special delivery for Leo!

[red_eyed_rick]

[finds himself in Central and can't help to be frightened... he's lost his sunglasses and he doesn't know where his big brother is.]

B-brother?... Where are you?

[ducks into an alley and hides there until he can be reasonably sure that it will be dark enough out for people to mistake his eyes for brown instead of red.]

*quiet--trying to put a name to the face.*

...Rick. Right? From Ishval?

[red_eyed_rick]

Who're- [voice recognition is go.] ... Al?

[shakes head] ... nah, can't be.

[steelsoul_al]

No, you got it right. It's me. *pulls back his hood to show the kid his face* I'm just not a hollow suit of armor anymore.

[red_eyed_rick]

...! [stares in shock at seeing Al in the flesh so to speak]

[steelsoul_al]

...It's okay, Rick. Don't be scared.

*little hint of amusement to his voice* I won't bite you.

[red_eyed_rick]

... y're not a suit of armor anymore... [way to state the obvious Rick.]

... When did that happen?

[steelsoul_al]

About three years ago, in my world. It feels good to have skin again. *lil grin* How have you been doing?

[red_eyed_rick]

M' okay.

... You haven't seen my brother have ya? [emo rick, emo.] ... he's been gone a long time.

[steelsoul_al]

Nope, sorry. I haven't.

I've seen about forty of my own brother, though. Not a single one is from my world...

[red_eyed_rick]

[small depressed voice]

... oh. I see.
