"Well, it's rather rear to have two alchemist working together in the same division." Mustang stated, "And as such, both alchemist must be able to work together without conflict."
"You shouldn't have to worry Storm, Ed and Al doesn't have any problem with either race." Ed raised his eyebrows at Maes words.
"It never bothered me to begin with Maes." The Ice Storm alchemist stated. "You were always the one who fretted about it."
"What's going on?" Al spoke up, it was surprising how everyone forgot of the ten foot tall suit of armor standing there.
"Maes is talking about the fact that I'm as messed up as you can be in a military." Storm answered. With that Storm raised his hands to his hood and pulled it down.
"You see here, Storm it part Amestrian, part Ishbalan. It tends to get him into a lot of trouble." Maes looked sad. Ed's eyes widen as he saw Storm's pure white hair tied into a pony tail that reached to the middle of his back and his bangs partially covering his teal colored eyes.
"So you get it literally half and half." Ed joked, "Well welcome to the strangest bunch of people you'll ever meet. You have the only fire user Colonel Roy Mustang, a psychotic Maes Huges, my tall and scary younger brother and your blond haired, gold eyed alchemist truly, if you survived Maes, then you'll fit in great."
Storm fingered the strange collar on his his neck, it seemed like a style. He was actually grinning, "It really takes guts to survive Maes doesn't it."
"How cruel my children are." Maes cried out. "Both have now ganged up against me!"
"It was bound to happed sooner or later." Colonel Mustang chuckled.
Storm stuck his gloved hand out and Ed took it for a handshake. "Well if that's it, I'll be with Havoc and the others outside." with that Storm left.
Ed and Al were about to follow him when Maes pulled them back and shut the door.
"Hey!" Ed complained.
"I know this is a lot but I need to talk to you." Maes said, "There's some things I need to tell you before you go." Ed rose his eyebrow. "It's true that Storm has been with me for seven years as well as working at the Briggs wall near Drachma. But there are some things that even he doesn't like."
"First of all, Storm is very protective of people he's close too, so there's no worry of that, but he hates unfair and power-hungry people. We think it has something to do with his past." Mustang spoke up.
"Also he really hates being blinded and also can't take crowds and people touching him because he has clustrophobia."
"Well I guess crowds is something he and I can agree on." Ed said.
"This one is very important," Maes watched them seriously, Ed was worried. "Though he may try not show it, his left leg has a bad limp and it is quite a trouble for him, I'm certain that if he feels comfortable, he'll tell you, but still I would like you to look out for that, as well as for the collar-"
"Don't worry about that Maes, they'll figure it out, I have to give them their next assignment."

=========
I will explain the collar and the cover story at some point, don't worry.
