Log:
The cold hasn't exactly been doing a great job at relenting in Johto, mostly due to the fact that weather has a habit of doing whatever it wants, and even on good days Johto's idea of "vaguely warmer" is not Amestris' idea of "vaguely warmer." As such, some of that money from "Mom" - or at least, Selim assumed it was from the mother-figure; he'd just kind of found it in his bag - had gone toward warmer clothes. He intends to save the jacket that's warm enough for long travels in the snow but manages to make him look like a vaguely demented marshmallow with a head for when he actually needs it; he's got the gloves and scarf on, though, along with the...uh,
outfit that had been provided for him. It's not really anything a kid would normally choose to wear, but he is the son of the Fuhrer; he's used to being shoved in all manner of weird outfits, and this is at least warm.
Sloth has also made travel much, much easier since his arrival in Johto, given that he has a much easier time traveling through the snow; he's pretty much eight feet of massive derp, in comparison to Selim's amazing four-foot-nothing. However, Sloth does actually tire here, much to Selim's annoyance; as much as he would like to continue pressing onward until they find something relevant to anything, he can't risk upsetting his giant gothy mode of transportation, and as such Selim is willing to allow Sloth time to sleep today.
That's fine, however; he actually has business to attend to; after a few minutes of fiddling with the 'Gear, he's managed to get it to (...hopefully) connect with the one belonging to that soldier he had spoken to a while back.
Maes Hughes...
"Ah, Mr. Hughes!" Selim's voice is energetic at the prompting from Hughes' Gear to start talking. "It's Selim Bradley...I think I've gotten to another city, and I was wondering if you were around; you said you would be coming out this way? I'd like to know where to meet you either way - I'm really looking forward to it!"
...of course, he also needs to know where Hughes is going to be so he can know when he can afford to ditch his massive pet Homunculus for this little meeting of theirs, but...details...
