[ roy had explained to her what was going to happen. how his plans, and ideas, and maes, were going to come into play. and while she didn't feel comfortable leaving roy inside while all this was happening, she had also been able to work herself into a state of enough self awareness that she understood that she needed to get out. and once she did that she'd be of better use.
that is the only reason (or well, the main one) that when hughes appears in her room, she does not actually pull the trigger - rather, just has the pistol pointed directly between hughes' eyes, her own gaze tight. and it's also why, once she has a second to process the appearance of general maes hughes in her room, she lowers the gun and immediately flips the safety back on. ]
Sorry, sir. Habit. [ hopefully he doesn't notice the way her hands are shaking slightly. hopefully. ]
