♨ Seventeen Apples and Cinnamon - Action ♨

[crytearsofjoy]

[Winry's return to the village was quiet, and happened about a day ago. The overcast sky was uninviting, although her return brought good news for the rest of Luceti. The villainous Pride had been sent home. Despite the good fortune such a thing brought the residents of Luceti, Winry was disheartened. Yet another person from home sent back. Was

[Despite her Superior's hatred for anything, well, wet, Riza had always enjoyed the seeming calm of rain. Which, in part, was why the woman had wandered outside but it was also for the simple fact that no matter what comforts she may prefer, Hayate's training was strict enough it would lead her to go outside. Even in the rain.

However, there was a stint in their progress when the pup stopped and yipped.]Black Hayate?

[ Pausing, Riza looked at where Black Hayate was suddenly padding. Which was to Winry and the dog she remembered seeing in Resembool. ]

...Something the matter with his automail, Winry?

[crytearsofjoy]

Miss Riza! Oh, I didn't know you had a dog.

[She takes a moment to glance at the small pup.] The Sergeant found him a bit ago, I just happened to take him in.

It's Black Hayate. [Hayate, in turn, wags his tail and approaches. Without hesitation he licks Winry's hand.]

Hm. Do you need to do it inside? If it's something that can be done here I can stay with him until you can get the supplies to fix it.

[crytearsofjoy]

Oh? How cute. [She smiles, and then scratches his head between his ears.]

It would be preferable inside... [And she doesn't want to keep Miss Riza out in the rain.] I'm sure he'll be fine until we get into the smithy. Do you want to join us? It will be dry and warm.

[carrycorpses]

It seemed fitting. [Yes, a woman can name her pup after military weapons. What's this? Riza takes a moment to pat Den's head herself..]

That's good, at least. [A pause.] If it's no trouble to you, I certainly wouldn't mind.

[crytearsofjoy]

I'm sure Den can live. Right, buddy? [His tag wags in response. Winry begins to lead the way, Den following quickly after her with no leash.]
