this soul of mine will never break ❁ return

[Roy Mustang]

Roy once believed that when someone died, when they went beyond the 'gate', they stayed dead. At least, that's how things went back in Amestris. Roy has come to realize that wasn't entirely true here, especially after he reunited with Hughes. When Hughes arrived at the border, Roy had the same kind of demeanor like Cooper. Roy had refused to believe it was his best friend, and even he assumed that it was a shape shifter- a shape shifter known as Envy. But thankfully and much to the Flame Alchemist's relief, it was Hughes. So with that experience, Roy has came to grudgingly accept that the dead can come back to life here, but not through the taboo. The taboo will always remain impossible, you can't play god and force a dead person to come beyond the gate. They have to come back themselves, like Hughes and now Margaery has done.

Roy was limping through the territory, when his ears pricked up at a familiar voice. Margaaery. It has been three days since the vampire died in childbirth. It's been a long three days for certain people, Suiteheart was left to raise children by herself, and others were in mourning for loosing a friend. Roy was trying to be there for Suiteheart, just like she had been to him when Maes died. He didn't understand how she could be alive again, he still has a hard time understanding how Maes came back. He couldn't wrap his head around it, the alchemist who's lived his life as a human, believing that the dead stay dead, is having a hard time understanding how people come back to life in this world.

Roy decided to limp his way over, shortly entering the scene after Radeken. The Flame Alchemist's gaze landed on Cooper, who reminded Roy too much of himself when he reunited with Hughes. He had been in denial too that time, it's so strange to see someone else go through the same feeling. "How did you come back to life?" The Alchemist questioned as his gaze locked on Margaery, eyes narrowing as he waited for answers that would give peace to his wondering mind.
