I feel like there’d be only be two ways Riza would ever truly betray/turn on Roy. One would be her promise to shoot him if he goes off the deep end (a promise I feel applies to 03 Riza, as well), the other would be if she were put under some kind of mind control to hurt him...and even then I don’t think she’d go through with it. Or what very little of herself she still has control over.

I bring this up because it’s the subject of today’s scene.

I came with a small idea where State Alchemists have been reportedly attacking any officer nearby them. The Elrics and Team Mustang do some digging to reveal that this is really the work of a small terrorist faction looking to undermine the military from within, turning soldiers into sleeper agents to attack alchemists in broad daylight, thus making people loose faith in the State’s Alchemy program more than they already did before.

And just in time to, as the mole lets in an assault on Eastern Headquarters. Ed and Al get separated from team Mustang, and pretty soon Roy and Riza finds themselves alone, searching for their friends.

This is where our scene begins.

....................

(The scene begins with Roy walking through a dimly lit corridor in Central Headquarters, Riza following right behind him.)

(They're currently looking for the rest of their team, Ed and Al included, and are trying to keep quiet, just in case they run into any potential sleeper agents.)

M: So where did Havoc say they were going, again?

H: He said they'd meet with us in the mess hall.

M: Well, let's hope so. I don't think I can take much more of this.

(Suddenly, they hear a loud, piercing ring echo throughout the hallway. Roy covers his ears to stop the pain he could feel pulsing through his skull.)

(It stops a few seconds later. Roy quickly regains his composure.)

M: You okay, Lieutenant?

(He turns around...and is confused when he sees her just standing there at attention.)

M: Lieutenant?

(When he gets a closer look he gasps; her eyes are opaque...and she points her gun at him.)

(Roy is surprised...but that quickly turns to hurt and anger for him.)

(He growls.)

M: Damnit! Not you, too.

(She fires at him, he dodges.)

(She fires a few more rounds at him, which he dodges as well.  The last one comes close to doing some damage, just barely grazing his cheeks and singing a few hairs off his head.)

(Roy's not sure of what to do.)

(But then he looks up...and sees tears streaming from her eyes. She's shaking, like she doesn't want to shoot him. No, that's exactly what's going on, he realizes. She doesn't want to do this, doesn't want to hurt him.)

(Whatever little control she has over herself is resisting.)

(So much so, she does the unthinkable.)

(Roy watches in horror as Riza slowly lifts the gun...and puts it to her neck, aiming to kill herself instead of her commanding officer.)

(He watches her finger wrap around the trigger...and he leaps into action.)

M: No! Riza, don't!

(He grabs hold of the gun and tries to yank it away from her, but she fights him.)

M: Riza! Riza, come on! Just give me the gun!

(Finally, a gun shot is heard...and Roy is wincing. He sees blood pooling from his arm and falls to his knees, holding the wound.)

(It's at this time that Riza's eyes return to normal. She shakes her head clear of any lingering thoughts...and is horrified at what she sees staring her in the face.)

H: Colonel!

(Roy opens his side and sees Riza; she on her knees, staring at him like she just committed murder.)

H: Are you alright?

M: Yeah, I'm fine.

H: Let me have a look.

(He releases his arms and lets her look at it, she places her hand to it and stares at the wound sadly.)

H: I'm so sorry.

M: It's fine.

H: But-

M: I said it's fine. (He smiles.) Besides, I'm just glad you're okay.

(Riza is shocked by this, and yet she can't help but smile.)

H: We need to get you to a doctor-

M: No! We need to find Fullmetal and the others, first.

H: But your arm-

M: I'll be fine. For now, we'll just have to make due.

(He starts to unbutton his uniform jacket.)

H: You're not seriously going to cauterize the wound, are you?

M: I don't have much of a choice. (He smirks at her.) Unless you've got a better idea.

(She stares at him for a moment...then sighs.)

H: Alright. (She fishes out a new glove for him while he starts unbuttoning his dress shirt.)

H: But as soon as this is over, we're taking you to emerge.

(Roy holds back a laugh as he starts talking.)

oooh hmm..i'll do a top six! two of each prim/sec/tert category! (and omg someone just sent a separate ask for ancient terts haha)

Jaguar! My all time favorite primary, always a hit for me. looks wonderful on tundras, and it does such a great job with color distribution, gives them sick eye liner, and is usually pretty fun to draw imo!

Pinstripe! (ahaha sorry dfgsfd) i just love what it does with some colors, it can be so vibrant and unique and honestly i just think it's neat C: i have had to actively stop myself from giving more dragons pinstripe since its kind of a pain to brew fdgsdf

Eye spots! Honestly not sure what it is about the pattern but i just lovely it..vaguely mothy, the circles are neat. pairs well with basically anything! it's similar to jaguar, but less overwhelming as a secondary compared to rosette which i really like. (though i do like rosette too! but just not as much haha)

Seraph! making my dragons into the angels that they are <3 just love the feathery texture, it's always a cute look to me!! and especially for tiny snapper wings haha but it works for everyone c:

Runes! love the little sparkliness and especially love how it colors dragons horns! we need more terts that do that (glimmer and okapi were totally contenders for here too tbh). it always makes for a cute touch on dragons, and is a good magical looking gene since these guys are generally magical beings after all! as much as i love animal-y ones too, if i have to go for a non-animalistic gene this is definitely what i want c:

Peacock!! accent colors my beloved! again, we need more terts that play with accent colors. and also more terts that are more wing-based. peacock is great on both accounts though! i like that it plays into the Fake Eyes thing that some animals have in nature too, but it's also such a vibe c:

Vote for Florabrisa's best bears 🐻🏳️‍🌈!!! There will be 8 polls today in groups of 4 dragons, and the winner of each will move on to the next day!

it’s easy to be green in Florabrisa c:

the size charts going around right now are wonderful but I had a few things I see differently, so I figured I’d make my own too! with my own dragons because wow do i like making things harder having to work with color schemes dsaddsf also i wish i used an m pose imp but i really wanted to use Zaffre. i originally had Moraine too but. it got crowded and there was an imbalance of left facing and right facing poses. sorry moraine dsafds

so in general i have it, with them in order from biggest and smallest:

Large: Ridgeback, Imperial, Guardian, Gaoler

Midsize: Coatl, Banescale, Bogsneak, Mirror, Wildclaw, Snapper, Pearlcatcher, Nocturne, Skydancer

Small: Tundra, Spiral, Fae

but yeah really the only things to note I guess? I see Mirrors as on the larger side for mid-size breeds, and Coatls straggle between being midsize and large. the smallest guardians and gaolers are definitely eye level with the largest coatls haha. i also tend to group tundras with the small breeds, though there still is a rather stark difference between average faes and spirals vs the largest tundras

and of course, all dragons have ranges, some bigger than others. ridgebacks vary between 14m and 24m after all o.o and the midsize ones all tend to fall in about the same 4-8m range, so big skydancers generally will be bigger than small bogsneaks haha
