Being called Mr. Mustang was possibly more awkward than if she had used his first name, but he had no right to complain about it now that he was no longer a Colonel, and he didn't want to step on her limit of comfort with him

Sooner or later, she'd call him Roy, but for now it was Mr Mustang.

If Roy had stood there like a gaping idiot, it would have made her feel all the more awkward. More so that offering the invite to him had been. The fact that she was slightly stiff in her posture betrayed her unease at being in a dress, but years of training helped hide it. The fact that Roy himself looked good wasn't lost on her either. She smiled a little; He'd changed a lot from the boy her father had taken in as an apprentice. From cute to handsome. And just for the night, he was hers.

"Shall we?" she managed to hide her awkwardness with a smile, and offered her hand to him. "Thank you for agreeing to this."

He held out his arm in a proper escorting posture for her to put her hand on, and led her out of the apartment. The trip to Stockings and Lace wasn't a short one, but it wasn't exactly uncomfortable for him either. He made sure to engage in pleasant small talk with her, mostly work related cause that's the one thing they both had in common right now that they were both completely comfortable with, and by the time they got there he was quite used to how beautiful she looked and fully capable of looking at her without staring in awe.

Staring at the sign above the door, Roy took a deep breath. This was going to test both of them, but because they were both aware of the situation he was sure they could come out of this night without becoming too awkward.

"Are you ready?"

Riza let him lead the way, answering his questions and asking her own. Work related helped to settle her nerves and relax her a bit more. It was easy to fall into the old habit, even with her arm around Roy's. It felt natural. And the walk gave her time to both get used to the way the dress moved around her {too flowing and open and just. It was a dress} and to how handsome Roy was.

"Yes." It was now or never and if she backed out now, she wouldn't be able to live with herself. On the other hand, going into a place like this was - it was going to be uncomfortable for her whatever way she looked at it. At least she had Roy with her.
