[There is a woman wandering around the Entrance, attempting quite valiantly to stay upright. One hand is pressed tight against a wound at her throat, fresh but no longer bleeding; considering the amount of blood coating her skin, her clothes, and even the loose, long strands of blonde hair trailing down her back, this is probably for the best.

But it looked pretty bad.]
Lieutenant-!
[No really, how much can one person bleed?]

Edward! [automatically she scans him, up and down and back again. He doesn't look injured, no more missing limbs, everything metal still in place as far as she can tell.] You're alive, that's good--

[She doesn't really bother trying to hide her disgust, and fumbles (albeit somewhat weakly) for one of the weapons strapped to her everywhere, for all the good it will do.]
Only a fool tries the same trick twice.
[of course she thinks he's the homunculus who she was pretty sure the Colonel had just incinerated not a half hour ago. She stumbles a bit as she tries to release the safety on her pistol, pitching forward slightly.]

LIKE, AS BAD AS HE WAS MESSED-UP
MAYBE EVEN WORSE!!!
Showing a surprising amount of intellect considering it's him, Ryohei bounds over, gently supports her by the shoulders and squints critically into her eyes.]
EXCUSE ME, MISS!! I think you need to see a doctor!!!
[NODDING FIRMLY, then:]
--OH YEAH it's your lucky day to the extreme because I kinda am one!! Kinda!! Please sit down so I can fix you up???

[But what she actually does is flap one bloody hand in his direction with a very slight wince, and stands up a little straighter.]
Not yet. I'm looking for someone--I would like to know where I am.

LOOKING AROUND FOR A NICE PLACE TO SIT DOWN AND NODDING SOOTHINGLY AS SHE SPEAKS]
Yeah!! We're all looking for someone here, mostly!! This place is called Splendor, I think. It's all extremely weird but you get used to it fast!!
[He pulls out the water bottle that is now always clipped to his waist and pops it open offering some to her before realising just HOW EXTREMELY SERIOUS that wound on her neck is]
...I know you extremely want to find your buddy, Miss, but you're not gonna be able to do that real good if you die first, right?? If they're here, they heard you through that extremely handy seal-thingy, and then you're probably better to stay in the same place so they can find you, yeah? So you may as well sit down and let me take care of you to the extreme!!
[HE IS NOT ABOUT JUST PICKING YOU UP SO YOU CAN'T ESCAPE HIS LOVE EXTREME HEALING TECHNIQUE, RIZA.]

I won't die. I have orders. [she turns all the way back to face him, keeping her hand pressed tight to her throat, looking him up and down. After a moment of consideration, she shrugs her rifle higher up her shoulder and reaches for the water with her free hand.] Thank you. Are we in Amestris? [he's dressed so oddly...] You said "we all." I suppose this means there are others who have found themselves lost as well. If there is a military outpost nearby, I would like to know.
[SADLY I WILL HAVE AN APPROPRIATE ICON IF THIS SITUATION COMES TO PASS. She's careful as she drinks, trying not to move her neck any more than she has to.]

Lieutenant Hawkeye? Is that you?

[Hawkeye stares down at the seal in her hand, frowning at the design, and the ridiculous story she had been told about its purpose. When she had heard a familiar voice early, however, she hadn't seen anyone--but she was sure it had been that young girl.]
[Sighing, she finally decides to try.]
That's right. This is...Ran Fan?

Like a walkie, I suppose. It's been quite a while...I'm surprised to hear from you in this place.

...Lieutenant?

Mr. Yao, I presume?

I guess you're here too then? How are you?
[Because I can't see that whole gash across your throat thing you got going on]

[a minor pause!]
Or perhaps a hospital?

A-Are you alright? Is there anything I can do?
