a Barry is a useful thing to have

Barry, what about this one? [holds up new shroud thing unsure really how he can see at all. Alchemy is weird.] I think green is a good colour for you.

Just remember. No chopping.

*stops and stares at the two of them*

...what the hell are you doing, Barry...?

[choppitychop]

....helping.

[steelsoul_al]

With what? Don't tell me you're a clothes dummy now...

[choppitychop]

No. She wanted me to give her a hand, mostly with carrying.

[steelsoul_al]

...dating a girl instead of cutting her up? That's a switch for you.

[choppitychop]

I'm not dating her -

[choppitychop]

Anyway, she's so strong, and amazing...~

[steelsoul_al]

*trying not to snicker* Sounds like a date to me.

[choppitychop]

Well it's not.

[buxsome_blonde]

[was paying no attention to their conversation] What's not what?

[buxsome_blonde]

... You know Barry?

[steelsoul_al]

You could say we're old acquaintances. We met outside of Lab 5, and we had a knife fight not too long ago here.

[buxsome_blonde]

[looks over at Barry] He does seem fond of his cleaver doesn't he?

... What's Lab 5?

[steelsoul_al]

That's a bit of an understatement.

Lab 5 is exactly what it sounds like. The fifth laboratory run by the Amestris military.

[buxsome_blonde]

[has no idea what that means but assumes it's for some sort of military testing]

Oh. I see.

[holds up two green shrouds in different shades, one in either hand]

Which do you think would look better on him?

[steelsoul_al]

*snickers* Are you sure you shouldn't pick red, to hide the blood stains...?
