[She'd just finished her conversation with Selim when she noticed that Roy was looking somewhat like a ghost, which puzzled her to no end.

She'll pause then set the SFd down on the table.] Colonel? Is something that matter? You look like you just got some bad news.

[That was one way to put it. Just give him a moment to collect his suddenly scattered thoughts back together and think of a way to deal with this.]

You remember when I told you that I was forced into human transmutation by a homunculus?

[array_of_fire]

Yes, I do. [How could she forget when she's faced with the results of that and a reason as to why it's taboo in the first place. Not that Riza says that. She's far to polite.] Is something wrong, sir?

[incinerare]

...that homunculus is now here. In this city with us. [He pauses for a couple seconds, and finally decides to just get the revelation over with.]

That boy you just finished speaking to... is that homunculus.

Young Selim? [Riza blinks, taken back but the accusation. Though, is it really one given that Roy would know what's talking about? No, she supposes not.] How is such a thing possible?

[incinerare]

I don't know how he was created, but despite the appearance he puts on, he's not human.

[He stops there, uncertain just how to proceed from here. There was no real need to share the events leading up to the Promised Day, despite the fact that one of those responsible for part of them was now in the city. There was no real point in telling her just how corrupt the top brass were. She wouldn't recall any of it if she was ever sent back home.]

Don't provoke him, but don't be fooled by his act either.

He's that dangerous? [She'd try and keep that in mind.] It's a horrible thought, to think that someone could successfully violate the most taboo-est of subjects in Alchemy...

[Bad enough what the military used alchemy for, but this. It made her sick just thinking about it. While she didn't know all the details, Riza could only summarise that Selim had been created through the use of human transmutation, something that was strict taboo. And she knew enough on the subject to know that the price of performing that was rather high. Roy had lost his eyes after being forced into it, after all.] What do you want me to do though. Avoiding a child would raise questions, wouldn't it?
