...
What was that thing!? Hibird it was called... Shura leaned closer to inspect it and then burst out laughing. That was the weirdest living creature he had ever set his eyes on. Amestris was exotic alright. The samurai quit his laughing and took an apple. Hell, if it was poisoned, let it be. He really didn't care. Coughing slightly, he took a bite. Within moments, it was devoured. The meat pies seemed okay as well. He took one rather daintily and then wolfed it down as it was his nature. "You make this, eto...?" He knew the snake man's name now was Fang--hah, how befitting--but he had no idea of this guy's name. He seemed...pleasant enough. Very unlike what Shura had been...expecting...

He took another pie, but ate it slowly now. He didn't really want to appear rude and he had no idea of Amestrian customs or anything. He could easily be doing something wrong by taking more than his share whereas in Aerugo that would be a very good sign. He was unsure so he toned down his speed. What really interested him though, was WHY he was here. "Ne, you both do know that I was just the military commander, right? Just because Ma--Veil is..is dead doesn't mean that the next emperor in line won't take his place. You're also not the Fuhrer of Amestris. What exactly is going on here?"

Fang sat in silence glaring distastefully at the bird. He really didn't like that bird and the bird didn't like him. It was a love-hate relationship. They loved hating each other. Fang grabbed an apple and threw it into the air and caught it before chomping down on it in a rather over-dramatic death note-esque fashion. He had nothing really else to say at the moment so stayed silent and as normal for him when he went silent began to gradually fade into the background till you had to strain to see him. Then he spoke.

"Assassination is often the best way to stop unnecessary death." he said calmly half to himself. "Or at least that is what people would like to believe. However, in most cases there is an even better way, such as me bringing Shura back here." He looked over at Shura then back at Kidato. "Kidato...do you have any candy? I believe our new friend would like some if you do." He watched Shura carefully. He wanted to see how he would react to the mention of candy. He wanted to know little triggers for people which he could use if necessary.

"I am good friends with the Fuhrer, so you could say we work together sometimes. Though she needs to learn what decency means (my back still hurts from the last time I defended her pride)," The man then smiled as he lifted his shirt enough to show the bandages around his torso, before lowering it with a smile, "I'm great against humans but against rocks, I fail." He joked with a smile, before he turned to Fang's request with childish eyes. Candy? Of course he had candy!

"I love candy!" He said with a wide grin as he ran into the kitchen, quickly coming back with about five large containers of different kinds of candy mixes, you could say he had every candy in Amestris (and if you looked through all his cupboards, you'd probably be proved correct), and that's alot of candy.

Happy, he placed the five containers down and began to open them with a smile his trusty yellow puff-ball of a companion opening some as well as they finally managed to open up all five. Grinning, he took a lollypop from one of the containers, unwrapped it and began to suck on it happily (cola was his favourite) as he stated, "You're the guests, have as much as you want, the lady at the candy store always loves giving me the left overs, says I'm the best customer she's got, hehe, I bet when I have kids they'll have my sweet tooth, though unfortunately I haven't met a woman who can handle my hellish lifestyle yet... Well, a nice woman anyway."

Shrugging off his babble he gave the bird a small chocolate-covered peanut as he sat down (minding the wound on his back thanks to that god damned rock) and slipped off the apron, smiling as Hibird landed on his head. Wife or not, he loved his life, and it was good to have a reputation as the world's nicest hitman, he's wellknown yet everyone still loves him for him, he just as that effect on people~

Right, right this was pleasant and all, but...he was sort of...not in Aerugo anymore. He was brought here by an assassin sent to kill him, enjoying meat pies, and now...candy?! What the hell?! Shura was so confused. But his hands acted on a whim without conscious thought. He found himself grasping pieces and taking the glorious sugar into his mouth, thanking the man with each crumple of the wrapper. Wait!! His mind called to him as he stared with dull green eyes at the man who claimed to be friends with the Fuhrer. Shura wouldn't believe him until he saw proof.

That wasn't the issue, however, there was something much more dire on his plate. And it wasn't candy this time. The man had deftly dodged his question and left him once again in a predicament. Now what... he couldn't very well ask it again flat-out. He had his own resolve to uphold. Shura sighed and swallowed. "You should answer my question before I eat all your candy." He nodded, a pleasant grin on his face.

"Until a new emperor is...I suppose the word crowned is correct...you are in charge of all of the Aerugese army." he said with a shake of his head. "However, that will not be a problem." he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "This is a copy of Veil's will and in the event of his death...you are in charge of all of Aerugo until the new emperor is crowned and even when they are you will be in complete control for three months whilst the new emperor performs certain duties." He handed the paper to Shura allowing him to see for himself. "That was why I was sent to eliminate you. Without a leader your army would be easy to eliminate...and they would be more likely to want to send in the full force of the army so we could take them all out at once." He sat down and grabbed a lollipop and began to suck on it. He pulled it out for a second and spoke again.

"Whilst your in charge you can write a treaty or something. Sure the new emperor might want to break that treaty, but if YOU are the one to have written it...I doubt the people will want to break follow it. Afterall, you share some of Veil's...mysticism." He put the lollipop back in his mouth and leant back on the chair sucking on it waiting for Shura to respond.
