Title: In the Margin V
Author: SammyQuill
Series: Manga
Word Count: 243
Characters: Roy, Riza, Master Hawkeye
Summary: More excerpts from Roy’s alchemy notebooks
AN: Is the Big Bang deadline scaring anyone as much as it is me?
Roy Mustang's Alchemy Notes - July 4th
Have been bored out of my mind these last few days as Master Hawkeye takes a few days off to go into the woods and recharge himself. Yeah right, I’ve seen that man stay awake for fifty hours straight and still be chipper enough to command a battalion. Riza seems to be dealing with her father’s absence well. Or rather, she is going about her work as always. Not that its disappointing of course, it’s not like I thought things would be different were the two of us left alone at home.
But suffice to say I was expecting a little more than to be handed a mop when I dropped by the kitchen earlier and asked if there was anything I could do to help.
In fact, she seemed restless all day and after dinner, instead of retiring to the library as is her habit, she invited me to join her out in the back garden where we were treated to a wonderful display of fireworks fifteen minutes later. Miss Hawkeye recounted to me an odd legend that had sprung in the village around said flames and how they happened every year in summer - subsequently around the same time Master Hawkeye made his yearly camping trips.
Miss Hawkeye looked quite fetching in the warm firelight...
It was also, of course, completely coincidental that at that point, the flames carved themselves into an alchemic symbol of caution.
