Thirty-sixth snapshot [Accidental Video]

May 30, 2010 02:22

[Maes' back is to the PCD as he kneels on the ground, carefully putting children's books away on a small shelf. A rather large stack of books rests in the crook of one elbow. He's singing very quietly, a lullabye. The top shelf is only half-full and the books keep trying to tip. Maes has nearly finished filling it when he puts several in too ( Read more... )

Mr Hughes.....?

brig_gen_maes May 30 2010, 07:33:55 UTC

Ah. Miss Winry.

You're back home safely?

endureandwait May 30 2010, 07:35:25 UTC

Yes. Sorry, but I do appreciate you having looked after me during that.

...Are you alright?

brig_gen_maes May 30 2010, 07:44:22 UTC

I didn't mind at all.

[He waves her question off.]

You know me. I'm always all right. There's just some mess to clean up around the house.

endureandwait May 30 2010, 07:47:44 UTC

Still, you didn't have to.

....If you need any help?

[Private//Unhackable] brig_gen_maes May 30 2010, 07:59:42 UTC

[He's silent for a very long time.]

Do you still visit them, Miss Winry? Back home?

[Private//Unhackable] endureandwait May 30 2010, 08:02:53 UTC

Yes. When I am in Central, at least. I work in Rush Valley most the time. I did visit them though, once I had heard....

The last I recall back home I was in Resembool though, after Ed left and went to meet up with Hohenheim and deal with that bearded Father person to stop the Promised Day.

[Private//Unhackable] brig_gen_maes May 30 2010, 08:24:18 UTC

Can I ask you something more personal?

[Private//Unhackable] endureandwait May 30 2010, 08:26:45 UTC

Ask me what, Mr Hughes....?

[Private//Unhackable] brig_gen_maes May 30 2010, 08:33:41 UTC

Did you blame your parents for dying? Did you feel betrayed?

[Private//Unhackable] endureandwait May 30 2010, 08:38:11 UTC

......

They...they had said "be a good girl, and we'll be back soon". But they weren't. I....never blamed them. How could I? I never felt betrayed, more....upset. They did what they felt was right. What they had to. They were so brave, helping everyone, Amestrian or Ishbalan. I couldn't feel betrayed when they did so much, saved so many lives. They were dedicated to their patients. I can't blame them for that. Even if....it meant losing their own lives, at the hands of a patient they helped save.

[Private//Unhackable] brig_gen_maes May 30 2010, 08:42:54 UTC

I'm sorry. I... I'm sorry, Winry.

[Private//Unhackable] endureandwait May 30 2010, 08:46:25 UTC

It's....okay, Mr Hughes. It wasn't your fault. Besides, seeing you, with Elysia and Mrs Hughes sort of reminded me of my parents, in a way. So...it's okay.

[Though she is not about to bring up Scar anytime soon, not unless asked.]

[Private//Unhackable] brig_gen_maes May 30 2010, 08:51:05 UTC

I...

[A small nod. He doesn't want to bring her down more, and she shouldn't be burdened by an old man's loss anyway.]

[[ooc: Maes is first-anime-verse, which means for him it's Roy that killed Winry's parents.]]

[Private//Unhackable] endureandwait May 30 2010, 08:54:26 UTC

....Mr Hughes?

[ooc: Of course. Which makes it all the more conflicting/amusing if and when she ever found out. He is free to have picked up on her mention of them being killed by a patient though.]

[Private//Unhackable] brig_gen_maes May 30 2010, 08:59:13 UTC

I promised her Daddy would be back.

[[ooc: He's a little distracted at the moment, but later he might pick up on that.]]
