Kain Fuery squeaked, his eyes wide and staring out the window. Everyone stopped and followed his gaze. They all froze.

Walking past was Roy Mustang in a deep blue shirt and black dress pants. Close beside him was Edward Elric also in black dress pants but he wore a black shirt and his hair was loose.

"I thought you said they'd be discreet." Breda remarked.
