[ Backstory ]
- Summary: He grew up being a childhood friend of Riza's, so they share jewelry of each others snipped off hair as a declariation of their friendship, and how they wouldn't forget each other. His older brother (Cain) having gone to be apart of the military and was stationed in New Optain. When Cain had been assigned to be court martialed and ran out on the military and declared "missing", Frank Archer had Kimblee kidnap Okun (15) and used him as ransom in hopes that Cain would come back to serve his punishment. When he didn't return, they had used Okun's nanny dog to merge him with for a chimera, the experiment nearly failed until Okun had persevered from the pain, but the transformation had left permanent scarring on his body. Since then, he was never truly registered into the military, but had to serve since he was now their ace card. He had been paired up with Kimblee under Archers orders.
Okun wanted to be a marine biologist, so they assigned him to use horrific water alchemy, which had proven very useful in the Ishval genocide. In cases, it made it look like a natural disaster during the genocide. Only after Kimblee was put away, he freelanced from New Optain and taken into East City.
His body is still in massive pain, but it finds a neutral state by being in-between. Kimblee had paraded Okun around the military (where he gets his name "Big Dog") in this in-between look, so it's become the norm for him. If he needed to change to either disguise himself or his full chimera, he would need to take some extra-strong pain blockers otherwise he'd end up very feral and wouldn't recognize others around him due to how bad the pain is.

π It's getting a touch too late for tonight, but Soon. I think they'd get along :)
"The boys are dozing off, so I agree, it really is just a bit too late. Currently 00:34 for us right now, we'll be settling down for the night and be back in the morning."
Maes' grin was somehow infectious, he always thought Riza was the coolest person on the Mustang squad (besides Roy of course), and getting to work with her was always a treat. Even if the military attempted to fit her into a tiny box, she always found a way to not apply those rules to herself. It WAS singlehandedly the coolest thing ever!
"Higher ups assigned you to me to check out some weapons, we've had a massive shootout with innocent civillians involved. No casualties, thankfully, but there has been a lot of injuries and close calls. If we can identify the bullets, then maybe we can track down who shopped where to contribute to said shoot-out. Think you're up for the task?"
She frowns softly as he explains the case, now carefully reaching for the coffee he offered out to her in order to take a slow sip of it. She was relived to know civilians weren't killed, but the fact numerous injuries had occurred was deeply troubling. Her need in the case was already becoming apparent before he had explained it. Her response was a firm nod of her head.
"Yes, Sir. I should be able to identify caliber, manufacture and the firearms that would be able to utilize the ammunition. I should be able to provide information then on where the ammunition was purchased as I've noticed some stores only sell specific brands."
She'd been at the Orphanage/Group home for as long as she could remember, memories of a time before foggy at best.
So many years. So many potential adoptions and so many disappointments had left her more than a little disenchanted with the idea and lost much hope as she watched those around her go to loving homes rarely returning. Kids that got so many prospective parents visiting and talking with them till they got the right match yet none for her.
Having all but given up she stayed away often choosing to stay up in her room then mingle with the other kids or meat any of the interested parents. No one ever came for her. With some encouragement one of the workers had got her to come outside, being such a nice day.
Quietly she played on her own in the shade with only a worn, hand stitched plush rabbit that had seen better days, while the other kids eagerly introduced themselves to awaiting and interested prospective parents that had come to visit and meet them. Silvery-white hair had been pulled back into a braid in some attempt to tame her long locks.
--
A worker cheerily welcomed Hughes in, it wasn't often they got an actual military officer around in a non official capacity. Asking him a variety of questions as well as answering any of his own to help make the best match between parent and child.
"By the sounds of it I think you and your family might make a great fit for almost any of these kids." The woman smiled before humming thoughtfully, "And it looks like some of them are already quite eager to meet you, how about I leave you to get acquainted a little bit? Unless you have any further questions?"
"Oh please, your generousity has been more than enough!"
As much as Maes had been a busy man (and only gotten busier as the months gone by), Elisia desperately needed a friend to play with. Better yet, a sibling! And what better way to get her a proper sibling than to help out one of these kids who desperately needed a home.
