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.]

[anotherallnighter]

[Hey, this is almost awkward.]

They'll be okay, they always are.

[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.]

[hermetics]

[ What.

What. ]

... You've gotta be kidding me.

[madeanarmandaleg]

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

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

[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.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

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

[madeanarmandaleg]

[Hello fellow mature child.]

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

[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.

[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]

Rinoa. That's such a pretty name.

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

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

[littlebitofhope]

Well...he probably has a reason for it.

[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.

[hermetics]

What's that supposed to mean, you little brat? [ WHEN DID SHE GET SO ANNOYING UGH ]

[madeanarmandaleg]

I'm trying to respect that. I really am, but it's hard to understand that choice.

[littlebitofhope]

Why'd he make it?

[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.

[madeanarmandaleg]

I'm no brat Edward Elric! You are just lucky you have me! I just saved your life! [Okay with Granny's help, BUT STILL.] You're so ungrateful!

[madeanarmandaleg]

I keep hearing that, but I just left Ed recovering from automail surgery. It's hard to know that he's really going to be okay.

[hermetics]

Granny saved my life! You just --

[ Helped. Made his arm. And his leg. He sighs, pinching his nose. ]

Geez, were you always this much of a pain in the ass?

[madeanarmandaleg]

I'm not nearly as much of a pain in the ass as you are. You always make me worry about you. You jerk!

[sorcery_fledgling]

Rough. [Poor Winry... and Al and Ed. Ugh, why did they have to go through this?] Best thing to do right now is to have faith. Future is unpredictable, but a little optimism goes a long way.

[madeanarmandaleg]

Well, for good reasons. He made the choice for his little brother. I have to respect it.
