A large, beautiful mansion at the edge of the street. Despite it's welcoming appearance, it's seclusion from the rest of it's neigbors and it's high iron fences reveal the owners seemlingly anti-social addittude.

I follow both men as they lead us up to the gate. Looking at the mansion and remembering Ivan's words, I get the shivers up my back. 'What kind of people does the Fuerher hang out with?'

The mansion gates were large and locked tightly, a menacing presence sealing people out from the large garden of white roses inside. Matthew took a deep breath a pressed a button located on the side of a nearby wall. There was a beep then the sound of distinct static. "Authur, are you home?" The boy called into the wall. "It's Matthew, I have some people who'd like to speak with you can we come in?"

I glance at Lotte, trying to guess her emotions.

"Are you sure about this...?" I asked Sam. We were going along with all these suspicious men we'd only just met and, to say the least, I'm nervous.

"We have to find Miss Altoire... So we have to be..." I say, glad that we were both going in with a cautious attitude.

Suddenly, the steel gates opened automatically, revealing a pathway up to the mansion. Matthew sighed once more. "Looks like he's home. C'mon, follow me" He said, leading the girls up the way. Pryde let go of they're hands and hid behind Ivan.

"I suppose I'll watch the little one,da?" Ivan asked hanging back a ways from the gate. "Seeing as he refuses to remove himself from my coat." He continued with a smile, gesturing to Pryde who simply hid farther into the mans large overcoat. Matthew nodded, continuing onwards.

Mathew lead them to the large oak door, opening it with knocking and ushering them into a large ballroom entrance. "Arthur?"

The house was massive inside just as it was externally, but it seemed fitted with only the bare nessities as if the owner had only just moved in and yet, giving off an air of being lived in for quite a long time. There was a series of portraits on a wall by a large staircase that split into two as it rose. One painting in center over powered the others, a portrait of the supposed master of the house. It was a man with deep green eyes and messy, short-cut, blonde locks with a set of rather impressive eyebrows. He sat proudly with a stern scowl pastered on his relitively fair features and was dressed in some sort of highly decorated uniform that was foreign to Amestris yet gave the man an almost regal air. On the frame of the portrait was small, gold plaque that read, 'Lord Arthur Kirkland of Brittania.' It was dusty and hard to read, but then again so were the other protraits, most of which dipicted felds of vast green or images of the same white roses that grew outside. Directly below the master painting though was not another portrait, but an old black and white photo. In it was one of the feilds filled with roses and a large picnic table centered in the garden filled with food. Sitting around the table one could make out the image of a slightly younger looking Matthew, playing with a dog of some sort, sitting beside him, violin in hand and hair tied back was Francis and beside, mouth stuffed as usual was Alfred. Alittle blonde boy was hiding from the dog under the table and their was a beautiful woman with her arms wrapped loosly around Francis as he played and lastly, sitting at the far end beside Alfred with a cup of tea and book was Arthur. They all seemed happy even the scowling lord who look as if he were scolding Alfred for something. Matthew was staring intently at the photo from his pirch by the stair and sad frown fixed on his face.

"is that you ?" I ask, noticing his saddened look.

Matthew nodded, touching the figures of Francis, himself and young woman. "We....we took this a long time ago. I didn't think anyone still had a copy of it."

I nod and then glance at the giant portrait, "it must be a very important memory too..."

"Yes, but..." Matthew looked away from the picture. "That was...a very long time ago. If Francis or Alfred knew Arthur still had this up here...I don't know how they would react."

"I'm sure that they would get stuck in that same nostalgia that you have," I say, smiling.

"What do you mean? Did something happen?" Lotte asked but quickly berated herself, "Oh, sorry! I guess that's kinda personal..."
