Envy did drop the smug smile, but only to replace it with one of disdain. Honestly, Mustang sounded JUST like Pride or Wrath. Bitching on and on about duty and regulations and rules and for a split second his eyes shifted to violet as he thought of how much he HATED being lectured. But he quickly caught himself and returned them to gold, watching Mustang ramble for a bit before interjecting.

"I'll tell you what. I'll write up one of those little reports you like reading so much and give it to you in the morning. Right now I'm a bit tired so I'm going to shower and get some sleep. Which incidentally, colonel, is something military officers are also required to do, rest."

Roy was not impressed with Eds aloof attitude, and he looked hard at the young alchemist.
"Fullmetal, I told you how seriouse this situation is, and I told you that if you disobeyd a direct order again that I would be forced to follow through with the military disciplinary actions for minors under the state alchemist program!"

Roy said then opend his desk drawer and pulled out a military crop,
"Over my desk for 12 strokes Fullemtal" Roy said resolutly he had never before enforced this bi-rule of the military on Ed before, but he had decided that it was the only methaod that was going to get Eds attiention about just how seriouse he was.

Envy paused with his back to Mustang, and considered his options briefly. He wanted to stun and maybe scare Mustang, and what better way than to take him when he was truly unexpecting? He smirked again and slowly turned around, adopting the almost nervous, chastised expression he had seen on Ed's face a few times when the teen was being scolded by someone close to him.

He played his role beautifully, edging toward the desk with a hesitant but obedient stride, even going so far as to whine at Mustang in Ed's voice.

"Colonel, come on...I just went to read up on some books, it's important research for me and Al. You can't expect me to take a baby sitter along just to the library!"

"You know the rules Ed, when I said not to leave HQ I meant it...anything could have happend to you out there, you could have been kidnapped or rapped......now over the desk, you can keep your trousers up, this is just to remind you that to not follow my instruction invites pain."

Roy said stoicly ignoring the pitaful looks Ed was giving him. He diddnt want to have to do this but it was the only way.

Envy gave Roy one last pout, then bent over the desk, perking out his backside a little more than was necessary on purpose. He grinned at the words Roy had spoken.

Oh how true they were, in fact maybe he SHOULD kidnap the chibi. That would be fun! But then, Father wouldn't like it and he might get sealed away for a few months like that one time...oh well, he would have to content himself with scaring Mustang.

Roy was slightly suprised that Ed was not putting up a fight, he was sure Fullmetal would have given him ore of an argument, Roy chalked it up to the boy being too surprised that he was actually going to follow through with the punishent.

Roy pulled Eds red jacket back and proceeded to bring the crop down hard and evenly on Fullemetals surprsingly pushed out backside.

A thought ran through Mustangs head...did the kid actually want this?

'Ed' bit his lower lip at the first swipe of the crop, then grinned. It was all ready starting to heal up, any lingering sting fading into nothing under the protection of leather pants. Envy wiggled his hips teasingly at Roy and spoke, again using Ed's voice.

"Mnn....Mustang..that..can't you hit any harder? I barely felt that one! Are you just playing around? Have you been hoping I would misbehave, fantasizing?" Envy couldn't help laughing, Roy was sure to get appalled and pissed and if Ed could see this well, it would be priceless.

Roy almost choked and stopped mid stoke,...his eyes wide, he was planning on going easy on the kid the first time, but this???..he had not expected this reaction.

"N-no talking Edward!" Roy finaly sputterd then raised the crop and stuck again this time using his whole arm to deliver the stoke, If Ed was trying to mess with him to get out of his punishment, then he was going to make him pay for it, Roy landed 3 stokes as hard as he could, hoping that would show Fullmetal that he meant business.

Envy hissed at the hard, fast swishes of the crop, then smiled. It was time. Time to truly fuck with Mustang's poor little mind.

In a sudden flare of alchemic energy and light, he returned to his favorite form and pulled himself up onto the top of the desk, sitting with one pale leg crossed over the other, his feet swaying a little. He casually tossed a few strands of hair over a pale shoulder and gave Roy his customary bastard grin.

"Hello Roy. I assume since I'm not O chibi-san I'm allowed to talk."

Roy could not have been more shocked, his face went pale and he no longer had a voice in which to speak, it was like he were frozen in time, mouth gaping open, him still holding the crop in mid swing.

"B-but you..how?"

Roy was not taken off gaurd more than 3 times in his life...this seemd like it was going to make number four on the list.
