[Accidental Video Post, middle of the night after Winry leaves]

[Edward is pacing back and fort in the yard, he's still wearing Kanji's clothes, they're swimming on him but he doesn't care. He's stepping with uneven steps back and forth in front of a tree. He looks confused and anguished. Where he should be is in bed, resting, healing, but Ed doesn't seem to care

[cyberelric]

Yeah...trees suck.

[nods along and goes back to polishing bits of armour] I'm sure the tree meant no harm.

[cyberelric]

I'm sure it did.

[merlinastrice]

What did the tree do?

[Locked]

[cyberelric]

It looked at me the wrong way.

[Locked]

[merlinastrice]

I wasn't aware that trees could look, let alone the wrong way.

[cyberelric]

This one did!

...What's the matter, Ed?

[cyberelric]

Nothing Merlin. I'll be fine. I'm sure I will.

[merlinastrice]

I'm here. If you'd like to talk.
