I can survive without Al and Winry, you know.

[He doesn't like it, but he can and will manage without them if he has to.]

Besides, thought there were a couple that might want to bring in Al, right? So, just need to find Winry. Be nice to have some back up if my arm gets busted, especially since Varon's gone.

Maybe you shouldn't break it, if that's what you're worried about.
alkahestic: (in the city where we still reside)

[ Who's Lan Fan? And he totally does give him credit! He's just thinking of his best interests in hopes of preventing any future wrench induced concussions... ]

If you say so, Brother. You know Winry will worry anyway.
alkahestic: (leaving everything behind)

[ Never heard of him. But he's sure the guy is nicer than Ed is making him out to be. ]

She worries about both all the time. You are taking good care of yourself, right?
alkahestic: (he catches his reflection on accident)

[personal profile] alkahestic 2012-07-13 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, it's a wonder he has any friends at all... I mean what. ]

...Isley? Has that place been really rough on you? [ A worried hum. ] I'll try to convince my mun a bit more to finish her app. That way you won't be alone.
alkahestic: (but no one ever tells you that)

[personal profile] alkahestic 2012-07-13 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Apparently not a word in his genius level vocabulary. ]

The Door... [ brb filing any further comments on that away for later. ] I'm glad you weren't too badly hurt. It's good you're keeping safe. But I hope you haven't been slacking off too much.
alkahestic: (wondering if you ever think of me)

[ He knows his brother's tendency to... relieve frustration quite well and he frowns a bit at the mention of a death. Ed doesn't say it, but Al figures his brother was likely affected as well. It prompts a slight, concerned frown. ]

I'm sorry, Brother. That Lupin person must've been important. You shouldn't have to face that alone. Is Hermione alright, though? She seems like a nice person.

[ He'll be more worried about the state of Ed's fists... after he sees about repairing the walls. ]

It isn't? But... How is that possible?

[ Everything in their life had been about the permanence of death. Aside from the whole... using the Philosopher's Stone bit, but those were extenuating circumstances. For the moment, he's recalling a bloodstained teddy bear and his brother's cautions that the dead can never be brought back to life. ]
alkahestic: (like brothers on a hotel bed)

[ Oh, Ed... Sometimes, it's too easy to forget that this Ed is not the Ed he knows. The banter and feeling always the same. Especially now when he can see a flicker of grief in his brother's face. Without him and without Winry... was this how his own brother had felt when he'd been trapped on the other side of the Gate?

For now, he manages an encouraging smile. A smile, something not possible in a suit of armor. ]


I know you will, Brother. You definitely will, see? It doesn't matter which world we're from, I know you'll always find a way.

[ His own smile hitches up a bit more (but it doesn't quite meet his eyes thanks to the mention of the Stone; after all, he'd been willing to use it for Ed's sake...) and he nods. ]

Mm! And I'll definitely find a way to restore you too!

[ And even if he knows his own sacrifice will be in vain (so-to-speak), he's certain this Ed's brother will find a way. Just like he's certain Ed will do so as well. Broken childhood promises mean nothing when he knows this is the one Ed will certainly keep. ]

Your arm? Seems like a pretty easy do-it-yourself job if y'ask me.
alkahestic: (when everything's so wrong)

[ There was also the little detail that the Truth accepted alchemy in exchange. If only either of them had known that... ]

But auto-mail has its problems too, Brother. [ Stern look. ] Does it still make your muscles ache sometimes? You've been doing your stretches, right?

[ And hell, if he had another chance, he'd want to restore Ed's limbs (again). Though the extents he might go to achieve that might be a bit more questionable than what limits Ed might have. ]
spacepheasant: smile (/snicker)

You got a mouth, doncha? Get some string to keep stuff tied up instead of holdin' it. Maybe try some chewin' gum.

[Because that will make up for another arm. Obviously.]

Just hold stuff in your mouth, and keep parts together with some chewin' gum! What, y'never improvised a little before?
