"YOU LET HIM WHAT!?" Roy exclaimed. Riza sighed once again. "We had little choice. He ask to be a soldier in order to combat the creature you see dead before you. We decided it was best to allow him to join if he pledge to aid us... Riza stopped for a moment and observed the beast corpse which was now being surrounded by military and hospital staff. She thought to herself how amazing it was that even if a weaken state that this homunculus was capable of defeating a creature that half a dozen well trained soldiers could not do. She then looked back at Mustang. "This isn't a horrible choice, if the creature can help us defeat these... beings it could potentially become an amazing soldier. It's obvious now that it doesn't want to harm humans nor does it want to be a burden to us. I need to speak to my superiors and back to the doctor before I can confirm anything further but if he's trainable we all could benefit by his choice." Riza saluted the coronel and walked back within the infirmary, she still needed to stick to her duty and protect the homunculus.The doctors and nurses that had brought Gluttony in were now simply staring at him, Gluttony return his own blank stare. They couldn't do anything til the head doctor arrived. Once he did he looked at the situation. "Alright everyone I want 2/3 of you to leave"
A doctor questioned him, "But that would leave only you and a nurse"
The head doctor looked at him and sweatdroped, "There's much too many people in this room, all it potentially doing is making the homunculus nervous. I only need a nurse to have a look at him. If he's well enough to be moving and looking about as he is I don't believe we need anything further here than a quick examanation"
The others simply shrugged and left, leaving but one nurse. Doctor Smith walk over to Gluttony and spoke to him. "Alright Gluttony, were just going to have a look at you to make sure you're alright since you got sick outside. We aren't going to harm you so don't worry"
Gluttony looked at the doctor, his stomach still didn't feel that good and his throat burned. He simply nodded a response.Riza was on the phone. She had called one of her superiors to see what his opinion was. "Colonel Hawkeye, that was a very unpleasant decision you made. If we say no to the homunculus it will most likely loose all trust in us"
Riza replied.
"The homunculus, Gluttony, showed great interest in joining our cause...even going to the extent of risking its health to aid us defeat one of those unsual beasts. I really think he should be givin a chance to show if he is able to be a soldier"
The superior officer responded. "Very well, he's your homunculus now. Train him and we'll find him a fitting rank. Though be careful, this could a trap. As far as we know he could still be working for a superior being"
Riza was suprised. He not only will allow Gluttony to join but was going to put him under her guidence. This was perfect, that way Gluttony wouldn't need to deal with more new people and she could keep him out of trouble. She was in no way afraid of him, unlike most others.
"Yes sir!" She responded.
"I'm counting on you." The superior officer said, hanging up the phone afterwards.
Riza put the phone back on the receiver and walked towards the room where the examination of Gluttony was taking place. She just needed to ask the head doctor how Gluttony could learn best. Learn the ways of being a dog of the military."You'll be fine.The doctor said, finishing his check up on Gluttony. I think all you need is to rest a bit. If your stomach still bothers you in an hour we'll give you something to relax it"
"But I'm hungry..." Gluttony said putting his index finger into his mouth. he hadn't eaten in a very long time and even with his stomach upset he still wished to feed.
The doctor was very suprised by this, he had just got very ill and now he wanted food. He was indeed an odd being, but from his previous exam he knew Gluttony's stomach was very large and probably needed a great deal more nurishment in order for it to be satisfied. "I'll get a nurse to bring you something once your back in your room, ok"
Gluttony remove his index finger from his gullet and licked his lips. Finally he could feed again. He bounce a bit, an sign that he was rather excited. The nurse left for a moment and brought back a wheelchair large enough for Gluttony's large buttocks. She was followed by Riza Hawkeye. She saluted Doctor Smith. "May I speak to you for a moment?" she asked.
The Doctor nodded and signal for the nurse to leave with Gluttony. She patted the seat and Gluttony sat down. He enjoyed the short ride he had on the wheelchair, it was fun. Once in his room again he sat on his bed, the nurse help him to lay down. "You just rest, I'll be back with something for you." She left and Gluttony was alone. He looked around and waited for his meal the thought never crossing him that he now was a dog of the military.
