New muse say what...

[couldntwait]

Well this is quite a surprise! Thank you for the opportunity. [Momma smile! She's quite happy to be around!]

Now if you could help me find my boys, I'd be very grateful. You can't miss them!

YAY T__T MOMMY

[hermetics]

[ Relieving is one way to put it. He just wishes Al was standing next to him right now so he could see this too. It's not fair that Ed should get to when his little brother gave up so much more to try and see this, is it? At least not to an angster like this one :|

He swallows, trying to stop any chin trembling that might be going on there, trying to push back any tears that might be wanting to form.

Still, there's the smallest of smiles that manages to get out at that, even if the voice attached is a little shaky. ]

I... heh, yeah... Thanks...

[ It feels ... wrong to just stand there. Forgetting about whether or not he thinks he deserves one, he lets his six-year-old instincts take control, going to latch onto her in a hug that is probably a hell of a lot tighter than it used to be when he was a little. All his strength then wasn't really that much, after all. ]

;w; BABY~

[couldntwait]

[Surely Al will be along sometime! Don't fret too much! His look does concern her though, all things considered. She did leave them, albeit not by her decision... That's surely contributing, but...]

[Her arms will slip around her baby boy and pull him in tight. Yup. That's a mom-hug alright. Real, legit, warm Mom-hug. One that's well overdue.] Not to mention strong I guess! [She pulls him back to look him over a moment, and then.. welp.. right back into hug-mode. ;A; Momma missed her babyyyy!]

HE HAS MISSED HER SO and all he got as a prize at the game he's in is papa hoho. unsure.

Ah - sorry... [ He relaxes his grip after that comment, though not by much! Automail just makes it tricky, that's all. Still, clinging forever and ever and just not letting go. ] I've done a lot of training since - since the last time I got to hug you. Teacher taught Al and I that you have to strengthen your body as well as your core in order to be a successful alchemist.

AWW /reaches forrrr

[couldntwait]

It's fine, don't worry! [Hm? Surely she feels that steel, and man, insta-concern about that!] Edward, your arm... Is that...? [Cling all you want, but she is investigating, mister.]

/clings to

[hermetics]

[ Aw, man, Mom T_T He shifts a little, mostly to try and get it out of investigative reach. ] It's - it's nothing, Mom, not a big deal.

8D

[couldntwait]

[But but but she's 100% sure there is something not right and momma worry face and and and :< Make sense of that!]

That didn't feel like nothing...

[hermetics]

[ All the sense was made. He goes up to rub his shoulder, because this is one talk he's scared to have. Extremely scared. The last thing he wants is for his mom to look at him like he's an idiot and an asshole at that because of what he's done - what he did to himself and Al. ]

I'm okay. Really. I -

It's just been... you know, a while. A lot's happened...

[couldntwait]

[Incoherent babbling is my specialty. As if she'd think any less of them. Her boys are on the highest of pedestals, and there isn't much they could do to knock themselves off of that.]

[She considers what he says a moment before nodding.] I'm sure... It's been a long time; but... I still want to know...

[hermetics]

[ You aren't as bad as my wife. I speak incoherent babble fluently because of her.

He's quiet for a long time, not quite looking at her, still feeling mucho shame. But finally, he gives a sigh, because you can't so no to moms, right?

Closing his eyes, he shrugs off his coat to show her his arm, turning his head away so he doesn't have to look at her. ]

... Winry made it for me.
