"If, in the event Al gets hit by another LOL that turns him into a catboy, I catch him in some sort of fanservicey outfit, I'll have a heart attack on the spot."
"And there have certain been times when it would have been nice to have a "Whack Your Boss With A Dead Fish" Day back home.
"There is that... And hopefully, he'd have had the sense to either get out of range before I came to, or to go change." Ed considers. "Actually, I'd probably be back to being alive before I was done falling."
"And very probably." Ed snickers. "Right now, I'm picturing pretty much everyone in the office flinging dead fish at Colonel Mustang."
"He can be when he wants to. I've given up on the amount of short jokes he's made at my expense and I have to wonder what the goddamn point to some of the missions he's sent me on were, he drives Riza batty by waiting until the last moment to do his damn paperwork, he has a habit of stealing Havoc's girlfriends..."
Ed pauses then adds "Not that he realizes he's doing that to him. It's not his fault the bitches dump Havoc for the guy with the pretty looks and flashy rep."
Ed winces. "And now I'm kind of making the Colonel sound like a total asshole. He isn't, I promise. Just a pain in the ass to work for sometimes. He's the guy that convinced me to become a State Alchemist in the first place. And without him doing that, I never would have had the resources I needed to go looking for, if not the Philosopher's Stone itself, at least how to make it. For all the good it's done me."

She snickers. "That's something I'd want to see. He's your old boss?"

Ed just stares at Faye in horror for giving him that image.
"Yeah, Mustang was my former superior officer."

"Ah. Bit of a jerk, was he?"

"Eh-heh." Ed just studies the tops of his boots for a moment.
