Description
Vaguely regarding the recent events of the manga. I considered making it more overtly shippy but decided against it in the end. I love Royai not for any obvious romance (because there is none) but for all the small moments and intimate silences that make up their relationship.Roy technically should be wearing his black coat here...maybe he'll take it off in the next chapter?

Could I have your permission to use this picture as a cover image for some of my stories on ff.net? We're supposed to ask for it, even though more people end up ignoring that rule, and I think this picture really represents exactly what you said, how Royai is all about the small moments and intimate silences. Credit will be given on my profile.

I agree with ~chocolatealchemist . I love the coloring. And your drawing style. Your depiction of the characters is lovely. I love Riza's small smile. Both her and Roy's expressions are very subtle and just so Royai.

Oh.... WOW. Wow, this is beautiful...... ;A;
That is the same reason I love Royai so much. That chapter, Roy with Riza's gun at his head, I was choking, holding back tears. )':

I like your outlook on their relationship! They're not overly lovey-dovey, but it is obvious they care for each other deeply...
Amazing drawing! I always envy people who can color things to make them looked washed out... for some reason, I can't imitate it! So good job!

I agree with you...their lack of an obvious romance makes their relationship all the more interesting.

This is a great picture. Love their face expressions.
And I agree too, unlike a lot of other anime/manga couples their relationship isn't as obvious but their small moments make it all the more stronger.

Love it!
I agree with you, the subtle relationship is what makes me love Royai so much. I'm afraid of them getting married or something like that in the end and making me stop shipping it ;_; It always happens to me.

Thanks!
I think the subtle nature of their relationship is partly due to the circumstance of their situation though, so it would be nice if they were able to openly love each other some day.

Very nice. I like how the colours have certain softness to them.
I agree, their relationship is about small/subtle moments. Yet it's still clear that they really care about each other.
