EAU DE RÉSISTANCE ; open, return

[Roy Mustang]

For the majority of Roy Mustang's life, he always believed death was permanent. He knew bringing someone back to life through alchemy was practically like playing god. There hasn't been one successful human transmutation recorded, it just wasn't possible to bring someone back to life there. The Elric brothers were a living example for Roy, he knew from just watching the two grow and continue to look for a way to get their original bodies back, that it wasn't worth looking into. Human transmutation has horrible, horrible consequences, even if you get caught in it. Roy's own life here was an example of that, Truth found it necessary to make this his life after he got caught in the activated array. But going back to the subject of death, Roy thought death would be permanent here too. But it didn't take that long for his mind to be proven wrong. Hughes came back. Margaery came back to life, and now Suiteheart.

Even after months, the male was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that people can come back to life. He understood that it's possible here, but the thing he didn't understand was how. How do people do it? Back at home, it just wasn't possible- once you were beyond the gate, there was no going back. Truth made sure to punish any alchemist who dared to commit the taboo to teach them just that. It has to be something different in this world, who knows if Roy will ever come to learn it.

Roy was in his room when Suiteheart burst into the observatory. He was laying on his bed, resting his head on his front paws, when his ears pricked up at the noise. Not a moment later, Roy's head quickly perked up, looking out of his door as he listened to the sound. As he listened closely, he began to recognize the crying, rough voice. It belonged to Suiteheart. Without another thought running through his mind, the male quickly jumped off of his bed, and made his way through the observatory. He padded as quickly as his three legs would take him, eventually being lead to Suiteheart, Washington, Margaery, and Rin.

Blue eyes landing on Suiteheart, the first thing he noticed about her was the necklace-like scar across her neck. He paused for a moment as he got a look at it, ears drawing back to his skull. Roy was thinking back to that night, and how useless he felt in it. He wasn't able to do anything when Suiteheart was bleeding to death. He would have gotten in the way of Rin, he could have made it even worse. All he was able to do was watch. He didn't say a word, gaze locking on the Ecliptic Admiral.
