Fourteenth File.

[clarities]

[ Action: Mayfield High. ]

[ Well, after things have been pretty much completed in her lab, Diana has taken the initiative to make a small cubby hole in the corner of a library and is pretty much sleeping in it. Now that her projects are done, she can finally let herself sit back and relax for once. There's a book over her face to block out the light and possibly the sounds too. Other than that, she actually looks peaceful for once. Do you wish to wake her up from this? ]

[ Though, if the library isn't your thing, later on she can be found in the music room by the piano and is playing Beethoven's Fur Elise just to warm herself up. She plans on spending quite a bit of time here just to unwind and relax even further. The door is open to hear this music playing. ]

[ Action: John Doe Park ]

[ To continue in her relaxation, Diana's taken to sitting under a tree and has her eyes closed. It appears as if she's meditating to help clear her mind. The quiet sounds of nature and the sounds of animals moving around ease her even more. Sure, she knows that her guard may be down, but she's diligent to open her eyes if anyone approaches her. ]

Hey, Abel. Do you mind holding another lesson? This time, I want to try something a bit more difficult.

[ Phone | Filtered to princeofjunes ]

Mr. Yosuke, the stage is finished. When do you want me to deliver it?

[ Phone | Filtered to canhasfuhrer ]

Mr. Mustang, I've finished your gloves. When do you want me to deliver them?

All right!

[ Diana opens the door and walks right on in to find that there's...no kitchen table and yet a rocking chair. ]

Clearly we shouldn't leave you bored.

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[He just smiles]

I maintain that business is better conducted from rocking chairs. You should try it sometime.

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

[ At any rate, Diana hands him the box. ]

Go ahead and open it, Mr. Mustang.

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[At least she's not teasing him like Riza]

[Now, box time! Let's crack it open!]

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ Yet. Your time will come, Roy.

Inside of the box contains the gloves she promised she'd make him, among a few spares. ]

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[His face goes from amazed to suitably happy when he opens the box, and he takes out one of the gloves to inspect it closer]

These looks incredible, Diana!

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ Diana seems to smile when he looks happy, knowing that she did good work on them just by his reaction alone. ]

The material I used is rather durable and doesn't tear easily. In addition to that, I've also customized them to work in the elements such as snow, rain, sleet and hail. And, they also will protect your hands from the burn, too.

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[And it's now that he stares in her in disbelief]

Wait, say that again?

They work in the rain?

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ Well, since you asked -- ]

The material I used is rather durable and doesn't tear easily. In addition to that, I've also customized them to work in the elements such as snow, rain, sleet and hail. And, they also will protect your hands from the burn, too.

...but, yes - at least I believe that they do.

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[That's the part he can't seem to get past. His gloves will work in the rain. It's enough of a game changer that he's possessed to say something silly]

Then let's go out back. There's a garden hose there.

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ ... well, the customer is always right, so -- ]

All right, lead the way.

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[It's subtle, but the purpose with which Roy walks is not unlike a kid rushing to the toy store to get the one he's been waiting for forever]

[But the hose can wait - the first thing he does in the backyard is slip a glove on and snap his fingers]

[FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH]

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ She follows him out to the backyard, watching what he's doing before she notices him snapping his fingers. ]

Well, what do you think?

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

They're fantastic! The feel is different from ignition cloth, but they work just as well.

[He eyes the hose by the house and gestures to it]

Now to see if they're better. If you wouldn't mind?

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

Mm.

[ She nods her head and goes to grab the hose, turning the water on to it before holding it away from her. When he's ready, she'll spray the water at him while aiming for the gloves. ]

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

Let it rip!

[Well, this is a first - he's asking to get wet]

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

Right!

[ And, like that, she starts to aim the water right for him just to see if she really did it this time. ]

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[Being soaking wet is slightly undignified, but totally worth it if the payoff is as promised. When he's thoroughly wet - far past when his ignition cloth would have failed him, he snaps his fingers]

[FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH]

It... it worked!

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ And the results are more than welcomed. She smirks and chuckles at his excitement before her laughter dies down slightly. ]

Well, I delivered.

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

And how! I... if there's ever anything I can do to repay you, Diana, consider it done. It's the least I can offer for a gift like this.

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to keep it in mind, but for now - just being my friend and alchemy teacher is enough for me.

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[One wet Mustang walks over to her and messes up her hair again. Because]

Then thank you. Sincerely.

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ kghljdslkjlk WILL YOU QUIT THAT? ALL OF THE FLAILING EVER. ]

... I could do with a little less of that, though.

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

Well... I don't know, it's a lot of fun. That's a lot to ask.

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

...

Mr. Mustang, if you'd like for me to take your gloves away--
