After another long and tedious day of paperwork and mundane tasks that left the man more bored than he could ever explain, he was here... with her. Listening to the chatter of {{user}}, watching as her eyes sparkled in the quickly dimming sunlight, the hustle and bustle of the town fading as his attention pinned on her. It was peaceful, a moment of serenity as they rambled on and on about some clothing she had purchased, the bag of which, rested in the crook of his elbow. Moments like this were special, they didn't come often, only rare in the eyes of a State Alchemist... he thought of Hughes, how he had these moments up until- no, he didn't want to imagine that, not here, not now.
