Jean laughed lightly.
"Your kinda like Ed yourself, joining up to help those close to you."He stopped walking, the corridor split to the left and right."Hopefully you'll do some good things too, but preferably at a smaller cost to the State, if ya don't mind."Grinning, he looked back at her before smiling apologetically.
"I forgot which way he was." He'd been on automatic after having told Ed about his orders, just walking the way his feet took him.
"I think he was near the infirmary.."He rubbed his chin, not really certain, but he didn't have much else to go by.
So he walked right, almost banging into Sgt. Bloch, who just continued walking, muttering under his breath.

Emelie didn't know what Havoc was really meaning by helping those close to him, she knew nothing about Al's real state or what happened but she didn't read much into it s they continued to look for Ed.
"That's awesome, I bet his mom and dad are really proud of him and his older brother, you know the one who always wears that metal suit. He must have some official reason why he wears it , like to protect Mr. Elric." she said with a smile not knowing how wrong she was on many accounts. "What do you mean smaller costs? Does he spend allot?"

Jean stopped and turned to face her, wanting to see the effect of his next words.
"Well actually, Al is the younger brother. And he just likes wearing the armor i guess, great place for hiding cats in."He smiled slightly, trying to make light of Al's real condition.
'Poor kid.' he thought to himself before turn back round and continuing his walk.
"Ed tends to do things his own way, ignoring military regulation. A lot.It tends to put the Colonel in a bad position, him being Ed's immediate superior."He couldn't help but let out a small laugh at Ed and Roy's arguments about something he did.

"Younger brother? But he is so much bigger then Mr. Elric. It doesn't make sense." Emelie said with a puzzled look on her face.
She just couldn't grasp the concept of it.

"Yeah, not much about those two make sense until you know it all.But even then you still find yourself wondering about things."Jean gallantly held a door open for her. In the distance he thought he'd heard Ed.
"I think we're getting close."He grinned at his companion.

Fuhrer Bradley was wondering around for the heck of it. After his meeting with Sloth, he had nothing else to do. All his paperwork was caught up for now, and since he wasn't allowed to leave until either his 'siblings' reported or he found an excuse to leave, he was stuck here. He had heard wind of someone wanting to apply to become a State Alchemist. Excellent. If the plan with the Elric Brothers happened to fail, this new person could be a back-up soldier.
"Hello miss," Bradley said, putting on a smile, making his black mustache curl up slightly. "I hear you're looking to become a State Alchemist? My name is Fuhrer King Bradley. You may call me Bradley. At least until you pass your exams...eh?" Now that he actually looked at the girl, he saw that she was quite young. First the Elrics, then that Tai kid, followed by Deven, and now this girl. What was today's youth coming too? It didn't matter to him, though. All the more pawns to play with.
"You're awfully young to apply for a Stat Alchemist position, aren't you? The exams are already past due, you can't apply without special permission. Of course, if you're really determined, I could make an acception. What do you say, miss?"

Jean didn't falter as the Fuhrer appeared suddenly.
"Sir."He saluted neatly with a small smile for friendliness, then stood to the side as the military leader spoke to Emelie.
He wondered why on earth the Fuhrer was here. Did he come here specifically for Emelie?
He decided to tell Mustang about this later.

"At ease, son," Bradley said as Havoc saluted him. He got a strange feeling from the blonde haired man. He wagered a guess as to what would happen once he left. But if he wanted to maintain his image as a Fuhrer and keep suspicions low, he would have to come up with an ample excuse as to his presence here.
"I had come here to try and catch up with my secretary," Pride lied. Well, it wasn't wholly a lie. He did want to ask Sloth about the State Alchemists that had failed their exams earlier in the year. People had been complaining that they hadn't had a fair shot. Maybe giving this kid a chance would help smooth things over with the public.
"It seems she's vanished, though. I overheard that this young lady wanted to be a State Alchemist. The youth today seem so well advanced in the science, I thought maybe I'd give her a shot. You don't have any objections, do you 2nd Lietenant Havoc?"

Jean was rather surprised by the Fuhrer's actions and words, but hid it well.
"None at all sir.I was actually planning on taking her to Edward Elric, sir."He stood 'at ease' as the Fuhrer had asked, but still felt tense, knowing something more was up.

Emelie couldn't believe it here she was standing before the Fuher of the military and he was offering a chance to take her entrance exam.
She didn't expect it to happen so soon, she figured she'd get put on some list an have to wait a while. It was almost too good to be true.
"Sir, I would be honored even at the chance to take the exam."

"Then, what are we waiting for?" Bradley asked in a friendly tone. He gestured for her to stay were she was for a moment.
"I'll go and get the examination sheet," he said with a smile. He was about ot head off when he remembered something. He took a white envelope from his coat pocket and handed it to Havoc.
"This is for Colonel Mustang," he said, more serious this time. "Tell him his request to be transfered here to Central has been approved. Also let him know that he may bring a maximum of five subordinates with him here. If he has any questiosn then he's free to see me in my office. Thank you for tending to our young friend here. Dismissed."
Bradley fished out a semi-thick packet from a file folder at the other end of the room. He hadn't bothered to wait for Havoc's response. Everything was falling perfectly into place, just as it should.
"After you're done with this test, please let me see it and then we will have you try the practical exams, where you'll demonstrate your alchemic ability."

Jean took the envelope, casting it a curious glance as he saluted the Fuhrer, before turning on his heel.
He gave Emelie a thumbs up to wish her luck before heading to Mustang's office.
He hoped the Boss and Hawkeye were done with whatever they were discussing earlier as he rounded the corner to the office.
He stopped outside, knocking three times and waited for an answer.

Emelie couldn't belive it, she hadn't expected to take her exam right then and there. To be honest she felt a little unprepared but she couldn't let them see that. She took a deep breathe to clear her nerves.
"Yes sir. Where shall I take the written test at?"

"How does right here sound?" Pride asked kindly, gesturing to a vacant desk to the northen side of the room. "I have pencils and pens if you would like them. But if things are too noisy here, please tell me and I will arrange for a different location of your choosing."
"By the way," he added before going on. "Your name's Emelie, right? Nice name. I think I've heard of an Emelie before. Maybe you're the same person? Either way, please notify me once you have completed the written evaluation. My office is on the third floor, third door on your right when you walk up the stairs."
