[It seems the bookstore has sprouted a new floor, meaning more room- and probably some upset Ishballans.]

Leo, Rick... can I uh- talk to you? Please?

...what did that guy do?

[bibliospazz]

This is- um- Well it's my fault really- I mentioned that we were cramped and... Well he added another floor for me- Above the attic. [she's really worried as to how he'll react]

[un_locket]

...

...*facepalms, not really knowing what to say.*

[bibliospazz]

I didn't know he could do something like that. I'm really sorry.

Leo? ... A-are you angry at me?

[un_locket]

...I'm not angry at you. It was him, not you.

You know what our religion says about alchemy, right?

[bibliospazz]

No...not really. You've never told me. Ed said you wouldn't like sleeping on a bed made with it though. So I gave you store bought beds.

[un_locket]

He was right about that. It's a taboo. We're not supposed to have anything to do with it.

...which means... I guess if we kept from going up to that attic... it would technically be okay...

[bibliospazz]

[lets out breath of relief & finds herself hugging him without really knowing it]

I was worried you'd leave... Rick said you two wouldn't stay.

[there's a small hitch to her voice. She hasn't had a family in a very long time, and would have been devastated if her adoptive brothers decided to leave]

[un_locket]

*H-hugs baaack*

I told him that, but... I wouldn't want to leave. We don't really have anywhere else to go, either. Especially with...

[bibliospazz]

I don't think there's any reason for you to go in the attic anyway... so it'll be okay.

[un_locket]

*Ends the hug, yay*

Yeah. So just as long as he keeps from doing that any more...

[bibliospazz]

[nods and smiles at Leo] I'll tell him.

[un_locket]

Thanks.

...And I don't really want to tell you what to do, but... that guy's bad news.

[bibliospazz]

But you haven't even met him yet, Leo. Just because one Russel was a jerk doesn't mean they all are.

[un_locket]

All the duplicates I meet seem to be pretty much the same as each other. Their personalities, anyway.

[bibliospazz]

Oh... [looks at him maybe a little pleadingly]

Leo, I promised I'd try to get to know him better. So, if you could just meet him and then give me your opinion...?
