Location: Winry's Clinic (Room 1I of CC)
Rating: G
Time: July 11 Morning
Description: Winry is tired, Ling is beat. The two share some overdue bonding time.
Winry had handled multiple patients before. She's handled plenty of amputees and people on the verge of death. She'd stayed up days in a row to finish automail, but never before had she felt this tired, this drained. She felt it in her very bones, and there seemed to be a heavy weight on her chest. It was to be blamed on her over-using this new ability.
She had had to heal England, Naoto, Kurapika (and within that had been all those tests so that she could help Kuroro figure out his abilities) then Matilda and Ling. Everyone was resting now, and she had plopped herself down a seat next to Ling's bed. She looked down at the Xingese with a mixed expression of worry and anger.
Between all that had been happening, Winry hadn't had as much time to spend with Ling as she would have liked. It was strange, now that she thought about it, how she spent so much time worrying over him and upset that he was so unwilling to trust them when they really hadn't had much even in her time. It was the Elrics he spent so much time with, the Elrics that he worked with all the time.
She sighed and slipped down the chair a little, closing her eyes for a brief moment
