Summary: "I'm going to need coffee," Roy says, already regretting answering the door. "Aren't I?"
When the knock comes, half past midnight, Roy's out of bed before he's fully awake. It's trouble. It has to be. Probably Fullmetal, as it always is.
"Yes?" he says tersely, as he opens the door.
He's never understood how a two meter suit of armor can look distraught, but Fullmetal's brother manages it. "Colonel Mustang! You have to help me!" He holds out the bundle in his arms -- Ed's coat, Roy thinks; he'd recognize the alchemical signature on the back anywhere -- and it yowls.
"I'm going to need coffee," Roy says, already regretting answering the door. "Aren't I?"
Alphonse stands there looking pathetic -- another thing he shouldn't be able to do -- until Roy opens the door enough for him to get through.
The explanation doesn't make much sense, as Al stammers through it and Ed growls corrections, but if Roy understands correctly they were attempting to restore Ed's limbs through experimental biological alchemy. Only it didn't work, and instead they're missing one ginger tom -- well, it's clear where it went, but Roy's not about to say so in front of Al -- and Ed is --
"Fullmetal!" Roy says. "Stop that right now!"
-- coughing a sopping wet hairball on Roy's couch.