He smiled at the worker, very appreciative of how she's taken care of him, and as far as it goes- the children and establishment.
Though, Maes needed someone that would be around Elicia's age. Someone who may even look out for her, but deserve to have a loving home. The lieutenant colonel had heard the stories before, the children who are a bit older don't get looked at, in favour of having the youngest ones to cherish those years you cannot get back, which is frankly and extremely unfair. He took off his glasses to clean them off with a cloth.
"Sure, I do have a question. Which child has been here the longest? I'm looking for someone who's around my daughters age, see she just turned 4 years old, and I want her to have a sibling thats close enough to play with, since my wife is handling her sick mother, and I've been getting more work piled onto my desk."
Oh, oh they were so very glad that they weren't a chimera with a tail right now. That compliment was going to be bouncing around their head for the rest of the day, maybe for the next week.
"Thank you, sir."
They cleared their throat, picking up their cup to sip from as they marked off on a case report and placed it aside.
"Hm? Dinner? I mean, the assessment is no big deal, hardly worth celebration.."
"Still, it'd be my treat! You're one of my employees, and you know how I am with little celebrations!"
Was it probably from being a father and wanting to capture every moment and every achievement? Yeah, probably, but these assessments aren't easy, and frankly, if someone passes with flying colours? It's a reason to celebrate in his eyes.
He placed a few more stamps on cases he was fairly confident were closed, giving a relieved sigh to never see them again unless they were needed.
In Zenith's eyes, Hughes was far too kind for his own good, it was sweet and they were grateful for the offer. Would it hurt to let the man treat them? Probably not.
Dinner sounded good and it was just for passing the assessment, what was the harm in it?
"If you insist, I'll accept.. however, I'd like to do something in return, only because you've been so kind to me and it would feel wrong to not give that kindness back."
"Alright, if you insist! But the dinner is on me tonight!"
Maes beamed even brighter as he seemed to have second wind, quickly going through the papers as he stamped through the more unresolved cases and putting them in a different pile.
"If you had to pick one place to have a dinner, like a very spoiled dinner, where would you pick? No place is too expensive with my pay!"
Just as long as Zenith could return the favour then they were happy to go along with it, they'd just have to figure out what they could do for Hughes as a thank you to him for his kindness.
He had been so nice to them since they had been working for him. It was only right to repay him.
"Hm.. I should've figured you wouldn't let me pick something a bit more affordable.."
They let out a small chuckle, rolling their eyes but thinking on the question. It wasn't often that they were out to eat, making their own meals usually worked for them, but..
"There is this one place that I've heard about recently, I hear it's meant to be rather good.. I believe it's a little on the outskirts."
"You know me, I love to spoil my people. You're not getting away to be the rare one that doesn't get spoiled."
Maes adjusted his glasses, stamping the last of the paperwork and placing them in their respective piles. He took out a handful folders and began writing on them to label, only to then carefully begin filing the packets into said folders to be filed away in the shelves.
Though, the added curiousity of this resturant DID catch his attention. It's on the outskirts and has wonderful taste? Could be a new hangout spot.

Amber eyes blink lightly as she turns to meet his hazel gaze, head tilting lightly for a moment.
"..Riza-Biza..?"
She chuckles softly in amusement, allowing her arms to cross over her middle as she gives a gentle shake of her head.
"I suppose I am. When the Colonel told me I was being borrowed for a bit, he didn't tell me I'd be with you Lieutenant Colonel Hughes. What's the case we'll be working, Sir?"
Maes' grin was somehow infectious, he always thought Riza was the coolest person on the Mustang squad (besides Roy of course), and getting to work with her was always a treat. Even if the military attempted to fit her into a tiny box, she always found a way to not apply those rules to herself. It WAS singlehandedly the coolest thing ever!
"Higher ups assigned you to me to check out some weapons, we've had a massive shootout with innocent civillians involved. No casualties, thankfully, but there has been a lot of injuries and close calls. If we can identify the bullets, then maybe we can track down who shopped where to contribute to said shoot-out. Think you're up for the task?"
