NO PLACE LIKE HOME - open; death

[Roy Mustang]

Roy was pissed beyond at that fight with the Meta a few nights ago. Why was he pissed regarding the situation? Well for starters, that hellhound had armor on, just how Washington and his four colleagues- they were associated with them. They didn't know about the Meta, or how dangerous he was, as the four wouldn't tell them about their past lives/mission. Roy tolerated them not opening up about it, as Roy too once kept his past hidden from the Ascendants, but he thinks warning the clan of a dangerous, traitor of theirs would have been helpful. Plus, he was mad at the scent he found on the attacker- Tanglewood. The only thing he was happy about was that Bastilleprisoner agreed to go to Tanglewood with him to demand questions. It seemed like Bastille couldn't argue with Roy then, whether if Bast liked it or not, even he knew they had to approach Tanglewood about it.

Tanglewood entirely wasn't responsible for the attack. While dealing with their immature leader was a hassle, Roy quickly learned that they had no control over this member. He appreciated the apologies they received from their deputy, he hoped that no incidents like this would happen again. Roy still wasn't a fan of Tanglewood, for their sake, he hoped they'd gain better control of their members. They wouldn't want Roy marching up to their border for a second time. As if he did, Roy would be almost at the point of steaming with anger.

Since the attack from Meta, it certainly seemed like Carolina got a more severe blow of injuries. While Agent Washington had a broken arm, if Warringkingdoms attends to it quickly- it probably can heal. And if it heals incorrectly- he can get it properly amputated, not gnawed off like Roy did to himself. No no- that's a horrible idea. Roy's still regretting his decision to this day. But Carolina on the other hand, not only did she suffer five broken ribs, but the hellhound managed to break her jaw too. Plus, there was one wound that was invisible to the naked eye- internal bleeding. Internal bleeding was not good in any way, most of the time it's severely fatal if not caught on early on. Usually, it's not caught on until it's too late, especially if you aren't a medic.

When Roy was padding through the territory, he came to a stop when he noticed Carolina's limp body beneath a tree. Roy was clearly not a fan of her- Roy hasn't forgotten the disrespect she gave him at the border. Plus, the two didn't get along well at all- it was like they clashed heads. Roy wanted to know what their mission was about, and she tells him to get lost. While they have their differences, Roy knew whatever pain she's going through must be excruciating. Broken ribs can make it hard to breathe, and a broken jaw wasn't helping her case. While he wished he could simply walk on, he couldn't get himself to do it. She needs to see Warringkingdoms, if she doesn't get treatment, then her condition will only get worse. A sigh escaping his lips, the Flame Alchemist began to make his way over to her, padding over to her after the Cleric(who got to her a lot quicker than he did).

As he got closer, he realized that Carolina was laying perfectly still. Her chest was not rising and falling, her eyes were not blinking. When he looked at her eyes, they looked like they were staring off into space, never to be animated with life again. Oh shit, He thought to himself as he watched Rin search for a pulse, but when she sighed and shook her head, Roy assumed the worst. Carolina was dead. Roy didn't feel much grief about her loss, but he knew Agent Washington would be. It seemed like Washington was as close to Carolina like his bond with Riza, the two really did seem to care for each other. A sigh escaped his lips as his ears flattened to his skull. "I'll go look for him," Roy offered up, in case Washington didn't hear Warringkingdom's call through the territory.
