"If you have to know." Alex's voice came from the seat behind them then, where she sat down and flipped through one of the books. Except this book wasn't one of the ones they were looking at, and the cover had a cheesy romantic looking couple embracing. The title was something equally lame along the lines of 'Star-crossed lovers' or something. However, while she flipped through it, her expression was dead serious.
Alex lifted her feet to rest them on the table rudely, "Starlight wanted a few pointers on hand to hand combat, and I kicked her ass pretty good. She told me not to tell anyone because it's a pretty embarrassing story of my greatness, but I think she might already explode with embarrassment if it's not told." The whole time, she didn't look up from the romance novel. "Go ahead and applaud my greatness, but I suggest keeping it down so you don't get slaughtered in your tender years by a librarian."

Sam looked up at Alex, surprised at her sudden interjection. She gave a small, embarrassed smile and chuckled a bit. "I gotta admit," she said, "you're a worthy adversary..." She smirked at Alex, arching her brow a bit.

"You're not to bad yourself." Alex had a small smirk on her lips while she continued to 'read' the book in front of her. "But in the end it's all about who has more experience isn't it?" Her own tone had a double meaning before she closed the book in front of her, and stood up, tapping it against her shoulder.
"I'm going to give Mustang the report. You kiddies are free to go. You've done enough work for the day."

Sam and Al were a bit surprised at her final statement. "Are you sure?" Al asked, leaning toward her a bit.

"If anyone asks, just blame it on me." She tapped waved her free hand back to them while she started to leave. "Besides, I think I got plenty information for my report, and enough to figure this out on my own. You kiddies did good."
"She's... so weird..." Edward stared after her.

Sam stared after her, a concern lingering inside of her. "... Yeah," she said. 'I hope she's not as clever as I think she is...' she thought to herself.
Al looked at Sam and Ed, a bit more chipper than he was before. "Well," he said, "what should we do now?"

It wasn't long before Alex was opening the door of Mustang's office, shutting it behind her loudly. Her hand were in her pockets and she started making her way to his desk.
Edward held his stomach, which started growling. "I don't know about you guys, but all that reading made me hungry!"

Roy had been asleep with his feet up on his desk and a newspaper laying on top of his face. Upon hearing the door slam shut, he jolted up in his seat and the paper fell onto the floor. He was a bit disoriented as he looked around the room, then noticed Alex and sighed. "Ah, Scarlet," he said in an almost relieved tone, "always a pleasure."
Sam looked at Edward with a small smile. "Well it doesn't usually take much to make you hungry," she teased him.

The echoing of her footsteps stopped when she halted in front of his desk. "Can I.. ask you some questions? They're important to the investigation.. and I think only you could give me enough information."
His stomach growled and he blushed slightly, coughing as he looked off to the side. "Y..Yeah shut up.. Do you want to go eat with us or not?"

Roy's interest had been peaked and he leaned forward, his arms resting on his desk now. "You seem troubled," he said with an arched brow. "What is it that you need to know?"
She giggled a bit and nodded. "Yeah, sure. I could go for a bite."

She sat in front of him then, "What is it.. you can tell me about the Starlight Alchemist?"
"Excellent!-" Edward let his excitement seep through before he suddenly caught himself and controlled it. He turned his head to the side, coughing and tried to act cool. "Awesome. Sounds like fun."

He looked at her, a bit suspicious. "Is there a reason you're asking me and not her?" He knew she must've been onto something.
Al let out a small chuckle. "Alright, so let's go then." He rose from his chair along with Sam, who nodded in agreement.

"Don't... ever repeat this to anyone.. ever.. I mean it... But to be honest.. in this situation..." Her voice trailed off and she found the next words hard to say, so she mumbled them. "I trust you more than anyone.."
Edward stood up as well, stretching his arms while he folded them behind his head. "Man am I glad that we got dismissed this early still.. or we would have to have gone all night."

Roy was dumbfounded for a moment, staring at her with a blank expression. After a minute, he smirked and leaned back in his chair with a snarky laugh. "Is that so?" He folded his arms behind his head.
"Yeah," Al agreed. "But still, I wonder why she let us off so soon..."

"...." Alexandria suddenly picked the stapler off his desk and threw it as hard as she could to his head.
"She's never been so.. eager to see Mustang before. I think staring at all the books for song long made her disoriented." Edward laughed a bit. "What do you think, Sam?"
