--RIZA--
"Riza! Riza come here!" Riza glanced up from the textbook she was reading and called out to her father.
"Coming Papa!" Riza ran down the stairs to where her father was waiting for her in their small living room. It consisted of an armchair, a two seat couch, and a small coffee table. Her father was sitting in his armchair, he glanced over his shoulder exposing his old worn face. But he still had a bright smile, and he motioned for Riza to sit across on the small sofa. Riza swiftly crossed the room and smoothed out her small dress after sitting down.
"Now Riza, today I guess, is an important day. Do you remember what day it is?" He took a long pull of fresh coffee and waited for her answer. Riza had to think about it, it wasn't her birthday, or her father's. or her mother's...
She thought a little longer. "I can't remember." Her father sighed, Riza looked down ashamed. She always tried so hard to make her father happy.
"Well Riza," he started slowly, treating her like a toddler "today is the day that new apprentice of mine is supposed to show up. I just got off the phone, he had just been getting on the train. I suppose he'll be here in about three hours." He paused, "I don't suppose you'd want to come pick him up with me would you?" Riza sprung out of her seat excited.
"Oh really?" She asked, she had not been to the train station in weeks, and she was excited to meat their new guest... whoever he was.
Her father just sighed and nodded. "Why don't you go put on something nice dear." He stood up, grabbing his coffee cup and heading to the kitchen. "I would like to present a pretty young lady to our guest."
Riza grinned and ran up the stairs to her room, trying to think of which of her few dresses was the prettiest. But she stopped halfway up the stairs and turned again to her father. "Papa?" Her father turned and glanced up at her raising an eyebrow. "What's his name? Your new apprentice?"
Her father smiled calmly and turned back to the kitchen. "Roy Mustang." He stated before heading into the other room.
