Alexander's Dorm

Flick. Flick. Flick. Flick.
That's all he'd been doing for the past hour, really. He'd just been sitting on his bed, flicking through all these stupid documents they wanted him to sign. It was annoying, to say the least. There were state alchemist applications, requests to join certain committees involving such things, requests for leave from his soldiers, some letters some annoying woman must've stuck in the door or something, some really annoying letters from Kana ('Hello Ma'am' at the title gives it away) and other things were scattered around him. Right now he was just sitting their without his shirt on (His chest was face down on the bed, so that oroborus mark was hidden) reading some manga novel he picked up on his way back to Central from Creta. Stupid field missions: They were rare, but when he got them they lasted months and turned out pointless. Another thing to go on his list to why he hated his job.
But that wanted his priority, as he soon had to visit Rush Valley to meet this wonderous mechanic they keep talking about, she he needed to get his arms amputated and real automail in place, as he'll end up shattering his arm bones if he wore that small amounts of automail he wears any longer. After all, rules say that Automail must be secured to a viable area like the joint areas. Meaning the shoulders, but with the leg automail, it didn't matter unless below the knee-cap, then you'd have to get amputated up to the knee unless it was just a foot.
He was really dreading the time they'd tell him to get off his ass and go get that damned amputation, as even though his arms were pretty useless (with or without automail, he can only preform alchemy with his feet), he liked feeling stuff with them, but he remember well and truly when the fuhrer had said to him earlier that morning.
He said, quote-unquote, "I advise you get that automail properly secured Colonel, otherwise I'll have to have you dismissed,". Al liked the library and other rights so... he had to get the amputation and soon... 'Oh goodie'...
