[Riza turns off the PCD without a word and goes to his room.]

Colonel.

[There's a heavy sigh when he sees her, and instantly he moves toward his Lieutenant awkwardly placing a hand on her shoulder but looking as if he wanted to pull her in.]

You're upset.

[She looks straight ahead, but past him, trying to appear strong even though she doesn't feel it.]

Yes, Sir.

[He's seen that look before, hated it before, still hates it, and will probably continue to for as long as she gives him it.]

... Should I hug you, and not ask?

I don't... Maybe.

[Somehow, that was the permission he needed, and very slowly he stepped closer to her, lifting his hands to slide them around her shoulders and tug her close against his body. For now he would be silent, but he'd have to ask her what was wrong soon enough. Had she been having nightmares?]

[She doesn't expect him to actually hug her, he rarely has in the past, but slowly, she wraps her arms around his torso. It's a light hug at first, but as the realization sinks in that he's comforting her, she squeezes more tightly, burying her face in the crook of his neck.]

[Their relationship had always been an odd one, and now sometimes things got a little awkward - and initially when he felt her arms around him he wondered if he'd done the right thing.

It wasn't until he felt those arms tighten that he smiled into her hair, giving her a gentle squeeze and letting one hand dip to rub her back gently.]

[That hand on her back was enough to break her shell. She took deep breaths to keep herself under control and lifted her head to rest it on his shoulder. It wouldn't do to hide the truth any longer. She had to own up to her mistakes.]

...I had an argument with Havoc.

[He flinches a little when she took a deep breath. He hadn't forgotten about the tattoo, and yet he'd still touched her there - did she mind? Was she angry? Right now, it didn't matter, she was talking and he would try his best never to touch her back again.]

... Whatever for?

He-

[She calms her voice, trying to keep the bitterness and anger out of her words.]

...He still has that stupid picture of Lust and I thought he was going to finally get rid of it, but he kept it. I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen.
