"Will you be alright?" Roy slowed to a stop and glanced at the lieutenant, and for the first time, he saw worry written all over her face.

"I did not think you would ask a question like that." he replied smoothly. The lieutenant did not speak; Roy took the lead and started to make his way down the corridor without looking at her.

The two personnel stride across the hall way and up two rounds of stairs before coming to a stop in front of two large wooden doors, they had returned from the site of the explosion earlier and now; he was being summoned to the general's main office. Roy placed his fingers over the cold door knobs but did not turn them when he felt the presence next to him walk away. He saw her back away; she stood with uncertainty to the edge of stairs "I will just wait here, until you come back." She addressed him. Roy smirked, "I will be alright, don't worry."

He turned away from her and the gears in the knob clicked slightly, "worry does not suit you." He said it with a voice only she could hear. Riza watched with much helplessness as the last of his hem disappeared through those doors, but it was hard not to worry, though they made back to headquarters with haste; the general was not very pleased and he had let out his rage to his subordinates. The reasons of his stormy mood was clear, to her too at the end, general Marcon had not approved the destruction of the gate, Roy received permission instead from the council, to which everyone knew Marcon did not see eye to eye with. The doors closed with an ominous tone.

Oooooo
