If Riza is keeping her ears sharp, then she might hear Lea before the energetic redhead even pops up onto the scene. After all, when on the clock, he always wears his A-T skates, and he's found making deliveries for Victori Garden made so much easier when he wallrides.

Whistling along, he makes the leap, narrowing his eyes in concentration as he skates along the wall of a building... Only to lose his momentum and have to make a hasty drop. He almost lands right on the poor blonde, but twists and avoids crashing into her at the last second.

"Sorry!"

[thehawks_eye]

"Ah!" Riza blinked once at the poor boy, before moving to help him up. UIf she was honest with herself, she had heard the sound, but had no idea what it was. Now she new, or so it seemed.

"Are you alright?"

[behisstrength]

Motochika walked along with his shamisen braced over a shoulder, headed towards the forest; he paused, however, upon seeing the wide-eyed expression Riza wore. He was aware that many new arrivals had shown up recently -- it would do no harm to engage one or two.

"You were recently swept under?" he questioned, mildly curious.

[thehawks_eye]

"Yes, I was. A few days ago." She blinked at the new person, eyes travelling to the shamisen he carried with him. She was curious and her emotions, still so raw from the near death experience, showed the curiousity that she felt about everything.

"Might I ask what that is?"

[behisstrength]

"Welcome to Vatheon," Motochika said, then moved his shamisen down from his shoulder, so that she could get a better look; he also untucked his bachi from where it was sat in the sash at his waist.

"This is a shamisen." He wouldn't insult her intelligence; it was obviously a musical instrument. "You've never encountered one?"

[thehawks_eye]

"Thank you. Vatheon's quite amazing, is it not?" Riza took a few moments to look over the instrument, then shook her head in a 'no'. "It looks like it could be from Xing though. I assume you use those sticks to play another instrument?"

[flameytaisa]

Typical. "Yes, yes, that's the thing to be doing with recent open neck wounds. Sneak out while he took a shower. He sighed, towel drying the rest of his messy black hair. He sighed heavily, slipping on his military uniform (he just didn't feel right without it), and started out to find the woman missing from his apartment.

He asked several people if they'd seen her. Most had not, but enough had indicated enough direction to catch up with the Lieutenant. "You must be feeling much better," he said.

[thehawks_eye]

"A bit." Riza wasn't even surprised that he'd found her. Not really - She knew it'd only be a matter of time. "It's nice to get out."

And no, she wasn't even sorry. The exercise and fresh air had been good and yes, she'd been careful of her wounds.

[flameytaisa]

"Understood." He made a bit of a neutral face. He'd been pretty anti-social upon arrival here, that was no secret. Yeah, Roy had established contact with the Elrics, and had that... epidemic with Winry, but for the most part, he'd been antisocial.

He hadn't expected her to be sorry. "... What, do you expect me to be angry with you? You know your capabilities." It was true. Though, he was panicked enough about her condition. It was weird that it would be healed so quickly. Still, Roy reasoned that he would like to explore the city as well. And why not by the side of the Lieutenant.

[thehawks_eye]

"I did leave without telling you." She shrugged though. If a reprimand was coming, it would come and she wouldn't protest it, though it didn't seem like one would come.

"Indeed." She wasn't 100%, but cabin fever had driven her out and about, not that she'd admit to a weakness still, or that she wasn't fully healed, even with as much help as the magic had been.
