodded, not surprised at Alphonse's analytical response.
"So... if we could get Havoc to draw away Fury, that leaves Breda, who we can outrun."
Roy added, "The Lieutenant herself will be busy with the sudden influx of orders from Headquarters. So that threat's neutralized..."
Alphonse quickly counted on his fingers, then smiled. "And I think I can get Armstrong to help us out, too. You got the reservations, right?"
Tapping his pocket, Roy nodded. Then, he slowly frowned. "Alphonse... arranging a date between the two of us should not be more difficult than running the Drachman campaign."
The young man looked up, and smiled. "I know... but I think I like when you're commanding and taking charge. That makes it more fun when I conquer you."
Despite himself, Roy had to laugh. "In the bedroom, perhaps. But leave the military to me."
