What...

What was his price.

Al - what the hell was his price? Why did you agree in the first place? My baby brother and he lost his body because of me and - oh god.

[/private]

He - he gave it up again -

I am the worst brother on the planet. Everywhere, in fact. Oh god. This is not happening. No no no no -

WELL DON'T JUST HOLD THAT STUPID PDA TELL ME WHAT TO DO OR SOMETHING MUSTANG you always had an answer to everythin' to whatever shit I get myself into you have got to have an answer as to what I'm meant to do now -

[colonelflame]

When has my advise or answer ever actually been considered by you? You always do whatever the hell you want in the end regardless.

If you want to know what I think you should do...I don't have anything to say. You can't possibly think I actually know the protocol of what to do when your brother turns into a homonculus?

Don't throw this back in his face. It's obviously something he's done because he thinks it will benefit you and to take something like that and act ungrateful...it's low. Stand by him no matter what.

Don't throw that...that shit at my face, Mustang, that was a hell of a long time ago an' this is one situation that I have no idea what am I to do and crap I'm getting fuckin' hysterical over this but you always had an answer to everythin' why don't you have one now? Even just, just...anything!

[deep, shaky breath]

I. Of course I'm grateful, he just kind of handed my life back to me, but...I. This kind of Equivalent Exchange just sucks.

There is no answer Edward! That's the fucking answer. There's no manual on how to fix something this twisted, but the bottom line is you should do what you've always striven to do. Take care of your brother. If anyone can help him now it's you.

And don't yell at me when I'm just telling the truth!

...Don't waste his sacrifice Ed.

I.

What if...what if he doesn't need me anymore? I mean, if you turn into a homunculus you change and everything and well, you can see the difference between me an' Pride...I. I don't think I can stand him being different. What if. Oh god.

How can I not - I wasn't yelling I was just - okay, okay, fine I won't yell I'll try to calm down.

...

This isn't working -

I won't. That I'm sure of.

That's what I'm saying Ed. He might be different but somewhere in there he'll always be Alphonse, your brother. Don't forget that if...when he develops another personality.

That's good to hear.
