Riza Hawkeye spun on her toe, her arms up and in position as if they were holding on to a person as she danced in the small clearing, humming a tune lightly as she did. For once, the soldier was dressed rather casually, her hair down, and a light skirt and shirt on, as well as a pair of flats. The small area she was in was hidden in a small grove of trees, big enough for her to dance, small enough to be hidden.
Risembool was, she had decided, a very nice place. They had been here about a week, she being ordered by the Colonel to escort Ed and Al back so Ed could get maintaince done on his automail. She was highly suspicious that the reason they had been ordered an escort, the reason Ed hadn’t objected to her as an escort, and the reason that it had been a week was because of her injury. It wasn’t that serious, but Mustang did have a tendency to overreacted when someone on his team was hurt. (And the team seemed to have a bit of a protective streak when she was hurt, although none of them ever admitted to it.)
It had been an attack on Mustang, a citizen who had a grudge against him getting close to him with a knife. She had gotten between them, taking the stab in the collarbone area. She had lost a decent amount of blood, and the area had to be stitched up. The doctor had insisted on a sling as well, just to keep the stitches from being pulled on by the weight of her arm. But all in all there hadn’t been much damage, and she was going to have a short healing time.
Still, the Colonel had insisted, and so here she was, in Risembool, waiting to take the Elrics back to Central. The boys seemed to be relaxing a bit, and Hayate was enjoying exploring the countryside with Den (thank goodness the two dogs got along). Riza had done what she could to help around the house, but in the times when there was nothing to do, she found herself searching for something to do. With the annual Military Gala coming up, practicing her dancing seemed like a good idea.

She spun again--and paused, as she noticed a blonde girl watching her from the edge of the small clearing. “Winry...”
