[There is something hollow and raw about her voice. It could have something to do with the fact that she spent the night on the floor of Roy Mustang’s apartment. Not sleeping, unwilling to get up. It could be the weight of this unfathomable loss, hollowing her out since she saw the body yesterday ( Read more... )

I believe you, Riza. I've had experience enough with Yazoo to know that killing him in self-defense is entirely within the realm of... well. Likeliness, really. And I've had experience enough with you to know that you are no vigilante killer.

It's fine.

And. I understand your request. I hope it doesn't come to that.

Private firebornfidelis April 14 2011, 05:36:09 UTC

... thank you, Priscilla. I know how it must look, considering.

[Considering the dead. Who those bodies were. Considering what happened last time.]

I'm... not prepared to hope anything. I've been... so lucky. It can't last.

Private yetsleeping April 14 2011, 08:31:28 UTC

It doesn't look any way. I trust you.

[A little nod.]

I'm not sure I would say you've been especially... lucky, though. Do you really think so?

Private firebornfidelis April 14 2011, 16:09:55 UTC

All three of us - the Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, and myself - have returned from the dead before. That should be impossible but we've all done it. I'd say that's lucky.

But we've never been especially lucky people. They won't come back again.

Who.

[Just one syllable, but it's low and even, not in her usual manner of speaking. Aside from the part where she clearly expects an answer.]

Who did it?

PRIVATE voice o.o firebornfidelis April 14 2011, 03:49:37 UTC

I did.

[She's nothing if not honest.]

PRIVATE ...that should say voice. why did i type video. ladyofthesouth April 14 2011, 04:12:38 UTC

[Oh, Riza.]

You're a brave woman. I hope you realize you were doing him a favor. I should thank you, my dear.

[Only hey surprise she doesn't sound thankful. At all.]

And his body?

PRIVATE ... your fingers betrayed you firebornfidelis April 14 2011, 05:17:21 UTC

I didn't do it for him and I don't care what he wanted. If he killed those men solely with the goal of being killed himself, fine. It doesn't matter to me.

[Funny, she doesn't sound particularly intimidated.]

I left it there.

[This is Reid, sounding tired.]

I suppose that all depends on which definition of "all right" you're using.

[voice | Private] firebornfidelis April 14 2011, 05:04:03 UTC

What definition are you using, then?

[voice | Private] threedoctorates April 14 2011, 23:09:13 UTC

The "I think I managed about 10 minutes of uninterrupted sleep" one?

[He's attempting to make a lame joke, Riza.]

[voice | Private] firebornfidelis April 15 2011, 04:40:17 UTC

Well. That's something anyway.

[Sorry, Reid. She's got no sense of humor at all right now.]

It isn't the duty of a Patrol officer to pursue a criminal.

[ voice | police filter ] firebornfidelis April 15 2011, 07:01:21 UTC

I am aware of that. But my choices were to either pursue him as it was or call the police and risk letting him get away.

[ voice | police filter ] xnoble_reasonx April 16 2011, 03:44:47 UTC

[ Putting aside he already knows there was an officer on site... ]

Killing him was unnecessary.

[ voice | police filter ] herp derp firebornfidelis April 16 2011, 04:28:59 UTC

I will submit to your decision if you believe my actions warrant punishment.