Roy hooked his finger on Hughes' collar, tugging him down enough to give a small kiss on the lips before letting him go and turning away as if nothing happened.
"Bold of you to assume I'm letting that just be it."
Maes had reached over and grabbed Roy's shoulder, pressing him up to the wall and kissing the man heatedly. His hands laid firmly on the colonels hips, similar to how it used to be back then while he made the kiss last.
Roy let out a small startled noise upon being pulled back, his back hitting the wall and not even given a second to get a word out when Hughes' lips crashed against his own.
The Colonel had frozen up for mere moments, quickly melting into the kiss and hooking his hands onto Hughes' neck as he returned the kiss just as passionately.
How long had it been since he's properly kissed Roy like this? His lips felt just as good as they did all those years ago, and he'll be damned if he didn't get his kiss.
The way his hands held onto Roy greedily, almost hungrily as they trailed up to hold the man close, his teeth grazing against the skin of Roy's bottom lip before he broke it off slightly just to get a breather.
Even though the space was so tiny between their lips, it practically a ghost touch with how close they were.
Having Hughes' lips upon his own already had him going insane. It was the way they seem to fit so perfectly together, and it made him so hungry for them. To keep feeling them against his own, he wanted more.
Needed more.
Roy just wanted Hughes.
His sights only landed back on Hughes when he pulled away enough to breath, his face red and breath shuddering slightly. He needed it again.
He could frame it on a wall, keep it with him forever if he could. The way his lips shuddered and his eyes- god, those beautiful eyes he could get lost in for the rest of time..
"I'm here, baby.. I'm all yours."
Their lips came crashing together again, this time with more vigor. He took the chance while Roy's mouth was open, slipping his tongue in to battle against the colonels- no, the man he loved with his entire being. He just NEEDED Roy, feeling him breathe and hold onto him.
There was a need for Hughes, a need so deep that he'd have to break open the lock of the vault of put away desires and feelings he had of the man. He'd do anything to have it again, to have Hughes so close to him, against him, inside..
Everything he could ever want of him.
"Please.."
With their lips reconnecting, Roy didn't fight back against Hughes' practically shoving his tongue into his mouth, pushing against his own tongue.
The flame alchemist pulled Hughes closer to him, almost pressing himself further against the wall. He just wanted the man badly, so so badly.
The way how Roy pressed himself against him, the way his mouth practically begged for more even when they were in the kiss.
This behaviour was familiar, especially from back in college. The way Roy would lead a bit just to set a proper pace and tone for them, and Maes would take the lead to make sure the man was taken care of.. especially if he was feeling dysphoric that day, he'd have to just fuck him stupid.
Now, with the surgery.. it'd prove an experience, that's for sure.
Maes had pressed himself even harder against Roy, using his hands to move the colonels legs to wrap around his waist, just so he could be as close as possible. Maybe even begin a bit of dry humping too, but barely noticable.
Oh, oh they were so very glad that they weren't a chimera with a tail right now. That compliment was going to be bouncing around their head for the rest of the day, maybe for the next week.
"Thank you, sir."
They cleared their throat, picking up their cup to sip from as they marked off on a case report and placed it aside.

β [ Maes vc guys I broke something and I'm now suddenly in a bright yellow building with lights that hurt my eyes . How do I get back to my office. ]
"Sir, I'm sure people love to hear about your family, but this paperwork really needs to be done, so, would it pain you to put aside an hour to get them done, please?" - Zenith [ @frozenfullmoon ]
"Come onnn, Zenith! Have a bit of fun! And you need to see this cute little photo of Elicia when she finally got her hands on her dream pet!"
Maes held a photo up to Zenith, it showed Elicia hugging onto a bunny that just seemed very content on where it was. Perfect loaf of bread, as one would say.
"She named him Loafy cause she likes to loaf a lot arounf her! Aren't they the absolute cuteeeest??"
"They are very cute, sir, I'd love to hear more about it, howeverβ"
Zenith placed down a stack of papers onto Hughes' desk, a pen laid on top as a silent 'please start them' toward the man as they looked up at him. Making eye contact.
