BURN // ROY & VI BUDDY GROUP TASK

[Roy Mustang]

Despite being here for months and months, it's still hard for Roy to wrap his head around other abilities. Abilities that also included fire, like Versailles using her mind to control fire. Roy has grown so used to alchemy, it's been proven to be quite the challenge to watch others control elements without much tax. The laws of alchemy are driven into his brain, and it's hard to work around those laws after years and years of following them. He couldn't help it but blink in confusion as the panther's hazel eye began to burn up, heating up, and eventually making making a small flame in her pupil, that shot out of it, jumping onto one of the wicks. Not that long after, her makeshift flame consumed one of his flames, and left the wick. His blue eyes watched the floating flame's every move, watching it dance over to it's controller, and float beside her. Roy had to fight the urge to speak up and question how she did that, as this isn't the right time for that. I'll ask her later, once we aren't in this mess, He thought to himself as he gave the panther a firm nod at her comment, before his ears pricked up at her question.

Shoving his thoughts away from her ability, the bobcat focused on her question for a moment. Honestly, Roy didn't really think of checking storage rooms(there has to be storage rooms, without a doubt), he was quite glad that Versailles brought that up. "Good point, there should be some storage rooms either in the Bunker or the underground complex. We should check those for any extra candles before going through members rooms."

"What the fuck do you think this place is, a dungeon?"

As soon as those words made it's way to Roy's ears, the first thing he thought of was the Fullmetal Alchemist. During his time in Amestris, Roy rose the ranks of the military relatively quickly. He was around 29 years old when he became Colonel. He was in charge of a unit, which meant he was a Commanding Officer to subordinates. He was also the commanding officer to the Fullmetal Alchemist- who was only twelve when he joined the military. The last time he saw Fullmetal, the kid was around 15(almost 16) and his little brother Alphonse(who was much nicer than Edward, definitely didn't have an attitude like Fullmetal) was 14, turning 15. He remembered Fullmetal having quite the temper, was stubborn and strong-willed, he wasn't afraid to be hostile towards his authorities and could be quite selfish and self-absorbed. That comment that came out of Onision's mouth, it just sounded like something Edward would say, he swore he almost heard it through Edward's voice. He had to think for a second, snap his head to look at the almost fireball and remind himself that who he's looking at isn't Fullmetal. He's already mistakenly called Bastilleprisoner Fullmetal, it wouldn't be good if he called someone else it too.

"If you aren't going to take this seriously," The male snapped with an authoritative tone, "Then you're more than welcome to sit this one out." After all, this is Suiteheart's and Margaery's child, this won't be the first time he scolded them. All he could really wonder is where this child managed to pick up the foul mouth from. "But if you want to help regarding the situation we're in, you better loose that attitude, am I clear?" He commanded as his gaze locked on Onision for a moment, eyes blazing with authority and no room for an argument.

Lanterns would be a good idea too, actually. Roy mentally added it to his thoughts, reminding himself to grab any lanterns when going through the storage rooms.
