Five minutes later, found Edward seated upon the plush velvet couch the kitten sitting placidly beside him.
Roy and Riza were sitting in front of them, chairs pulled attentively close.
“Alright Edward, if this is a joke, you’d better tell us now or I am going to be very upset.”
Ed looked ready to explode, opening his mouth he spoke angrily “Listen Mustang, I wouldn’t lie about turning my brother into a cat ok?!”
Roy burst into laughter at the odd proclamation, only provoking Edward further, but before he could lunge for the flame alchemist a loud mew shattered all his anger.
The room fell silent and all eyes were on the kitten, which had placed it’s tiny paw upon Ed’s gloved hand as though telling him to calm down.
Edward looked at the cat as though listening to it intently as it mewed softly to him.
“Fine.” Ed said crossly, sitting back into the couch and ignoring the stares from Roy and Riza.
Mustang watched him in awe “Can you seriously understand him?”
Ed nodded “Yeah, right after it happened he was mewing like crazy and I was terrified he was in pain, but slowly I could hear his voice and now I can fully understand him.”
Riza leaned forward and reached out to pet the kitten, stroking it’s silky velvet fur, the kitten purred and pushed it’s head into her hand.
Feeling a little foolish, she pulled away her hand and asked “Alphonse, is that really you?”
The kitten fixed her with a warm blue gray gaze and mewed softly.
She could almost swear that she heard the sweet voice of Alphonse resonating in her head, drifting like a gentle summers breeze.
“It’s me.”
Roy shrugged and said “Well Edward, now that you have once again made a mess of your brother, what are you going to do?”
Ed glared and answered “I’m not sure, I mean, he is in a body now. Not an ideal one, but better than that suit of armor.”
Observing his brother with a knowing gaze Al pushed his head against Ed’s upturned palm, releasing a short purr.
Edward smiled in a halfhearted fashion and closed his eyes as Mustang continued to berate him.
“Fullmetal, what will I ever do with you? How do you expect me to cover up the fact that you performed and FAILED human transmutation for the SECOND time and NOW your brother is a cat. I’m not sure how to handle this---” Mustang paused when Edward doubled over in apparent severe pain, clutching his stomach.
“Edward!” Riza exclaimed kneeling down to look closer at the shuddering boy.
Al leapt upon his knee, peering in at his brother and mewing in concern.
Mustang stood hurriedly and lifting the small teen into his arms, he moved towards the door “I’m taking him to the hospital wing.” he called back to the others as he quickly exited the room.
Al leapt off the couch and went to follow Edward and Mustang, but he was intercepted on his way to the door as Riza gently scooped him up in mid gallop.
“Wait Alphonse, you’ve got to stay with me, if another officer finds you and it’s not kind hearted Fuery, then you might get sent to the pound.”
She held the tiny kitten close and hurried out the door to meet Edward in the hospital wing.
