Roy finally begins to relax in the other man’s presence, as relaxed as he could be wearing an open back paper dress. He looks harmless enough and hasn’t given any indication that he wants anything from him. But what the man just said makes him uneasy in a way he finds disconcerting and a little troubling. “Different worlds and different times. That’s a lot to digest. And since you asked, should I assume there are magic users among the others here?”
Mustang doesn’t know what to make of that, but he knows that of all the State Alchemists, he is the most dangerous, and that helps assuage some of the anxiety. “You mentioned taboos. We have three taboos in Amestris. No alchemist is to transmute lead into gold or use human transmutation. The final taboo is never to make an artificial human. Are there others I need to be aware of?”
