Blue uniforms swarmed and buzzed around Central's military headquarters like a hive that had recently been kicked by a foolish child. The lingering effects of recent wars and the unsurpassed power of the military had given all of its recruits, both young and old, a sudden and long lasting burst of work to do. And really, it was all thanks to him, but it wasn't like any of the stupid pathetic little worms would ever realize they owed their livelihoods to him.

Envy sneered faintly as he moved in and out of busy officers, wearing the mask of a young, but sharp eyed lieutenant. It wasn't nearly as attractive as his preferred form but at least it wasn't some ugly perverted old priest. And after all, it was perfect for his current assignment, follow and watch one Edward Elric. Gather information on his movements and research and if possible, keep him from causing grief for Father.

The sin couldn't quite hide the excitement in his currently hazel eyes. He LOVED hunting for the shrimp. The boy was engaging and easily enraged. It was great amusement! And keeping Father happy at the same time wasn't so bad either.
