Who: Edward, Wander, anyone
When: Day 40, early afternoon
Where: coming from the 4th floor
What: TRIUMPHANT RETURN

[Look who's back from their nature exploration! Aside from both obviously being worn out and the bandage on Wander's leg, he and Edward seem to otherwise be unharmed.]

[There is a lot of nature stuck to Wander's sword, which he is kind of looking at now.]

Wander: Well, um, that was a good hunt.

Edward: It's too bad we don't have anything to show for it.

*shakes his head*

No, just attacked by trees.

By... trees?

I know it doesn't exactly sound that impressive, but if you think about it, how do you fight against a tree when you're equipped to fight animals?

Alchemize an ax?

If you've found a way to work with the materials here, I wouldn't mind if you'd share it with me.

*tired sigh*

Normally that's what I would have done. Or even just deconstructed the trees directly. It's frustrating to not have that option.

I've never tried to deconstruct something alive before...

I'm sure with it being a tree, it'd work, if I could get past the understanding stage. Though we fought them back well enough without alchemy.

I just mean in general, I never thought to try and deconstruct something living.

...Ah, that's right, you probably don't remember... I don't think I'd want to try it on an animal, but with a plant, even one that's attacking, it'd be okay with me.

More things I don't remember.

There's a lot of those things, unfortunately.

I shouldn't be so bothered by it anymore.

[but he is]

I can't imagine not being bothered by missing most of your life.

I guess it's the possessive part of it I'm still not sure of. I don't know who I'll be if I get those memories back. How do I know I'll be better for it?

Because no matter what situation you were forced into, the Roy Mustang I knew was always a good man at heart.

It means a lot to hear that from you.

...really?

Well, you're one of the few people who knows me as "Blaze". Not to mention the fact that you've obviously lived longer and experienced more than I have.

You did a lot of good in my timeline, too. You helped me and others around you when we needed it, and you helped the entire country become a better place.
