[This was definitely going to take some getting use to. The odd clothing. The enormous palace grounds. The people trying to tend to her every need. Grudgingy trying to tend to her every need. Winry had been expecting that though--in all honesty she felt both would be much happier if she just took care of things on her own but somehow that wasn't acceptable.

One good thing about the palace being so huge was that it was easy to escape in. She had found, admittedly, a very beautiful and lavish garden within and she secluded herself beyond some trees and flowers, near a trinkeling pond. She sat on a bench before it and let out a small sigh]

We've been breached. It's either passed the front guards it cleverly sneaked its way in and was discovered.

Quietly] Stay close to me.

[frowns] Breached? "It"?

Not everyone in Xing is content with the way I plan to change the country.

[A pause.] The guards should be able to handle it. We're fairly isolated here. [He hasn't dropped the tense stance and hasn't moved from Winry, however.]

[Ah. That. She had expected it---after all any big changes would make many people uncomfortable and hostile. Still she didn't think that they would...invade]

They mean to... [kill us?]

[Welcome to Xing, Winry]

They won't.

I'm Emperor for a reason, Winry. No harm will come to you so long as there's still breath within me.

[she looks to Ling and nods]

I know I'm safe.

It's just the principle of the matter. I knew things wouldn't be easy---far from it, but part of the reason leaving Amestris wasn't so hard was because I felt finding peace in Xing would be easier.

[she sets her face, ready]

But I'm sure it will. It's only the beginning. I should have known. I know you'll bring peace to Xing.
