What did you say? Can you read it?” A flash of shock crossed the kid’s face before it smoothed into a mocking smile. “Just then!” And hope was fizzing down his exhaustion-strained nerves. “What did you just say?”Įd paused with his hand on the doorknob and looked back. Shock like a lightning bolt down Maes’s spine. “Don’t even know why you guys would get all worked up about a bunch of old royalty anyway.” You look like death.” He started to leave the office, calling the rest of the words over his shoulder. I’ll be heading home soon, and you and Al can stay there while you’re here.”Īnother critical glance. Al ‘n I are gonna be in town for a little while, so it shouldn’t be hard.” And the boots came down from the desk. It’s been a stressful few days.” Two golden eyes sharpened and spent a few seconds analyzing Maes’s face. Ed took a glance at the picture and then handed it over. Here.” And the white-gloved hands did not wrinkle or stain the paper, something that Hughes would not have cared about before two days without sleep. “Shit, Sheska wasn’t joking when she said you were high strung today. Hughes made a desperate snatching motion after it. The vigorous movements caught the photograph and it fluttered over the front of the desk to the floor. “Hello Edward! What brings you to Central?” As he spoke, he brushed at the dirt. At the same time, he felt a spark of irrational, sleep-deprived panic when some dirt fell off the kid’s boots onto the photograph. It warmed Maes to know that Ed was so at ease around him. A glance at his face said that the action wasn’t so much to annoy as it was to get comfortable. “Hey Hughes! What’s up?” The kid flopped into a chair and propped his legs up on the desk.

Once again, Hughes contemplated calling Roy, if only to have him burn the damn thing with the amount of sudden savagery it deserved. A picture of the tablet was sitting at the top of his desk, ready to be paper clipped to the cover. The headache had sprung from Maes’s attempts to sum up the struggle in a report to his superiors. Everyone in the office was buzzing with pent-up energy as they panicked over something they could do nothing about. The linguists were at a dead end and the only other information the spy had been able to turn up was that the tablet was from some ancient civilization known for its military prowess. Weeks of wasted effort and progress as slow as swimming through tar. The intelligence department was frantically trying to learn anything else they could about the tablet while consultant linguists were brought on to translate the hunk of stone.Īll to culminate in this. The second the information had been processed, Hughes had been caught up in a frenzy of activity. Drachma had found the tablet out in the mountains and was now touting it around as the thing with the knowledge to bring Amestris to her knees. One of the men Amestris had placed in Drachma had sent a photograph of it a few weeks ago, along with a letter explaining the situation. The ‘it’ in question was a large stone tablet. They had tried their best, but it was like nothing they had ever seen before. There were reports there, from the language specialists they had called in, all saying the same thing. Heaving a sigh of regret, he replaced the well-worn pages and stared down at his desk. This had, of course, been the cause of the headache in the first place. There were, sadly, still things to be done. He weighed the pros and cons of calling Roy to help spread the comfort, but in the end decided against it. He updated it about once a week.Įven now, after less than a minute of cooing over the pictures of his precious daughter, occasionally accompanied by his angel of a wife, he could feel the pain receding. The pictures that could hold off a migraine by the sheer amount of adorableness contained within. This one was just a compilation of Maes’s favorite pictures.

Well, to be more exact, one of Elicia’s many photo albums. The other hand left its post at his temple to lift the thing onto his desk, covering any papers below. He groped around inside, unwilling to open his eyes just yet, until his fingers brushed against an object. His hand unerringly found the bottom drawer of his desk and hauled at the heavy thing. The sensory deprivation did not help, and as the pain started to build, Maes realized that it was time to employ drastic measures. There was a headache looming on the horizon, and the migraines he could get were legendary. Hughes closed his eyes for a moment, kneading his temples.
