Roy Mustang: What is it Riza?
Hawkeye: You seemed worried. Is it about Aia's Mission?
Roy Mustang: Yes it is. The mission is to hunt down Edward Elric and that scares me because he will never come back unless one of them is dead. But I am just afraid that she might die.
Hawkeye: She is a strong person Sir I don't she would leave you alone with the misfit daughter of yours and your young son.
Roy Mustang: Maybe you're right. There is probably nothing to worry about.

Roy Mustang: *sits down* I don't know what I am goanna do Gracia
Gracia: *smiles sadly* you are going to raise your children Roy. You are going to keep on living and prove she didn't die in vain
Roy Mustang: That I can do but I am always leaving on short notice. Being further and all
Gracia: Roy...you can't leave them...especially Kazuya...not the next year...you can't go on any missions for a while. Send your 2nd in command until he is old enough to take care of himself...yes... I realize how long that will be but you must
Roy Mustang: I know but I don't know the first thing about raising kids
Gracia: I'm a call away Roy. *pats his back* Roy...I know it's hard, but it really is ok to cry.
Roy Mustang: *starts crying*
Gracia: *pats and rubs his back* that's it, let it out
Roy Mustang: I don't know what I am going to-do Akari will be turning the age that she will have to take that alchemy exam and Kazuya is only 1
Gracia: *pats him and keeps rubbing his back* you will figure it out...now isn't the time for that...Now is the time to grieve Roy...let go of the future for right now...
Roy Mustang: your right Gracia.... right now I gatta think about the kids. Am I right with that at least?
Gracia: *shakes her head* No Roy...Akari and Kazuya will stay here tonight...You need to think about Astraia and grieve...it's not healthy to ignore what happened
Roy Mustang: *looks at her* are you sure this is the right thing Gracia
Gracia: Yes. Grieve for her Roy. Only then can you move on.
Roy Mustang: ok there is 1 more problem
Gracia: What is that Roy?
Roy Mustang: It is in the trunk of my car
Gracia: Aia I presume?
Roy Mustang: Yea
Gracia: * nods* Stay here tonight then Roy...Akari could use the comfort...and just let it out. Cry for her.
Roy Mustang: Ok thank you Gracia
Gracia: *smiles and walks out giving him privacy to grieve*
