No, we didn't leave yet, General Ironwood and Damian were going to have to repair whatever relationship they had in order for an efficient plan to be made. It was worrisome, I sighed and bit my lip observing how Penny, Oscar, and Bart talked amongst each other happily. They were a family, an odd one, but a family. I was glad to see them together, all of them had ever known a propper one. I sipped my tea a little more and looked beside me when a noise caught my attention.

"Amyrti" said Altair sitting by my side, his expression stoic as usual, but I could see a glimmer of concern in his golden eyes. "Is the General's and our king's relationship still concerning you?"

"Yes," I answered. He didn't need my semblance to know these things, he had a way to read people so easily. "I just want to help! But...I don't know what to do for them!"

"Come"

I looked at him confused. "Where to?"

"I have a vague idea of who could help, he is coming back today, and it is my job to escort him back, would you accompany me?"

"Of course!"

It had been out of the blue, and I could hear only one thought of his: This is a date.  When I tried to listen for more information from his mind, it was as if it had all shut off...I gazed at the frozen landscapes and smiled. I love how every season has its differences, its own beauty. The silence was comfortable, I looked back at Altair, he was perfect for this season...his personality was just like the winter that seemed to everlast in Atlas.

"Who is it we are going to get?" I asked him.

"He is someone special to the General," said Altair parking at last and helping me out.

"Oh? Who is he?" Altair only smirked at me and took my hand, guiding me lightly, letting go when we saw a young blonde man wearing a red coat over his black outfit. It didn't look anything like the military uniforms I had seen in Atlas. He seemed to be talking to another blond that was taller than him but looked very alike, with softer features, younger-looking. But that wasn't what captured my attention, but, the fact that they both had golden eyes just like Altair's.

"Major Edward, Alphonse" called Altair, his hand no longer in mine made me feel slightly colder. 

"Altair!" both blondes grinned going towards him. 

"And who is this?" asked the shorter one.

"This is Kori Anders," Introduced Altair. "Kori, this is Edward and Alphonse Elric"

"Nice to meet you," I said with a smile. "It's surprising to see someone so young being a mayor in the military. Though Winter Schnee is the right hand of General Ironwood I still find it surprising how you obtain positions of power at such a young age"

I noticed a relieved sigh come from Altair and Alphonse when I mentioned Winter. Had I said something wrong?

"Well, the military here is crazy, what can I say" laughed Edward as we all walked towards the vehicle."So, what's new?"

"Many things that are considered classified," said Altair calmly while Edward rolled his eyes.

"I know, but why did you come to get us? Not that I have anything against it, but James usually does the job"

I blinked. "The general usually comes to escort all his majors back home?"

"Nope!" said Edward.

"He just brings brother back because they are dating!"

I froze when the taller one said that. I looked at Altair who had a small smirk that vanished. Now I understood the reasoning behind this escapade, I smiled a little, he is so thoughtful. Breathing in I gathered my thoughts.
