[ riza is not fine, because roy distinctly remembers her condition, and how the alkahestrist -- mei -- had healed riza at roy's begging (though, truth be told, mei likely would have healed riza regardless, but roy had definitively begged her to do it). ]
I don't need alchemy to defend myself. [ to answer her later concern first, and roy gently tugs -- leading her toward a safer area, instinctively, so he can continue talking to her, and to bring her closer to a place to heal her wounds, if riza should suddenly materialize without notice. ] Our primary concern is finding a place for you, once we fix . . . whatever this is. The girl from Xing, Mei Chang -- she healed you, from this. [ with a slight wave of his free hand, a gesture of his gloved fingers towards riza's wounds. ] And if alchemy and alkahestry are neutralized here, then we need a hospital.
[ that, judging from roy's tone, is not optional. riza first. roy second. ]
