This just keeps getting better and better. I absolutely -adore- the manipulation that's going on here, and so subtly. It takes a good villain to get folks believing that things are in their best interests.
"Yeah, who would have thought someone that tiny could pack such a punch? You know, I don't think he even weighs a hundred pounds with the automail off. What a spitfire." Midnight shook his head admiringly. "Oh, don't worry, I'll turn him into a useful cog, you'll see. To start with I think a week in solitary might make him more receptive." Midnight picked up a few of Dunns papers and set them back on the desk. "Guilt seems a good motivator, too. And he's very loyal to those he loves." Midnight smiled. "I have six months to work with. That's quite a bit of time. And if it's not enough, I'll simply provoke him until he's earned a bit more."
Dunn touched his neck; he still felt the sting of Fullmetal's grip. "Better you than me."
Well, damn the clever manipulative bastard. He observant, I'll give him that.
But I'm love Ed fighting and never giving up. That's the Ed I love. <3