They didn't mind hearing about Hughes and his family, it was sweet in their mind and it made for good noise when they worked during the tellings. But these papers just needed to get done.
"If you do them now, I'll happily let you ramble about your newest pictures for the rest of the day, sir."
Maes truly was caught off guard of the stack of papers, a look of shock before it melted into a pout. Though, he immediately perked up at Zenith stating that he could ramble about his family if he got his work done!
"Well! How can I say no to such a good offer? Its a win-win for both of us! Alright, I'll get started on my paperwork. Mind bringing me another coffee to keep me somewhat sane? As much as your pretty face does, a mans gotta have his coffee for this type of work!"
"Of course, sir, It should be quick work at the very least."
Zenith presented a small smile to the man, happy that he was getting the work done. The last thing they wanted was some pretentious higher up having a go at them for not making sure the work was done. They'd have happily zoned out for it but getting into that as a whole just wasn't worth the hassle.
With a nod, they step away. Stepping toward a small station for coffee making that investigations finally had implemented recently.
Zenith only took minutes before they were back at Hughes' desk, placing the coffee onto it.
"Thank you kindly, Zenny! You truly are a gem and a wonderful employee to have β‘"
Maes grinned as he pulled the mug closer, but still away from his hand so he wouldn't knock it over.
Compared to Roy's work, the investigations files were both a mix of easy and yet most excruciating work on earth. There are plenty of little details that could be missed if you so much glance over a paragraph, and it would cost him quite a lot if he didn't properly stamp off proper cases that have been closed, or still in the process. So, with that note, he got to work on stamping cases that were completed, thankfully, he CAN multitask.
"So, how has your recent skirmish? Got what you needed?"
"It's a pleasure to work for you, sir, I quite enjoy it."
Zenith could feel their exterior soften, they didn't mind being able to be more free around Hughes, he had proven to them to be reliable and nothing like most of the staff in the military. It was refreshing and it made them not feel as 'uptight' as some would put it.
They took their seat at a nearby desk, still having some of their own work to do. And pleasantly, the continued chatter from Hughes was welcomed.
"It went fine, one of the newest state alchemists wanted to challenge me as part of their assessment to renew their certification. I needed mine doing anyway so I accepted, it was.. rather fun."
"Oh yeah? That must have been exciting! Tell me, was it you who won? I bet it was you!"
As much as Maes didn't care for alchemy, often calling them "alchemy-freaks", those he cared about really knew their craft in alchemy. Roy, the Elrics, and now, here was Zenith, who found a way to curl up in his ever-too-big heart in his chest. He's said it millions of times before, but he really was proud of how far Zenith had come, from becoming an experiment of the military to being seen as disposable, he truly couldn't have been more lucky to have scored someone who was so passionate about their craft and help keep him in check when things went too far.
"Of course I won, I wasn't nicknamed 'The Frozen Frontier' for nothing, the alchemist was skilled but lacked the ability to think ahead."
Zenith couldn't help the smile on their face, the encouragement and praise was nice to hear. It was better than the judgmental stares or the flat, repetitive 'good works' from those who didn't really care.
So, Hughes was a nice change to that pace.
"They deemed my assessment good enough, so I'm still a state alchemist, I do like the additional pay."
"Good work, Zenny! That's my state alchemist, I'm very proud of you!"
The beaming came from Maes was always one to rival the sun, but he genuinely meant it. The poor thing's probably been through hell and back, the last thing they'd need is to feel like nobody is in their corner.
He took a sip of his coffee, seeming to relax at the warmth of it as he continued his work, giving a hum as he did.
"So, you got any plans tonight? Maybe I can treat you to dinner for winning that little battle!"
Roy hooked his finger on Hughes' collar, tugging him down enough to give a small kiss on the lips before letting him go and turning away as if nothing happened.
"Bold of you to assume I'm letting that just be it."
Maes had reached over and grabbed Roy's shoulder, pressing him up to the wall and kissing the man heatedly. His hands laid firmly on the colonels hips, similar to how it used to be back then while he made the kiss last.
