Seriously? You're planning a whole storyline based off this crap? And now you're trying to drag other people into it besides Al's mun.

You're batshit, lady.

I liked the stuff where I beat the crap up Lelouch and Light better. Supposed to be having a drink with Kallen and Suzaku, y'know.

[He had followed the tug, feeling a bombardment of emotions from his sacrifice through the bond they shared. Embarrassment, anger, curiosity...Roy was determined to see the cause of all of this as was his duty to protect her.

Long arms slipped around his Ed's waist, pulling her gently back against his body as his dark gaze flicked up to meet this other Ed. It was still strange to see other forms of his lover] Making new friends already? [This was directed to his sacrifice even if his gaze still lingered upon the other Ed, trying to decide if there was a possible threat or not. If he had a tail, it would have been flicking]

[faithlost]

[She'd felt Roy approach while the other Ed talked - distracting her a bit from the words, and if Ed had been paying attention she might have noticed the shift take place.

Still golden eyes widened as she was tugged back to Roy. She didn't answer his question, even if her posture visibly relaxed with his presence, tail swaying slowly. She rests a hand on Roy's arm, addressing the other Ed when she speaks.]

Getting as far away as you can might be the best course of action for you both.

[ Jerked from her thoughts by a familiar voice, she looks up to see the newcomer. None other than someone they had just been discussing. It's hard to force down the blush that threatens to resurface and she scowls as a result. tsuntsuntsun

Of course, seeing them as close as they are doesn't help. She isn't sure how to respond to that. Then again, she thinks, how would her other self respond if Al were to show up and pull a similar stunt? It's awkward and embarrassing to say the least.

After managing a slightly challenging look towards Mustang, she scoffs, gaze shifting to the ground again, finding it a good subject to glare at for the moment. ]

That is why we're leaving. West maybe, or maybe east. The old man came from back east... Either way, as long as it's out of the reach of the military.

We had to do it once before, after Liore. We can do it again, without others' help.

[ At this, she gives another look at Mustang, as if daring him to provide some kind of sarcastic remark. ]

[He seemed to relax himself as the two continued, not at all put off that he was more or less completely ignored. His arms stayed around his sacrifice, thumb stroking over her abdomen as he continued to watch the other Ed, more curiosity now that he didn't find a threat with her. He had noted the look directed to him but shrugged it off, far too used to it from his own Ed] Running from the military? Is that something you think you can keep up for long?..although with your short stature, maybe hiding would be easy for you.

[Ed would think nothing of the other Ed and her own Al standing in a similar position, before this conversation had come so far - because she was close enough with her own Al that standing like this wasn't so far out of the ordinary to catch her attention.

She does notice the way the other looks at Roy, though. As if he's the one from her own world, the one that all her feelings were aimed at. Her jaw clenched at that, she remembered hiding out after Liore - she remembered going after Sloth with their mother's remains. To some extent she knew exactly what her other self was referring to.

At Roy's words her grip on his arm tightens, as if in warning.]

It's not running away if papers were filed to relieve her.

[ The look that immediately crosses her face as Mustang makes a crack at her height is very familiar. And were it not for years of tempering, combined with the weight on her chest that is the knowledge of what she's done to accomplish her and Al's escape, she would react with just as much anger and violence as she did when she was younger. But she isn't twelve anymore. She isn't sixteen either, and two years spent living with Al in his real body has given her a bit more patience.

Mustang won't get away without a comeback, though. ]

Ed's right. I got the paperwork. Besides, certain people in the military should know better than to mess with their greatest asset.

[faithless_roy]

[He felt the tightening upon his arm, his own grip upon his sacrifice loosening some. He quirked a brow slightly at his Ed's words before nodding] My mistake. [He had walked in mid conversation and did not know all of the details, for once this not bothering him. His attention instead falling to the woman in his arms, as always drawn to her and wanting to touch her]

[faithlost]

[It was like looking into a skewed mirror, dealing with this other self. She was still so feisty, so angry and sure their circumstances were different... which she knew had a lot to do with it. If it hadn't been for the bond, her situation with Roy would have been very different-

but she'd never considered what that change might have altered between her and Al.]

The military should have no reason to come after you now, regardless of Al's situation.

[Really, she's just trying to be supportive - but it's hard wrapping her head around that whole ordeal. Such an alien concept from a world so much like her own.

Of course the same could probably be said of their history, which is noted with a hint of irony as her tail flicks against Roy's leg idly.]
