"Ooooh, so YOU'RE that prince-guy Edward and Alphonse were talking about!" [ Don't mind Paninya, moving a slow circle around the teen, studying him up, down, and every which-way. ] // ♥ paninya

“What’s this? Oooh, they talk about me? I hope it’s all good things!”

[Ling places his hands on his hips, tracking Paninya’s path but remaining stationary. He puffs out his chest a bit.]

“I’m afraid I don’t quite recognize you, but any friend of those two is a friend of mine. What’s your name?”

He knew that grin well, one just like it on his face as well. Was Ling attempting to appeal to his pride? A fair tactic when it came to dealing with alchemists and soldiers alike, especially ones as ambitious as him. Taking the bait would be easy enough, but the quote, “All warfare is based on deception,” wouldn’t dare leave his mind. Ling came from Xing, and thus wasn’t a rival when it came to his goal, but still…

“Is that what I’m doing? Forgive me, but I thought you were more perceptive than that.” A low chuckle left his lips before he shook his head. “I’ll settle for being wrong in this specific instance, though.”

“I suppose I just can see that you’ve been forced into a corner here,” he muses with a lighter tone, sighing gently as if there’s nothing to be done about the tragic situation Mustang must find himself in, “Amestris just makes it harder for someone like you to succeed. There’s an abundance of intelligent, powerful alchemists around here.”

Ling tilts his head and watches Roy closely, holding eye contact.

“There’s no one quite like that in the courts of Xing.”

Ahh, he wanted to talk politics. Donning his knowing grin, Roy eased himself into that overconfident facade he loved to wear. It fit better than most of his others, and it was one Ling already saw.

“By myself, no, I suppose I don’t have a lot of say. That, and I’m young for my rank.” He wasn’t even thirty years old when he received the promotion, and it pissed off more than a few officers in Central. “But I’m an important asset to our military. They need me more than I need them. Who knows where they’d be without me.”

“You surprise me, Mustang,” Ling tilts his head, sly smile never leaving his lips, “I didn’t think you were the type to settle.”

He hopes his assumption of the colonel is correct, and that his pride may elicit more of a reaction. Roy Mustang intrigues and impresses him, and he intends to highlight that as he creeps down the path of an agenda.

“I kinda like it! What’s it called again? Huadian?”

CHEST PUFFED out. Excited to be so worldly.

“That’s correct! Although like I said, the glued kind is a little outdated. Let me fix that for you.”

[Plucks the petals off of Ed’s face and reaches into a pouch, pulling out a small puck of ink and a brush. He wets it slightly and paints something vaguely phallic on Ed’s forehead.]

“There! It’s perfect. You look very dignified, now.”

@seekingmajesty asked: “Ah, well if it isn’t the Colonel Mustang! I’ve been wondering when I’d get a chance to speak to you alone.”

One eyebrow arched in mild curiosity, Roy folded his arms over his chest to look down at Ling. Was he going to like this topic, or would he need to find an excuse to leave? He did have a date with Emma tonight…

“About what? Don’t keep me waiting in suspense.”

“From what I’ve heard,” the prince grins and leans in to share what is undoubtedly a very well kept secret, “you’re quite the powerful alchemist. I’d go so far as to say you’re infamous in these parts!”

“And from what I’ve seen, I have to agree with the rumors! But what gets me is this - powerful as you are, you settle for a job that does its best to keep you at bay. Isn’t it exhausting to constantly be pushing just to be heard? A colonel doesn’t have that much say in the grand scheme of things, after all.”

“SO IT’S SOMETHING like this?”

“Wow! Maybe I was wrong! It brightens that harsh demeanor right up!”

[Ling is unable to hide his cackling.]

“If yer ‘ere ta mock me, Ling you can leave. I don’t have time fer yer bullshit. I was ‘ere ta learn ‘bout yer culture don’t use it ta turn ‘round n’ backhand me.”

“Amestrians. So sensitive! You know if you listen closely, you’ll hear me teach you about my culture and backhand you at the same time! Just one of my many talents.”

“ ‘m listenin’.”

“There’s this old tradition of gluing flowers to your forehead after a tale that a princess woke up with a plum blossom stuck to her forehead, but after some time that tradition turned to painted makeup. It’s known as huadian, and it’s simply divine to see!”
