So, there Riza stood, in the street somewhere between Central and Dublith. She was alone now, beside the dead body of the poor woman wha had so kindly agreed to help her. That meant nothing to her now. The only thoughts in her head was to return to Central, hide, kill Roy, or commit suicide if she failed.

Off she went, walking towards Central once again. Her heart was no longer racing, her mind set fully on her orders. In fact, Riza was rather calm now. Of course when she awoke from this trance she would be far from calm, everything but calm. That is.. if she was ever awoken from this trance.. She obviously couldn’t do it herself or she would have already. Continuing down the street to the alley she had come from, Riza carried her father’s sword with her. The blonde really had no idea what paths she had taken to get where she was. Her feet just seemed to take her, guiding her back to where she had come from. She had orders to uphold. No time to doubt where she was going. She just simply walked.

At some point she started running again. It was very late, so late that morning light was coming within reach. Riza had to get to Central before the sun rose. Running as fast as she could, a plan began to form in her head, so long as Roy wasn’t back yet.. She could hide in one of the alley ways of the neighbors house, watching Roy’s reaction to his house being nothing but charred wood. Then she could come out, limping lightly as if she was slightly injured, or she could just come out. Either way she was sure Roy would hold her as close as he could, glad that she was still alive. Then.. she could strike. Yes. It would perfectly. Who knew what time it was when she made it back to Central where she slowed her pace, walking slowly to catch her breath. She could smell the scent of burnt wood floating on the air as she approached. The house was smoldering, the smoke still rising from the remains. At least they kept it from jumping to the other houses. She stood there staring silently for a moment before walking past and going to an alley few houses over. She could hear the car coming from there. And Riza waited there.

The blush on her face only brightened as she continued to listen to his plan for their relaxing get away. "W-Wife..?" She stuttered softly, staring at him with such a look of surprise that she herself wouldn't have believed she was able to look such a way. Wanting to say something the words just refused to form in her head. Instead she went on, listening to him as she always did and a delicate smile curved her thin lips. "I think we do too... It certainly is well deserved.." Her eyes closed now as she spoke and she shifted on her cot so she wasn't putting pressure on her wrist. The only thing that bothered her now was that she didn't know when they would ever get that wonderful weekend..

The blonde closed her slowly opened as she looked at him. Seeing that smile, she felt a little more at ease, seeing how.. confident he was. Her eyes locked onto his as his hand came over hers. She couldn't help but smile, just thinking about that weekend.. She blushed lightly. "A.. A normal.. couple..?" She said almost breathless, her voice soft so no one could hear. "That.. sounds so nice.. a weekend in the peace of.. the country.. Just.. us." She smiled up at him now. "That's a really nice idea.. I like it.."

"Dying isn't something you exactly plan on having happen.." She retorted, closing her eyes and giving a sigh. Her train of thought was so messed up tonight. Why were these things bothering her so much right now? That was something she couldn't answer, like much of the things she had been asking herself. Giving a simple sigh, Riza allowed herself to relax, at least, relax as best she could. "I'm sorry for asking such odd questions. I'm really just not myself right now.. It's truly driving me crazy.."

When they got home... That did sound rather nice, the blonde had to admit. A small vacation away from all her worries.. A small vacation to allow herself to rest her wrists properly and not damage them anymore. Ah.. What a great idea. Her attention turned from the vacation that seemed to hover ahead of them now back to Roy as he stared up at the ceiling. The lieutenant couldn't help but huff and close her eyes. "Well, when I'm always around someone as flustering as you, how can you blame me?" She nearly snapped at him, though there was still a gentle sound to her voice. She opened her eyes again to stare him, watching him rub at his chin. Ah, she remembered that day clearly. He had kissed her without warning and she punched him afterwards.. Then she avoided him for a least 3 days afterwards. If only they could be little again.. Things were so much easier back then. Riza never knew just how badly she would miss her childhood now that it was well over with. "Sir.. Do you really think we'll make it home?"

"...Are.. they sending us home for a bit..?" She still understand how he thought he would be able to stay with her if they were just going to send her to some tent filled with the injured. She waited for his reply as he continued on speaking, bring the blush on her face to a bright pinkish red as her crimson eyes widened in shock. "W-What..!?" Her hand quickly came up to cover her mouth, staring at him in such a state of shock, one wouldn't be able to believe it was actually Riza laying there. He wasn't serious, was he? No.. No he couldn't be! But then again, this was Roy..
