All right, now that that's done...

*heading over the clinic to check up on Al since Lina's getting closer and closer to the end of her pregnancy term. has some pregnancy books and snacks in tow, just in case Al wants them. his mind seems to be wandering a little as he walks*

Though it'd still be kinda nice to get a request in... Damn...

-=He's in the clinic, but he's in the seat, staring out into space, deep in thought.=-

[ambergoldeyes]

*enters after knocking once* Heh, I knew I'd find you in here. Got some more study material for you, if you want it.

You okay?

[thesoulbound]

Hmm? -=it's about 10 seconds before he looks up=-

Oh. Yes, I'm fine. I was just thinking. -=but he still looks distracted.=- Thanks.

[ambergoldeyes]

*puts the books down on the table, then leans against the edge, hands slipping into his pockets while he regards him curiously*

About anything in particular?

[thesoulbound]

I was overlooking these notes I wrote back... before. -=taps a written page with a finger.=-

I don't know, but I have a feeling that Marron and Al here were close.

[ambergoldeyes]

*blinks. eyes widen slightly, eyebrows arching up*

Marron? *glances to the notes, searching it quickly. did he write in there about Marron?! shouldn't stuff like that go somewhere else?!?!* How do you know about Marron?

[thesoulbound]

He came here. -=looks back to the page.=-

He seemed distressed that I was here. -=meaning not the Alphonse he knew=-

[ambergoldeyes]

Oh... So he's back...

*looks off again, frowning a little* Yeah. They were close.

[thesoulbound]

What do you know about him? -=They worked together, so Al should know things, right?=- From what I read here, it was like they were partners in this clinic.

[ambergoldeyes]

... Yeah, they basically ran this place together. Al founded it, and when Marron showed up with his magic wanting to put it to good use, they teamed up. They worked well together.

Aside from that, Marron and I were both pushed into school here and were classmates for a while. He's always been pretty serious and quiet, mostly keeps to himself, takes the clinic and its work very seriously.

[thesoulbound]

-=digests all of this.=-

Okay. So he's always been quiet. -=that explains Marron's behavior with him.=- I thought it was just me.

[ambergoldeyes]

... *nods* Yeah, it's really just- the way he is.

How'd he find out that you're not the same Al?

[thesoulbound]

-=This ... is an obvious question, Ed.=-

My hair's cut? And I'm older? And I told him.

[ambergoldeyes]

*that's not what he meant :|*

*waves a hand* No, I mean- Did he have a strong reaction upon seeing you, haircut and all, or did it seem like he'd figured it out prior to that?

[thesoulbound]

I don't know. I fell asleep down here.

[ambergoldeyes]

You picking up bad habits from me, or what?

*then goes quiet for a moment, thinking* Where is he now? That guy hardly ever goes off on his own.
