"Colonel."
Roy's ears pricked up almost instantly at her response, immediately recognizing her voice. That is Riza Hawkeye, and her response to his single word question proved it even more. He couldn't help it but feel a sense of relief in his chest, it's really her- he's no longer alone in this new, unfamiliar world. He finally has someone he knows he can trust, and who won't leave his side. The two of them back in Amestris had been like a pair- Riza had been his bodyguard and he knew her back when he was learning alchemy from her father. Sure, Roy certainly had some feelings for her, and maybe Riza did too, but they were never allowed to experience such feelings. It wasn't allowed in the military, it was forbidden actually. If she wasn't his subordinate, if she didn't join the military, he would have happily dated her. Roy trusts her completely, she is definitely the one with the most trust in his team. He even trusted her to tell her to shoot him in the back if he ever went the wrong way and was no longer going down a righteous path.
So the male smirked lightly, with that familiar cocky expression Riza must have gotten used to by now. "You don't know how glad I am to see you, Lieutenant." The Sumatran tiger spoke up as he kept his gaze locked onto her, his tail slowly swishing behind him. It has been a long few wild days, it was nice to talk to a friend you feared you might never see again. "I'm assuming you got caught up in that accident too," He began to mutter, as he shook his head, ears pinning back, "I'm not certain about Fullmetal or Alphonse though." He still felt some guilt for what happened, now that he knew Riza truly fell victim to it as well. It wasn't clear what happened, but hopefully the two can find a way to return home together.
His ears would prick back up as a new, though familiar for Mustang, spoke up. Bastillepaw, ugh. They were the kid that was ignorant at the border- he believed Roy wanted them to beg him to join. He had seemed to take an offense to Roy's clear thinking, and Roy had made sure to let the tom know he didn't want them to beg. It had been the opposite, actually, and the Ascendants managed to persuade Roy enough to stay here. His eyes narrowed as he glanced over at Bastillepaw, flint claws digging roughly into the ground. "Yes, you're correct on that." He confirmed Bastillepaw's statement, his tail swishing behind him. It was probably obvious that the two knew each other, Roy hasn't really been so open and trustworthy to any joiners lately. He wouldn't have approached Riza the way he did if he didn't know her. Now, regarding Ms. Hawkeye joining, he would glance over to her after Bastillepaw made the second comment. It was really up to Riza if she wanted to stay here, but he was going to give some advice to his subordinate. "I recommend you stay here Riza." That probably wasn't expected, right? Just wait a minute, he's going to keep explaining himself. "There's shelter here over in that Observatory, and the people who live within it explained everything to me- they claim they are a peaceful group." Perhaps Riza could catch on that Roy wasn't saying that he trusts these people completely, but that they were willing to offer her food and a roof over her head. That was why he is currently here, he certainly can't get himself to trust his new groupmates yet. So far they have stayed true to their word, but he can't let his guard down, especially when he doesn't know any of them personally yet- just names with faces. "There are apparent other groups out there that won't offer the same hospitality- though it's up to you, but at least you won't have to be here alone."
