[He could handle the jungle. That was fine, he'd done it many times before, sometimes in good times, sometimes in bad. And it did look a bit better than the city
( Read more... )
[Ed survived as a little kid on a jungle-like island. He trained under one of the most terrifying women in his country. He's traveled all over the place and survived somehow, so really the whole jungle thing is nothing new.
The giant should-be-dead beasts, however... That's definitely new.
Clearly he's managing to survive somehow. It took some getting used to the idea of having to kill or at least mortally wound dinosaurs of all things, but one is all, all is one. So when he sees the pterodactyl picking at the screaming hole in a tree, Ed quickly transmutes a spear from a nearby rock and hurls it at one of the beast's wings. The hit doesn't kill it, but it's injured enough now that it retreats as it starts going down.
That accomplished, Ed lets out a breath and turns his attention to the screaming hole.]

...ze dinosaur flew me up here and dropped me. I 'ad to rip my shirt to get away.
[A-and he likes this shirt, and he's not used to a bajillion foot tall trees, and, and...Francis is one of the biggest pansies to ever exist. So yeah.]

[Somewhere in the middle of all that... Ed started kind of wandering around to see if there were any fruit things worth harvesting in the area. So he kind of missed when France dropped the rest of the way. The thud certainly had him turning back around, eyes wide.]
Whoa... You okay?
[He'll even go over to check if he's seriously injured or not. He's pretty sure he should be, but... one never can tell with some people.]
...Well, I guess if one thought that, more of them might get the same idea. You should find someplace decent to hide until all this shit goes back to normal.

Just go ahead and shimmy down, you'll be fine.

He'd be working at that for a while, cursing life and the stupid, stupid city...
It went well until he slipped and fell the last five feet to the ground.]

So how exactly did you end up getting carried into a tree by that thing?
