[A slightly irritated Colonel stares at the screen.]

I absolutely refuse to work while I'm here. Consider this an extended vacation.

[Private to Edward]
By the way, happy birthday.

Then you will be in charge on the household duties while I earn our keep here, Colonel. It's all good and well it being 'free', but it feels like mooching. [B| And Ria. Does not like mooching, at all.]

[flameytaisa]

There's no need to earn 'keep', Lieutenant. Our cost is the energy they draw from us to keep that barrier up. [Which reminds him... he needs to visit the coral.]

It's not a hefty price to pay for keeping everyone alive.

[thehawks_eye]

Be that as it may, I still feel it's the correct way to do things.

And I'd rather not be seen as a burden or taking unnecessary advantage of the people's goodwill.

[flameytaisa]

... [Insert dramatic sigh here.]

All this formal training and not one bloody thing I can use it for here...

[thehawks_eye]

While out training is not as useful here, even asking around is liable to gain you some ideas.

If nothing else, you could use the chance to improve your alchemy. [And she does not mean the flame side of things.]

[flameytaisa]

[Oh, he's a grumpy man today.]

I wouldn't have gotten far in flame specific alchemy had I not practiced standard alchemy. [He knows that tone.]

[thehawks_eye]

[She's dealt with you in a blind rage. This is nothing.]

It doesn't hurt to refresh what you know.

Either is better than doing nothing, vacation or not.

[flameytaisa]

[He glances at her a moment.]

Hm.

I'll figure out something.

[thehawks_eye]

Good.

It doesn't suit you to be idle, Colonel.
