Rana laughed warmly at Alphonse's antics. "Alright, I'll try to make friends with him. But why wouldn't I talk to him because of the automail?" she asked, a puzzled look crossing her face. "My father...he has an automail leg, but nobody seems to mind that."

Alphonse sat back down with a sigh. "I..." He frowned, "Sometimes, I don't understand why? I guess...it's because he's so young and he's missing an arm and a leg...it's not really common around central." He turned away. "There was this one time, back when Nii-san was a major...he was sent to an undercover mission to investigate this private school that was supposedly hiding weapon shipments to Drachma." the boy fiddled with his hands, eyes downcast. "General-well back then he was a Colonel- Mustang thought Ed would be the best since he was actually the right age to be in that school, but...My brother and I were homeschooled for most of our lives. We never went to a real school before." He smiled, "Nii-san was actually excited, but the school was filled with snobs who had never seen automail before and they teased him for it. That, and because he was smarted then them, and he has a bad temper. It didn't help that we're from deep in the country either. It was hell for Ed. He wouldn't stop telling me about it when he got home...I just couldn't understand how people could be...so mean and it wasn't even only the students! Teachers too!"

"Yeah, but this is the military. We're not all a bunch of spoiled brats," Rana shrugged, pausing in thought. "Well, most of us aren't, anyway."

I nod at What this new girl Parva said. “When I was a little girl I was told that the people of this military were blood thirsty villains. Boy were they wrong.” i laugh mirthfully. ... “welll i still suspect that that Miss Riza might be a little.... I saw her shooting at this poor black haired man the other day.” I say thoughtfully as i tap my chin.

"General Mustang?" Alphonse Laughed. "Don't worry, he's her husband."

my eyes widen at that and i grasp Alphonse’s hand. “her husband! this country truly is dangerous than..i mean if woman are shooting their own husbands. Such horror you as a male must go through to have to be controlled by women.” i say in wonder. this country is truly diffrent than my own..why if it was my country women would obey the husbands...and they certainly didnt shoot each other.

Rana chuckled at the cat-girl-person. "Yeah, you're obviously new here. General Hawkeye...she's about the best marksman you could get. She could have a sniper rifle on us right now, and we wouldn't even know it." The Private paused for a second, before lowering her voice. "And I heard she never misses. Ever."

Alphonse laughed alittle nervously, pulling his hands away. "Yeah...she never does, unless it's on purpose..." He leaned to whisper at them. "But really, the only one who has to worry about that is General Mustang...For some reason he never learns. Nii-san says he's a glutton for punishment." He smiled fondly. "And you shouldn't always believe everything your brother tells you Alphonse." Spoke a voice from behind and they all turned to see General Mustang, his wife and the Fuehrer standing at the entrance. "His vision is usually blocked by some higher obstackle." The man finished and Alphonse flushed.

Rana stood up and bowed slightly in recognition to the three. "Hello, sir, ma'ams," she said.

"Hello, Private." Roy answer moving to sit beside Alphonse and Riza followed with a nod. Faith stood leaning against the door, and unreadable expression on her face.

Rana sat back down, once again feeling rather upset about her failure. "I...suppose there's no news on his condition?"

Faith looked up as everyone turned to her, seeing as without Alphonse she was the only one the doctors spoke too. She raised an eyebrow, and sighed, not looking them in the eye. "...it seems Colonel Elric has contracted a rather, strange case of...bronchitis. Aparently, it's stress induced and hereditary....he's been basically working himself to death." She shrugged, "The doctors are running some more tests to be sure, but they practically ordered me to make him take some leave time to recuperate. They obviously don't him. The little brat never listens."

Rana sighed, holding her forehead with one hand while clenching onto the edge of her chair with the other. "Once he gets out of here, I should keep him from work for a couple days, correct?" she asked, unsure of whether to direct the question to the Fuehrer or General Mustang.

General Mustang smirked and spared a glance at faith who once again sighed. "Actually, it seems I've decided to send both you and Colonel Elric on a little...vaction. Alphonse I'm sure your reletives in Resembul won't mind a few geusts?" Alphonse raised an eyebrow, so releived that his brother would be fine he failed to really process the rest of the conversation. "A few geusts?" faith chuckled. "Well, ofcourse! Your brother will be allowed to continue his research while resting and the private here needs to complete her assignment from General Mustang. I also thought MIss. Chan would like to accompany you, I hear Resembul is beautiful this time of year. Shame I can't go with, but I am paying for the train so don't worry over those matters!"

my eyes sparkle at the prospect of a vacation and i jump in the air. “Yayy vacation! The only thing better than traveling is catnip and a good book.” i say excitedly still jumping up and down. However i than remember my last travel and stopped becoming gloomy. “If only i had a sense of direction.. i am sure to get lost just like i did coming to this country.” i sink into a emo corner.

"Resembul?" Rana asked, arching an eyebrow. "Sorry, ma'am, I've never heard of that place. May I ask where it is?" Beneath her formal demeanor, Rana was actually quite excited. She had only been out of Central a few times, and that was to train in the East under Generals Mustang and Hawkeye and visit her newly-relocated family in the South.

I snap out of my stewing to dig through my bag and brought out a map of this country and handed it to her as i pointed at where Resumbel was. “It’s right here.” I say brightly.
I had piked umm... borrowed the map from some other travelers when i had managed to arrive here. They even made it themselves.. I knew this because it said property of Izumi Curtis on the back of the map.which also happened to also be the name on her ID that was in her wallet. I sorta felt bad about it..but hey A kitty needs to eat. Besides..what were the chances of me seeing that lady again?

"Resembul is a small rural villiage in the east." Alphonse elaborated with a smile. "It's where my brother and I were both born and where the rest of our family lives." [AN//: This Pariah story follows the series of novels "Legacy of Flammel" written by Edouard Casse' based of Fullmetal Alchemist. It it Winry's mother was Trisha's elder sister, making Winry and Pinako related to the Elrics.] He pointed to the map. "It's out pretty far, close to Ishbal so not many people have heard of it."

Rana nodded, although slightly overwhelmed. She had just gotten to Central, now she was being sent back to the East?
