Re: BEYOND THE INFERNO | CAPTURE - Verdigris - 08-02-2018
”Trusting you to have my back also means trusting you to shoot me if the need arises.”
Riza had hoped she would never have the need to do so. Roy had done well with sticking to his ideals for several years after Ishval. Even when Sergeant Ross had come under suspicion for what happened to Hughes- largely thanks to the homunculi, they suspected- Roy had kept his head. Though he had kept up the appearances of a revenge-driven madman who would incinerate Ross without a trial, for the sake of the plan, he had actually saved her life. He knew as well as anyone else that Ross would never shoot a fellow soldier.
So to see Roy now, threatening to inflict severe burns on a civilian, who clearly suffered from some sort of physical disability in his hind leg- if not the rest of his body- came as something of a shock.
She had seen the civilian before. “Jacob,” she recalled, had showed up in the midst of the Typhoon’s raid to lecture their captain over risking his life, and then to invite Bastilleprisoner to their wedding. He was a strange individual, to be sure, and maybe an eye ought to be kept on him- but he had done nothing so far to deserve being dragged into the Grand Circle and interrogated, and least of all tortured. The Roy that she had sworn to follow into hell, that she had pledged to marry, would never do something like this.
Why was he like this all of a sudden?
She had to find out. Padding into the Grand Circle behind him, turning a deaf ear to the infuriated excuses he was spouting as well as the others’ protests, she reached down and aimed to take hold of him by the scruff, then lift him up and carry him outside. Being larger than he was by a significant margin had its advantages.

Shining's ears fell flat as Roy practically carried on, with only a small moment of attention directed towards the winged feline. Roy didn't see the point, didn't understand that what he was doing was wrong. The guise of 'demanding information' was merely an excuse, a cover-up for the masked anger that he had started inflicted on Jacob. Alexander had stepped in on the other side, putting his body between the two. Roy was growing angrier by the second, the situation escalating. Jacob was crying, Bastille had stepped in to attempt to put a stop to the bobcat's outrage.
It only made the fire grow stronger. Fire didn't listen to instructions or commands. No pleas for mercy. It burned, it consumed everything in its path, no regard to friend or foe. Only once it had run out of fuel did it cease its destruction. Shining's face shifted, eyes glistening with a mix of fear, disappointment, and... grief. The winged tom stepped in opposite of Alexander, forming a full blockade between Roy and Jacob. Shining didn't care that he might be protecting an enemy. They didn't see what he saw.
"No better. You're no better." He directed his words to the flame alchemist, standing a little taller. "Who is your real enemy? Not a clan, not a group. It's hatred, and anger. You feed them. This is not right. Not how you defeat them. You fight fire with fire? Everyone burns. Even friends. Even you. Step back. Calm, don't let fire grow. Don't lose control."
He had before.
