Ah, thank you... It... It really means a lot to me that you decided to stay, and destroyed that knife. And I would love it if you came down and visited during my lunch break... *is currently hiding his face behind a book, trying to be inconspicuous about it*

[lostforeigner]

::nods:: I want to see you get better, Edward. That knife would not help, and maybe my leaving would not, either. You need all the support I can give. ::walks over and strokes his hair softly:: Alright, I will do that, then. ::bends down and kisses the top of his head::

[ipwnturtles]

I know you do. *tips the book a little farther over his face as he approaches* And I know that you're trying as hard as you can to help me... I'll try even harder to help myself, too...

[lostforeigner]

Okay. ::looks down at him and rubs his back a little:: Are you alright..?

[ipwnturtles]

*pauses, about to make up some excuse, then takes a deep breath* Not really. *lowers the book to reveal his nose bandaged up yet again, and frowns* Gluttony decided to get back at me for what I did to the dipshit.

[lostforeigner]

::sits next to him, eyes wide in concern:: Oh no... You are not hurt anywhere else, though, are you..?

[ipwnturtles]

*shakes his head* Not that I know of...

[lostforeigner]

Good.. ::places an arm around his back:: I did not ask Alphonse about it because I was not exactly in the mood for dealing with him at the time, but... What happened, exactly, between you and him, that caused you to hit him?

[ipwnturtles]

He asked if the people at the university offices were really that stupid to hire me, so I told him to go away. He wouldn't and I walked off instead, but then he tackled me. *shrugs, looking down*

[lostforeigner]

I see. ::sighs and rests his head on top of Ed's, holding him close:: I wish there was an easy way to just keep him away from you. He is not helping at all.

[ipwnturtles]

*leans against him, and nods* He hasn't really bothered me much recently, and it's more his friends that do the damage than him anyway... I wouldn't have attacked him if he had just left me alone, really...

[lostforeigner]

I know. His friends certainly are more dangerous. ::sighs:: I should talk to Gluttony and make sure he does not come after you again.

[ipwnturtles]

But what if he tries to eat you or attack you or something? *looks up at him, worried* Though I don't think talking to him will matter much, anyway; it seemed more like an "eye for an eye" thing...

[lostforeigner]

He generally regards me as a friend, but I will be careful, of course. ::kisses the top of his head:: Well, it would not hurt to at least remind him that it is not okay to harm you.

[ipwnturtles]

Alright. *nods a little, then shudders* At least he didn't send his boyfriend after me or something, though. That would have been worse.

[lostforeigner]

It would have. But I have not seen him for a while, now... I wonder if he wandered off somewhere? ::rubs his side lightly, making sure it's the one that wasn't shot::
