re: on losing castmates and reserves opening soon

[alchimia]

All I'm saying is you shouldn't hold your breath. That kinda place isn't good for someone like her, and didn't Al say I made that promise? Alright, sure, it wasn't me, but still— It's better she stays home with her Ed rather than end up there.

'Sides, I'm perfectly capable of making sure I don't break my automail, so don't even think 'bout pushing that subject. After that last set she made me? I'm gonna make sure it lasts.

And no, just 'cause Al kept that damn colonel's stuff doesn't mean I want him showing up either. Same goes for... whoever that squinty-eyed bastard is you keep talking 'bout.

Promises, hm?

[alchimia]

Oops, did I slip into German? My bad.

[disillusions]

[ Sipping delicately at his tea. ]

Words mean so very little in this day and age.

[alchimia]

[ oh back up, we got a badass here. ]

Only to people who claim as much.

[disillusions]

[ dear_mun just can't handle all of this suave motherfucker. ]

Or to those who've lived long enough to know better.

[roy_mustang]

You sound unexpectedly lonely for someone so generally unsociable.

[alchimia]

[ he came.... that jerk. ]

[alchimia]

Unsociable? I'm the Fullmetal Alchemist! I'm famous! Besides, Al is with me.

[roy_mustang]

All the more reason to be surprised: I imagine if you were asked not too long ago, you would have said you'd never want anything else if you could at least be with him.

[alchimia]

[ grumbling something about wanting to rip that stupid eyepatch off the Colonel's face and— ]

I didn't say I wasn't glad he's with me. It's just he misses Winry, is all. He even kept your stuff. The baby.

[roy_mustang]

Ah, so you're only feeling sympathy for your little brother?

[kingmaking]

It's unfortunate she didn't get to teach anyone how to do maintenance on your automail before she left.

[alchimia]

Ah, well, she probably wouldn't have anyway. She's a stickler for details, y'know?

[ or in Ed speak: he doesn't feel comfortable with other people tinkering either. ]

[kingmaking]

Still, I hope nothing happens while she's absent. From my understanding, you have a tendency to get yourself into trouble.

[alchimia]

Merlin, you too...?

[ traitors, all of you. ]

[kingmaking]

[ he laughs. ] Oh, now, don't look at me like that. It's only out of concern.

[decks]

Isn't that always the problem with these games? We don't want people we love there, but we miss them when they leave anyway.

[Guess who sees through the tsun.]

[alchimia]

[ sputters. he expects support from you, gf. not to make his pride feel even more battered. ]

Even you... I didn't love her.

[decks]

[Eyeroll. And a hipbump. It is support, okay, bf.]

There's more than one kind of love, Ed. I didn't necessarily mean romantic.

[alchimia]

...

[ he knew that. ]

Right. Of course. Er.

[revolutionarygirl]

I think it's only natural to miss your friends when they aren't around, even if you don't want them to be where you are for their own good...

[She actually misses Himemiya a lot.]

1/2

[alchimia]

...I didn't say anything 'bout missing anyone.

[alchimia]

But yeah, I guess that's true...

[revolutionarygirl]

Haha, sorry about that. I guess it's just obvious that you miss her. [Even to Miss Oblivious to Everything here. That's saying something.] But hey, that's not a bad thing.

[alchimia]

[ as;lkgh ] I-I didn't say I miss her!
