OOC: She'll be waiting for them for when they get home the next day. She'll have accidentally fallen asleep on an armchair while staying up waiting for them. Mama doesn't do many all nighters~

Welcome home, Al. Are you alright? You and your brother didn't get yourselves hurt, did you?

[His hands settle on hers, cupping them. When did he get so big?]
It's getting cold...

[She holds hands for a moment before giving them a quick squeeze with her smaller hands (it was only a year ago when she could fit both of her son's hands in her own). She then stands up from the chair and offers her son a smile]
It's that time of the year, I guess. How about I make us some hot chocolate before we go to bed to warm us up?

Give him a moment, and then he winds his arms around her for a close hug.]
That would be wonderful.

Alright! Let's go make it then.
[She holds onto his hand and leads him into the kitchen. She starts getting out the few ingredients she needs.]
Could you get me out a pan, please?

Here you go.
[He holds it out, by the handle. That same beaming smile.]

[She places the pan on top of the stove and she finishes setting out what she needs. She breaks up the chocolate that she got out and then, once she's finished with that, she gets out the milk and pours about two cups into the pan. She then adds the chocolate and some sugar to the mix and turns on the stove and lets it simmer. She begins to hum softly as the liquid comes to a boil and then she adds a bit more milk. After another moment or so, she turns the stove off.]
[She grabs the glasses that she got out earlier and carefully pours the hot chocolate into them. She finishes and holds out the steaming glass of hot chocolate to her son.]
Here you go, Al. Be careful not to burn yourself.
[She knows he knows better than that...but it's her motherly instinct just to remind him]

He chuckles as he takes the mug, sitting down at the table, hands cupped around the warm mug. He blows gently to cool it, then grins.]
... I remember when you'd do this when I had a bad dream.

I remember those nights. It wouldn't take long for you to drift to sleep after you had some hot chocolate. I had to carry you to bed most of the time because you fell asleep right at the kitchen table right next to your mug.
[She laughs at the memory]
You were so adorable back then, Alphonse.

Yeah, and when you lay me down, you'd kiss my forehead and touch my cheek. Every time... the same way.
