[ It's only slightlyunsettling to wake up with an unfamiliar lady calling you 'dear,' finding a little girl calling him 'daddy' next was the real kicker. As if Ron could ever spawn a child that looked like that. Actually, come to think of it, why was he even at that house and waking up in that bed anyways? Wasn't he last thrown into a dungeon of

[And one of the members of your household, your not!son is rather unamused at said yelling. He'll come storming into the room for the source.]

You don't have to wake up the whole house, you know! Jeez.

....

Take it you're new then? The "father" or whatever?

[lightsguide]

[ And here's a manly scream of surprise before he jumps!spins around to attempt to whip out his wand. Which he doesn't have, so have a pointed finger instead. ...and because it looks silly he'll go put it down now.]

You're another one. Don't you start calling me daddy, too.

[braided_icarus]

[...Raised eyebrow. Well. Being brought here always threw people a loop, so Ed tries to be understanding.]

No. I'm Ed. Edward Elric. I won't call you my "father" but as long as we're stuck living together, might as well at least tolerate and know each other. You been given the basics yet?

[lightsguide]

[ but understanding isn't Ron's strong suit. ]

And why would we be living together? The basics is that I've been kidnapped, right? So obviously, I'm going to get out as soon as I find everyone and my mother.

[braided_icarus]

Hey, don't ask me. Just how this place is. I take it nobody has told you the basics then? In that case.... here. It'll explain the basics for now.

[ Ron is so not the reading type, like what. He'll just latch onto the last line of that letter, okay. ] What's wrong with the milk?

[braided_icarus]

Apparently it might be poisoned, or have razorblades in, or spiders or blood....take your pick.

[lightsguide]

Apparently? No one knows for sure?

Can't people see the last three things if it's in white, liquidy stuff?

[braided_icarus]

I dunno! Not like I was here for it--and if I was I don't remember.

[lightsguide]

You're not even curious? I mean, it's milk.

[braided_icarus]

I don't care! I don't drink that stuff! It's gross! Opaque liquid secreted from a cow!

[lightsguide]

[squints at you]

Aren't you the type of kid that needs a daily intake of that opaque, liquid secreted from a cow?

[braided_icarus]

What did you say?!

[lightsguide]

I said you look like you need your daily intake of milk?

Uh, you look kind of angry. [Ron is so not backing away from the shortie, no]

[braided_icarus]

I hate milk! And don't call me short!

[lightsguide]

Oy, calm down there.

I didn't say short, did I? You're what, thirteen? You're probably even tall for your age. [ and he says this with a smile, because he's being all nice and indulging to a kid. wouldn't 'mione be proud if she saw?]
