Maes isn't surprised at all to find Riza waiting for him. She's the one that keeps Roy going where he needs to go and on time after all. Maes holds up a hand in greeting, his demeanor casual and cheerful as usual with him.

Though the conversation may not stay that way for long.]

Hey-a Hawkeye. [He lowers his hand, slipping it into a pocket.] Thanks for agreeing to meet with me.

[He shifts, trying to figure out where to start. So, he does what he does best, start talking and see where it gets him.] I know this must have seemed out of the blue. But it's honestly been something I've been going over in my head for awhile. I wanted to ask Roy about it..[He pauses, rubbing at his neck.] but I'm not sure how he'd take it. My...that is...[He swallows, he really hates admitting to this.] ...what happened to me clearly had a big impact on him.

[He hesitates. He wants to ask Riza, knows she might not have an answer either, but he'd rather be told he's crazy than to risk going to the Witch first.] Hawkeye...[He frowns, shaking his head and deciding to make his plea more serious.] No, Riza, I know you and Roy don't typically keep secrets, but I need to ask you something and I can't let him know.

Not yet.
