The Mansion On Drachmian Border

The Inn

Riza was forever grateful to the group of rouge sheep, who decided to escape from their pasture and march toward the Drachma-Creta border with a great determination at the same hour as they made it to the line. The workers were currently understuffed as five of them tried to get the sheep off the road and the three remaining wanted to push the line of cars forward as fast as they could. It seemed to be a common occurrence judging by how quickly they acted.

Alphonse gave Dante tea containing sleeping drops, he had prepared it during a quick stop they had after two hours of driving, about an hour before they arrived at the border and she was currently asleep in the backseat with her head leaning against the window. She looked almost cute that way as she drolled onto her own dress, which she would no doubt be mad about later.

Maybe she was more like Elicia when she was asleep. Riza remembered that once she let three-year-old Elicia use her jacket as a pillow and then really regret it afterward.

The customs official only gave them a quick glance and let them through. Then there were few cars that didn't belong to their group and then Furey with Winry, Sheska, and Hughes. Roy's group took the trailer, so they were in a different line. They seemed to have a bit of trouble when Denny's popped out of the trailer's window. He started laughing and saying something. Wrath showed his face too pointing his fingers at the customs official as Emery waved around an open folder filled with papers.

They finally moved forward and would join the rest of the group in the next town. A stop would give them all a chance to stretch their legs and hopefully use a bathroom. They passed fields and small houses before finally making it to the town area after an almost hour-long drive since the border.

When they stopped children jumped out of the trailer to look around and check on their father. Everyone, except for Emery, who had to led out by Edward. She seemed a little green and looked down as she sat on the trailer's stairs clutching her stomach. Motion sickness.

After the break, they got back into their vehicales and drove forward.

The rest of the ride back to Amestris looked pretty much the same with making one stop to sleep in some inn they found on the way. It was mostly empty, which at first seemed weird, because it was summer and therefore people should look for a place to go on vacation but then again, it wasn't located anywhere near any major city or landmarks and, as it turned out, had a rodent problem. The owner was a bit confused but still amused when Wrath caught a mouse jumping after it on all fours.

Winry carried Hughes to one of the bedrooms. She had checked him for internal injuries and he seemed to have none but she still was worried they moved him too much. They still didn't have a different choice. In Drachma they would all be arrested if they brought Hughes to hospital, in Creta it would create an unnecessary fuss and they could still be accused of kidnapping. It would be best to wait for their arrival in Amestris to check him in a proper hospital.

She still checked again for temperature, he had a slight fever but nothing to worry about. She then made sure he was breathing right and that there was no blood in his ears or mouth. Winry opened his shirt and winced and bruises that had a chance to develop further during their drive. Thankfully nothing seemed to be broken or hurt badly enough to stay permanent.
