homeless - feeling nostalgic ;;

[nurture]

So... you're feeling a little nostalgic, hm? It's alright to miss things you loved, silly!

You already know my thoughts on this. Even if it meant going somewhere 'like that,' to see the boys again... There's no question, is there?

[Trisha's smile softens further. It's clear who is on her mind.]

A mother belongs with her children. There's nowhere else I would rather be.

[scaary]

You're.... Edward and Alphonse's mother.

[nurture]

I am! [Have a warm smile, Izumi.]

Are you a friend of Edward and Alphonse...?

[forgenerations]

There can be no mistaking it. I can clearly pinpoint the physical traits which must have been passed down the Elric family for generations! It is an honor to finally meet the mother of the Elric brothers, an honor which I'm not ashamed to admit produces the manliest of tears!

[alksjdf Alex... you've taken her aback! She isn't sure what to do with this, looking a little... stunned, for a few beats--]

[nurture]

[--before she's laughing, looking a little embarrassed and pink-cheeked.]

You must be one of the boys' friends from Centrel? I'm so happy to meet you! [But hold on, here... she's reaching into the pocket of her apron, and holding out a tissue with a smile.] Please don't make a mess of yourself on my account...!

[forgenerations]

[He grabs the tissue with a smile, but he daps his eyes as if it were a family object.]

Thank you, Madam. I am indeed one of their friends from Central. I am known as Major Alex Louis Armstrong, the Strong Arm Alchemist! But no formalities are needed for the mother of those I hold dear. They have grown to be skilled beyond any of my expectations. You have every reason to be proud of them.

[nurture]

[Alex, you're such a gentleman. ;;]

Please, call me Trisha. A friend of Edward and Alphonse's, and someone from Centrel... [There's gratitude in her eyes.]

Thank you, General, for looking after my boys. It means the world to me to know they've made such wonderful friends...

[forgenerations]

[He's trying not to tear up again, for her sake. That's right, Alex is showing self-awareness.]

If you so wish, Trisha. Keeping an eye on them has been my pleasure. Any possible inconvenience towards me has been repaid tenfold through all of the good they have done for Amestris. It seems that they have indeed made great friends wherever they have traveled. They truly have been a pair of prodigies amongst our alchemical order.

[nurture]

They can't help but take after their father. [Even if they might not understand that yet.]

You're so humble! But if there is anything I could do to offer my thanks...

At the least, you'll have to let me cook you a good meal. At least once! And I won't let you say no, so don't think I'll let you wiggle out of it General!

[theboywiththebook]

Where is your mun going to send you?

[nurture]

I'm not sure I'll be going anywhere yet! But if I do... I'd like it to be where my sons are.

[She's smiling at him warmly.]

And how about you? Are you staying somewhere nice?

[theboywiththebook]

I'm staying in Mayfield right now...and it's not that great. It's okay sometimes but not all the time.

So who are your sons?

[nurture]

Mayfield? [She looks stunned at that... then concerned. That town is no place for children.]

...Are you alright? [The other questions can wait. ;;] Is anyone there to look after you?

[theboywiththebook]

Yeah, have you been there before?

Yeah, I'm okay. A lot of people seem to want to watch out for me. Jenny, Ed, Al, Barry. But I wanna help too.

oh baw what is this week, it's full of sadness

[automailed]

Don't... don't tell them to send you anywhere. I can't think of a place that's good enough for you.

[He just wants her safe.]

no take all the hugs! :(

[nurture]

Edward...

[Her expression immediately softens even further than it had. She never was much of a closed book, was she? Ed can see all the love in the world plain as day in those eyes as she reaches out to tuck some of his unruly bangs behind an ear fondly.]

You don't need to worry about me, silly boy. Are you taking care of yourself?

;A; mommy

[automailed]

[It's that love that makes him terrified as much as he craves it.]

Yeah... yeah, I am. So don't you worry either.

sonnnn..... ;;

[nurture]

How am I supposed to believe that while you're making such a sad face, Ed?

/clings to

[automailed]

[Aaaand a hasty backpedal.]

I-I'm not sad! It's just-

[Hrngh. This is harder than he thought it would be.]

...It's... it's been a while.

[hermetics]

[ He will beat this mun up if they take his mother anywhere with a tone that requires "like that" X( WATCH HIM. Thankfully he's had this reunion at least once on dear-mun anyway so he's not quite as shocked as he feels he should be.

Still a little painful though. Not even gonna lie on that one. ]

... If they bring you anywhere, it better not be less than perfect.

[nurture]

[fight me shortie...!!

Ed's eyes give him away -- though it isn't as though the look on his face isn't a little like a kicked puppy to begin with. Still, Trisha is smiling at him warmly.]

Wherever I go, you know I would be more than happy if I see you again, Edward. And Alphonse, too! Home is wherever the two of you will be and I can't ask for more than that.

[So don't worry about her!]

[hermetics]

[ WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PINT SIZED DWARF

He will worry all the same, but still manages a smile. Because home. With mom. It sounds so naisu ;~; ]

Heh. I guess. Though some of these places... [ Ed would threaten every one who so much as looked at his mom where he is. Which would not be helpful at all. ]

Al and I would keep you safe, though! No matter what kind of crazy things they try and throw your way. We've gotten really good at fighting and no place would stand a chance.

[automechanic]

Mrs. Elric?

[vividly]

You're not with your family right now...? I'm sorry...

[unexculpable]

[oh god his heart. everything hurts and nothing is beautiful.]

She's not...

She's not really thinking about sending you back there, is she?

[MAYFIELD IS NOT SAFE OK HE DOESN'T WANT YOU GOING THROUGH THAT SHIT AGAIN. ;A;]
