Dont bother; I never loose: Encounters
Roy walked through Central Library with a paper in his hand. He was doing some research of his own on Alchemy and was recommended a book. He found the right row and went to go search for the text.
Zarhara is slumped down in a wooden chair, feet…
She looked up and over to the man before her, but did not expect to see Roy.*laughs*”Long time no see Mini Skirt”
“Oh, Zahara! I didnt know it was you!” He frowned bit at the name “Usually people call me Colonel or Mustang, not mini skirt.”
*grins*”Well, last time i saw you, you decided to wear a skirt and boots if I recall.”*sticks out tongue*
He new he had to keep his voice down, after all this was the library, but he could feel his anger boiling, “It wasnt exactly my choice.” He replied sharply.
“Relax, i’m only kidding around.”*finishes book and tosses onto table with others.”Hmm…what else to read…?”
Roy glanced at the pile of books, “Are you looking for anything in particular?”
*gets up and goes over to nearest shelf. Many of the books missing.*”Mmm…not really. I read whatever i can find. I’ve already read some things on this Alchemy you do. And a lot of this place’s history. And a couple Biographies of some famous people and i just finished one on the elements.*gestures to pile of books on table* Most of the stuff in this library is the same.”
“I’ve made my own collection of books over the years. A lot of them were ones that my late mother read to me before she died. Old Xingeese myths. But history has always been one of my strong points.” He picked up the rest of the books and started helping her put them away.
“My parents always taught me and made me read survival books and trained me to be strong. They’d also teach me about some science stuff, but not much.”*sighs looking for another book*”It’s so hard to find something good to read with a photographic memory.So many things are just repeated. Though, the stuff in here is totally different from anything we have.”
Roy thought for a moment and then went off without another word. When he came back he was holding a old, falling apart book that looked like it hadnt been touched in years. Mustang handed it to her, “Try this. Its a classic and isnt being sold anymore.”
*takes carefully*”What is it exactly?”
“Its a war story. We had a war in Ishval years back. The writer wrote about what he thought would have happened if it had been different. Each chapter is a different scenario.”
