Third Shield || ACTION

[deathbyoil]

*Oh, well, looks like he didn't have to wait long for his powers to come back. That feeling deep down inside his core was back. His stone. Philosipher's stone

[Walking along, and notices the all-too-familiar sigh. Since when had Greed gotten here and what did that mean for Ling? What was he doing?]

[deathbyoil]

*Greed delivers another slash to the tree, causing a few leaves to fall down. He smiles and lets his shield disappear from his hands, but alas, his tattoo still wasn't back on the back of his left hand. Eh, no matter! He turns to leave but stops, once he sees Edward*

Eh? Edward? Is that you? *He puts a hand over his brow... emphasizing his 'size'*

[braided_icarus]

Yeah. It's me. Since when did you show up here?

[Unnerved but not all that surprised he seemed to have missed Greed's arrival, what with the chaos of the boxtop event and trying to keep an eye on Alphonse afterward.]

[deathbyoil]

Few days ago? *he rubs the back of his head and shrugs before he walks up to his fence, resting an arm on it as he looks down at Edward*

Talked to your brother on my arrival. I hear he's got his body back.

[braided_icarus]

Right.

.....You leave him the hell alone, Greed. There's no point trying to get anything out of him now he has his body back, and I'm not telling you anything about binding a soul either.

[A warning, standing his ground, just in case Greed had the idea of trying something again. He doesn't want a repeat of when Greed kidnapped his little brother.]

[deathbyoil]

*He rubs at his forehead with his hand and looks up at the sky*

It's a shame really. That armor body was perfect for him.

[braided_icarus]

No. It wasn't. Both of us are glad he's back to normal. It was anything but perfect, and even with that, there was the risk, the chance, the armor would reject his soul anytime. It wasn't immortality, Greed.

[deathbyoil]

Soul rejection? Keh, why didn't you tell me about that before?! That's so cruel. Leading me on like that.

[braided_icarus]

I never led you on. It was all your own idiocy and assumptions that led to you thinking binding a soul to a suit of armor would gain you immortality. I'm just telling you now so you lay off of Al.

[deathbyoil]

Aw, what a wonderful brother you are. Being so protective.

I bet Alphonse gets real sick of it.

[braided_icarus]

It's not like I don't have good reason, with you Homunculi here, as well as all the other creeps, and this town in general. He understands.

[deathbyoil]

Oh c'mon. I'm not all that bad. ...Homunculi? You mean, the others are around here too?

[braided_icarus]

Envy. Pride was here too.

[deathbyoil]

Was? You mean they're not here any more?

[braided_icarus]

Envy is. Pride....I think he's been droned.

[deathbyoil]

Heh, no worries for me then!
