[One of the homunculi was dead. Roy had seen to that himself. Thanks to his efforts, a being that was said to never die was killed.
But not without a price. During the battle, Roy had lost a considerable amount of blood, stopped only by the fact that he had cauterized his wounds shut -- and that process had left him with third-degree burns all over the left side of his abdomen.
Thus, Roy was confined to a hospital bed, receiving treatment for his burns, while waiting for his body to replenish what blood wasn't replaced via transfusion. He had a roommate, but said roommate was out of the room for an analysis on his spinal cord. The door was open, and a young sergeant stood guard outside the room. Roy was gazing absentmindedly at the wall, replaying the events that brought him into this bed in his mind.]

[He's used to the way she secures privacy by now, at least.]

What's the matter with you? [ That's a resounding yes. ]

[ If she shows closeness to him, not only does it paint a target on the opposite's back, but it comes off as a weakness. Relying on Mustang in any way will make her seem weak as a General and the forces can't have that. ]
