[ there's a soft huff of laughter underneath his breath at her comment before he begins down the hallway, stepping over the bodies with a well-practiced ease as they make their way back the way roy came. they don't get clear passage, but certainly easier than roy anticipated -- and, by now, the monitors are seeing the destruction wrought by the rescue party, and seem to have gotten the idea that this is turning into a disaster.
but the closer they get to the door, the closer roy sticks to riza's side. protective, careful to keep watch her back as they move forward. riza's admission that she had missed (even if she didn't miss, in roy's opinion) means she needs to get out, quickly, and that she also isn't at the top of her game. and she shouldn't be, all things considered.
so he moves with her, purposeful, but is definitely keeping a lookout more than he usually would, when riza is with him. he's her eyes, this time around. ]
