Grumman is such a laid back kind of man. So is Ross starting to regret this kind of life now?

I wonder how long it's been since she went away from her home and if she's on her own now...

I'm intrigued by the title of the chapter. She's still lost, still learning what life is all about and still not finding out what to do in the years to come because she's living on a one-day-at-a-time basis... oh wise author please, enlighten me... laughs.

I liked her encounter with that colonel, I think that calm expression in him can make what other fake ones haven't done anything yet.

And I think it's her second pocket watch... tell her I want one, one is enough, we could make a deal... grins... yes?... bye.

Hmm... This is very interesting. Hmm... Armstrong... I wonder if there is any relation between her and the Strong Arm...?

I see yuri. No use denying it, I see it, I tell you! O-O
Ooh, poor Martel. For all the times she rescued Ross, she wasn't able to save herself.
But a silver pocket watch, you say? I wonder, a State Alchemist's watch or just a pocket watch..?

Aw!

A hint of yuri, a hint of yuri... now I don't know anything at all anymore, the pairing here says Maria Ross and Martel but your summary says Ross x others... that is... what?

Poor Martel, you showed us some of the streets' rules, and that's okay, we always read fic about men and their strengh and all those macho stuff, but to read about women and their strengh is something truly different.

A silver pocket watch... ha! Ross stole it from a... a... a... silly state alchemist? or just a silly rich man? uhm...

Feelings always appear after some shocked scene, and this time it was manifested with a kiss, an innocent and yet desperate kiss I should say, because Martel is too vulnerable right now.
I wonder how Ross would have reacted if she'd seen Martel in such danger... her personality is not completely shown yet.

Nice work, I'm pleased... bye.

yays for the update... busy little demon... grins and doesn't look at her own stuff hovering...

silken :)

I like that!

Awesome, Maria Ross is my favorite female character on FMA. I hope Denny Brosh plays a part in this fic too.

Good for Ross but I hope she gets under some decent shelter or she'll get sick!

And here it is the partner, the other half of the pairing... Interesting, I like Martel too (or Marta on the translated anime into spanish)
I like how she wants to make her own path no matter what; not a lady, just a girl, I like that.

Thank you.

yes, i read everything you write... and a lot of stuff you don't... smirks...
i like she picked her name.. interesting touch... smiles

Cool, I'm looking forward to this story. Maria Ross is such an unappriciated character. I hope this has a little bit of RossxBrosh.


(Or however you like to spell his name- I've seen it a thousand different ways. Block/Brosh/Bloch/Bloche)

Martel? That's an unexpected twist, but not unwelcome. (Maria and Martel against the world :D)

I love Maria Ross too! I hope you plan on finishing this, it's a great start!
