Hardly a creative username, but I guess there's no particular need to be; the population here is still rather sparse. Getting a name doesn't do you much good if there's nobody to play with though, does it?

You of all people should know you have to make your desires come true, not believe and wait for fate to pay you for your suffering and perseverance.

[saintedsinner]

That's what I've been working on.

[roy_mustang]

If I were there though, I guess since it means so much to one of my dear subordinated, I'd have to see to fixing that mess of a world. Don't count on getting away with being a spoiled child forever, though.

[saintedsinner]

I'm not asking for a favor. You were complaining about not being anywhere...

[roy_mustang]

Really? Well, if you're not saying you need me there, it certainly doesn't sound like something that could compete with an easy retirement like this...

[saintedsinner]

Retirement? What are you talking about?

[roy_mustang]

Well, technically I am still a corporal, but...

[saintedsinner]

Corporal? You've been demoted?

[roy_mustang]

I'd expect you not to notice certain details, but your brother never mentioned it, either?

[saintedsinner]

No. I doubt he would know, either. So what happened?

[roy_mustang]

I don't think he ever remembered me, but even Miss Rockbell kept in touch to some degree, so I'm sure he knew of me...

[saintedsinner]

Why wouldn't he remember you?

[roy_mustang]

Do you expect me to understand the finer points of the result of your transmutation? The girl from Liore stated that he should have been gone completely...

[saintedsinner]

I haven't gone anywhere. It's the Pro...

Oh. I see. You're from Al's side. Sometime in the future, I suppose.

[roy_mustang]

It seems parts of your memory were lost in that, too...

Still. So long as the two of you are still each other, you'll probably be able to find happiness.

[saintedsinner]

There was never any doubt about that.

[roy_mustang]

Most people didn't believe you'd meet again.

[saintedsinner]

That's because they're idiots.

[roy_mustang]

So, tell me something. Are you ever planning to return? Or is it enough to have your brother back at your side, wherever you are?

[saintedsinner]

Eventually. No one stays in Adstring forever.

[roy_mustang]

I'm not sure if I want you to return or not. On the one hand, your messes can be tidied up much more quickly if you're here. On the other hand, I'm enjoying not having to worry about such things.

[saintedsinner]

I'm fairly certain that if I returen, it's not going to be me.
