GROUNDED FOR A MONTH // Lost

[Roy Mustang]

Roy knew for a fact if Aaliyah went around exploring, without him or someone else coming along with her, Roy would surely panic. All the worst kind of thoughts would run through Roy Mustang's mind- what if she was hurt somewhere? Lost? Captured, or even worse, dead? He would be pissed beyond belief that she would go out on her own when it's clear that Roy doesn't want her to be. He'd frantically search for her, and if and when he finds her, he'd bring her straight home. She certainly wouldn't like the anger that would be radiating off of the melanistic bobcat, hopefully she won't ever run off on him and give him the biggest scare of his life. Roy was padding through the territory, heading down a familiar path, when the scent of Snowbound hit his nostrils.

Roy came to a pause as he took the scent in, ears pricking up wide. He listened closely to the young voice, it sounded like she was taking pauses to gasp for breath. Why would a Snowbounder who sounds so young be out here alone? The Flame Alchemist thought to himself, as he looked in the direction, picking up Gordon's voice as well. A sigh escaping his lips, Roy began to pad over, changing whatever plans he had with his patrol. The Lunar Lieutenant came in after Gordon, glancing briefly at his clanmate before fixing his gaze on the serval kitten. A kitten? This kitten is surely a lot older than his little Aaliyah, she's proven she can speak and manage to make it all the way here by herself. He couldn't help it but wonder why she was here. He was sure a kitten wouldn't be delivering messages or invites, no no- she's far too young to be out on her own. She's lucky she didn't run into trouble along the way here. "Most importantly, why are you by yourself?" Roy questioned as his ears flattened to his skull, unable to pick up any other scents of a Snowbounder that would be lurking behind. It really seemed like she was all alone. He made no other comments, awaiting for answers.
