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?

No. It wasn't. [Another small twitch and a clenched fist that quickly relaxes. But he grins to cover it, carefree as can be and far too much like Maes for those who've known him.] Yeah, she's a little too set on seeing somebody becoming Fuhrer to let something like me get in the way.

[roy_mustang]

Certainly, that "cute" side of her vanished in an instant once I let go of that dream... [He shrugs with an overdone nonchalance, with one eye open to see if a flippant mention of abandoning that promise gets any reaction at all.]

[visionofzosimos]

You got a good hold of it again from what I've seen. [There's a small, annoyed frown when he says it. Roy's career being on the fast track again is part of the reason why Laz has to be kept so hush hush. Can't really have a potential Fuhrer implicated in human transmutation.] Course, I don't really get into the politics of it. I'm more of a homebody.

[roy_mustang]

A homebody, eh? [Roy can still understand why he might have attempted human transmutation, but for somebody who's given up, political aspirations are difficult to remember how to justify. Laz doesn't seem interested in being Hughes, but he can't help but wonder, if he has any traces of Maes in him at all, if he tried to go home. Had he put Gracia and Elycia through this and still had the gall to aim for the top out of sheer hubris?]

As long as you weren't in one of the main branche cities, you shouldn't be a problem... Doctor Marcoh was in Haidou just south of East City itself for about seven years without being found.

Not exactly a lot of options otherwise. Can't have a Brigadier General out and about when he's supposed to be dead - leads to all sorts of uncomfortable questions. [Again with that bitterness because cooped up under house arrest cause somebody still wants to hit that top.It sucks, bro.] Eh. Most houses in Central have a basement, yours included, and that's worked pretty well so far.

[roy_mustang]

Then you've been cooperative with the basement plan?
