[ roy mustang is going to lose this bet. he's already made his peace with the loss of his gold coin. and once he's settled in his own seat (at a table in the corner of the place, to avoid some of the chaos, and allow for a proper view of the entirety of the room, because old habits die hard or not at all): ]
Out of curiosity, why the one in the blue vest?
[ he may as well know why he's going to lose before he loses. ]
