[font=trebuchet ms]As the kitten spoke her name, Riza nodded along. ”Aaliyah Mustang,” she repeated, with a twitch of her studded ears. Aaliyah’s clear satisfaction at getting the name right was too precious for words, but aside from the smile she kept on her face, she didn’t show any further reaction.
Roy’s words broke her attention away, though. Glancing directly at him as he explained what happened, she narrowed her eyes- only to widen them as he announced that he bit his own leg off. How... how would someone even do that, let alone why? Her gaze hardening, she opened her mouth to speak, but even as she raised a paw to emphasize her point, she could not find the words.
Finally, she settled for pressing said paw against her face. ”I... you idiot,” she muttered, shaking her head. He had said the leg was completely shattered anyway, but what he’d done was practically asking for a serious infection. It was a miracle that he was even still alive.
Once his attention turned back to Aaliyah and he started scrambling to explain himself- as she’d predicted he would- Riza couldn’t help but smirk. ”Already settling down, I see,” she commented half-teasingly, raising a brow. Judging from Aaliyah’s apparent age it was likely that she had been conceived before Roy had even arrived, but there was nothing wrong with having a little fun at his expense, at least until he realized the inherent issue with what he thought it looked like.
The arrival of someone about her size, wearing what appeared to be a modified suit of armor (at least, it looked vaguely like armor), elicited a curious glance from her. ”Agent Washington. My pleasure,” she responded, with a nod. Where he had come from, what agency he had been a part of... she had several questions, that nonetheless could wait until later.
