"Colonel, wake up."
"Five more minutes."
"Colonel, you should get up and stretch or something."
"Can you do that for me?"

Mustang groaned at his misfortune.
Administrative papers…
But he knew just the solution.
He stacked the files on top of one another and made a nice neat pile on his lap.
He nudged his rolling chair to the edge of his table and looked over to see how far he'd have to make the shot to his Lieutenant's desk.
And push!
He stopped midway because the one of the chair's wheels got caught on a slightly upraised tile on the floor, which Mustang hadn't calculated into his route.
"Um…Lieutenant?" he asked, to the subordinate who was already out of her chair and picking up the papers.
"Also…could you push me back, please?"

"Morning, Lieutenant," he said when she came by his desk.
"Colonel, what are you doing?"
"I'm scribbling on paper," he replied, displaying his proudly drawn doodles.
"…why?"
"Did you know that doodling is an indicator of an active mind?"
"No, I was not aware."
"In fact, I'm feeling quite bored right now. I'm going to take a stroll so I don't feel lazy."
Hawkeye returned to her seat but noticed Mustang looking over his all of his subordinates' shoulders. She didn't say anything nor did she know what he was doing. Eventually he was overlooking her own shoulder.
"What are you doing, sir?" she asked.
"I'm making sure that my subordinates are on task."
"They probably are," she said, not adding, 'more than you are.'
"It's my responsibility to do that, so I still have to monitor anyway."
"You have work to do."
"Right, but I'm responsible enough to put others as a priority."
"Do your work."
Reluctantly: "…okay."
