About that drop at mayfield_rpg...

[unexculpable]

First of all, I'm still pissed at you for dropping.

More importantly... Al and Winry did WHAT?

Nice. Really nice, guys. I end up a drone and you deal with it by talking about me behind my back. [There's anger in his voice, but his face displays an entirely different emotion -- relief.]

Well, it's better than crying over me...

...Brother...

[unexculpable]

Hang in there, alright?

[snacklist]

R-Right!

I won't let you down, Brother, don't worry.

[equinamity]

I'm glad you've gone home safely, Edward.

[rocketry]

A.. drone?

[unexculpable]

Heh, I know you won't. Keep an eye on mom and Winry for me.

If either of you even think about crying I'll kick both your asses when you get home, got it?

[unexculpable]

It's kind of funny. I spent all that time wishing I was home and now that I am the only place I want to be is there. I didn't want to leave without all of you.

[unexculpable]

Yeah. They're empty shells of the person they once were, implanted with some fake personality. Creepy as hell knowing there's one wandering around Mayfield wearing my face.

[rocketry]

An agreeable Edward would certainly be bizarre.

[unexculpable]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

I can be agreeable when I want to be.

[rocketry]

Which is.. when?

[snacklist]

[His voice might sound just a little choked up.]

Y-Yeah right, you've never kicked my ass, Brother.

[handsforhealing]

You know we talk about you behind your back all of the time right?

[unexculpable]

[W O W. RUDE.]

W-When I want to be!

[rocketry]

You're still not bothering to solve for x. It's a very simple equation, Edward.

[unexculpable]

[Alphonse no stop it.]

There's a first time for everything, Al. Don't push your luck.

[unexculpable]

That's not the point!

[snacklist]

Then... we'll have a rematch when I see you again at home, okay?

[unexculpable]

Why bother when I already know the answer?

[unexculpable]

Definitely. I'll be waiting.

[His smile fades and he's quiet for a moment.]

You know I wouldn't have left if I could've helped it, right? I never wanted to leave without all of you.

[handsforhealing]

Well stop complaining. We aren't even saying anything... Too bad.

[rocketry]

You're not solving it for yourself. Though perhaps it's part of your somewhat inexplicable charm?

[priceofmagic]

Um.. Hey. I'll um.. Look after Alphonse...

[snacklist]

I know, Brother. It's not your fault.

[He reaches out and rests a hand on Ed's shoulder, there's no way at all he blames him. After all, he had been gone before too.]

[theboywiththebook]

Ed...you'll remember us all, right?

[acitywithnopeople]

Did you say good-bye to someone?

[equinamity]

I'm sure.

But we will be all right, and you can't worry too much about us. We've survived in Mayfield before and we will now.

I am much happier to know you are home safely, even if we are still here.
