“You could have given him something, anything besides that book!”

“Yeah, well, when you were twelve, you weren't getting a State Alchemist's pay, were you?”
“…My pants are riding up.”
“I’m not exactly comfy either.”
“And, all the blood’s running to my head. Are you sure you can’t move?”
“Positive.”
“Shouldn’t someone have missed us by now?”
“Not likely. Everyone else was leaving when the Colonel sent us back to the office, remember? And, I think it sealed the door.”
“Great. …I need a smoke. Can you reach—?”
“No. I told you that ten minutes ago.”
"This wasn't even in the book.”
“There was one about stapling the uniform together.”
“Guess this is the alchemist’s version.”
“Guess so.”
“So, if the Colonel had done his own work and come in here…”
“I think it would’ve given him a miniskirt. Besides the rest.”
“Huh. Well, I suppose the upside is that we have a front row seat for his reaction....”
