Seven Exchanges

::Al was asleep on the couch. Unaware to him, it was his birthday today. He was now eleven years old. However, he was exhausted after reading through the pile of books next to him. Hopefully, someone would wake him up and greet him joyously.::

[ walks up to you, curious about why a boy is sleeping on the couch. Kanon notices the pile of books and picks one up to look at it, but accidentally knocks over the stack in the process ]

Aah! Oh no...

[gentle_alchemy]

::Opens his eyes, rubbing them a bit:: Huh?

[firinmahtasers]

I'm so sorry! I just was curious, so I picked up a book, and...

S-sorry...

[gentle_alchemy]

::Gets up, picking up some of the books:: That's okay.

I needed to wake up anyway.

[firinmahtasers]

Are you sure? I mean, you looked so relaxed...

[gentle_alchemy]

Yeah.

::Smiles:: I'm Alphonse Elric. I think I've seen you somewhere before...

[firinmahtasers]

Elric...?

Oh! You must be related to Edward! You must have seen me at his birthday party, I was singing!

[gentle_alchemy]

Right! I remember now!

You have a pretty voice!

[firinmahtasers]

You think so? Really!?

I'm glad!

[gentle_alchemy]

::Nods::

My brother had fun at the party, I can tell. Thanks for helping out.

[firinmahtasers]

Oh, no, don't thank me! I just did what I love to do, and I'm glad that so many people were able to hear my music.

It sure was a lively party, though.

[gentle_alchemy]

Yeah, it was...lively. ::Remembers some of the drunken party goers::

[firinmahtasers]

Eheh...

So... why do you have so many books? I would never be able to read this much...

[gentle_alchemy]

I'm doing research on something alchemy related.

[firinmahtasers]

Al... chemy...?

Isn't that where people turn lead into gold?

[gentle_alchemy]

Well, you could do that in theory, but it's a taboo.
