Unfortunately, you do not look like any of my daughters. And... *pauses for a second* You don't look like me or their father, nor anyone in our family. You cannot be our unborn child.
But if you are my alter's child, I will not mind you calling me dad, or taking care of you. Do you already have a place to stay?
Well...I'm not his...I'm Dad's adopted child, to be honest. When I was 10, Dad told me that I was given to him by my mother as an infant. But to me, he is my real Dad. And nobody can replace him. Or Uncle Maes, or Auntie Riza.
I--I couldn't trouble you like that! I mean...I'm sure Dad would probably be more comfortable with me living with another version of him, but...
You would not be bothering me. I would feel relieved myself if my daughters were being taken care of if I was unable to be with them. You will come with me.
Alfons, is it? My name is Roy Mustang, but you may call me dad if you don't want to use Roy.
I will not mind being called dad or Roy. My daughter might find it funny if you call me dad, maybe, but... You use the one that is less awkward for you. *he missed Elysia calling him mommy before his own daughter appeared, so he will not complain if this child decides to call him dad*
...We just need to find a room for you now. Hmm... Guess it's time to start working.
No, no. There is no need for you to find a job. How old are you? Fifteen? I meant I need to work. We were going to build new rooms in Maes' house, but I was putting it off. Now it is time to work. You will certainly not sleep outside.
I'm fourteen. You managed to get close though. Normally people think I'm 17, or 19... But I've had jobs since I was 10. Dad thought it would be a good idea to teach me responsibility as a little kid. I've worked at a restaurant, a farm, an inn, as a babysitter, and even as a tutor.

No. But it's good to know I am a father in some world.

...I wouldn't? I-I mean...I guess you're right...
...That wouldn't be weird for me to call you that?

...I can always sleep outside, if you don't have room. I do have a tent...
I'll get a job, too.

If you really want to work... But I still do not think it is a wise idea. You should study instead.
Come with me, I will show where you are going to live for now... Then I can start getting some work done.
