have a bb Winry ;;

[madeanarmandaleg]

[She blinks a few times. Her eyes are wide and she's definitely fascinated, though she also appears somewhat sad and reserved. She acts much older than her eleven years.]

Well, I've never seen a place like this before. And I'm really curious about that machine you are working on. I'd just love to find out how it...that's not important right now. I really don't have time for this, I have things to do you know. Automail to make. Two idiot brothers to keep an eye on. I'm a very busy girl you know!

I may be young, but I have some really important things to keep fighting for.

After all, [She hangs her head, thinking about the best friend who is in a suit of armor, and the other best friend who is recovering from automail surgery.] I have to take care Ed and Al right now. They really need Granny and I. So...can I please just get back to them?

I really hope they are going to be okay.

Winry...?

[She's so little... Rinoa almost isn't sure what to make of this.]

[madeanarmandaleg]

[She tilts her head to the side. Pretty lady though.]

Yeah, that's me. Do we know each other?

[sorcery_fledgling]

Um, we do in a game you're in. You're a lot older in it, though. My name's Rinoa.

[madeanarmandaleg]

Rinoa. That's such a pretty name.

So you know me when I'm all grown up, I guess?

[sorcery_fledgling]

Thank you! I've always liked yours better, personally.

Pretty grown up, yeah. And hey, don't worry about Al and Ed. From what I ehar, they're gonna be just fine in the end.

[anotherallnighter]

[Hey, this is almost awkward.]

They'll be okay, they always are.

[madeanarmandaleg]

[all of the awkward!]

Yeah. They are. They just really got into trouble this time. And now they want to be even more stupid and go join the military.

[She doesn't look entirely convinced. And she looks rather confused, cause it's like looking into a mirror...only she's older and so pretty and...she can't help but just stare for a long moment.]

[littlebitofhope]

[seems 'old beyond their years' is a thing around these parts, what with the solemn-faced 13 year old sitting nearby.]

...yeah, you sound busy.

[He doesn't know what automail is but he can appreciate keeping people out of trouble, and fighting for things. Though the kind of fighting he's thinking of probably isn't anywhere near the same. Not as much collateral damage, for one.]

[madeanarmandaleg]

[Hello fellow mature child.]

It sounds like we all really are. Until we just get stuck up inside their heads.

[littlebitofhope]

...it's not that horrible. It gives me time to get stronger.

[And to deal with losing one of the very very few people in his life that matter to him, sob.]

[madeanarmandaleg]

Yeah. You sound a lot like the friend I'm worried about. Always trying to get stronger. [Not like she is one to talk.]

[hermetics]

[ What.

What. ]

... You've gotta be kidding me.

[madeanarmandaleg]

[And you look just like...Ed. What is this wacky place.]

No kidding! It's not my fault I'm stuck here. Blame her.

Anyways...you look a lot like someone I know. Sound a lot like him too. But you're way too tall.

[hermetics]

[ TALL *A* But wait that means she's calling 11 him short wait -- ]

I WAS ONLY ELEVEN, YOU CAN'T JUDGE A GUY ON BEING SHORT BEFORE HE'S EVEN HIT PUBERTY!

[madeanarmandaleg]

Yeah. You're definitely Ed alright.

[She huffs and tosses her head to the side.] Glad to see that some things don't change.

[paidanarmandaleg]

I don't need to be taken care of. I'm just fine.

[madeanarmandaleg]

[Oh thank goodness, the one she's familiar with.] You should be still resting you know!

[paidanarmandaleg]

Talking isn't gonna hurt me any.

[madeanarmandaleg]

Yeah. I guess. So long as you aren't hurting. [She's kind of blushing as she looks at him.]

[hands4healing]

[Have a version of you that's about twenty, Winry, and sporting a baby-baby bump.]

It'll all turn out okay!

[madeanarmandaleg]

How do you know that?

[Oh boy. This place massively confuses her. First a teenage her, then an Ed mentioning proposal, and now babies?

Her eyes go a bit wider.]

And why do you look like me?

[hands4healing]

Because I was in your shoes, not too long ago.

[madeanarmandaleg]

Does that mean...when I grow up, I'll become you?

[songofsoaring]

You really love your brothers, don't you?

[It sure did sound like she was talking about her brothers.]

[madeanarmandaleg]

Well, they aren't exactly my brothers. Like them though. They are family no matter what.
