Edward came into her classroom, rather subdued and with both hands on his bag strap. The automail was back and working fine it seemed and he shuffled in uncertain and nervous about this meeting. It wasn't something he wanted to do. He was far more guarded then their last meeting and there was nothing but turmoil in his eyes. He felt like he was swaying back and forth between strong emotions, confusion colouring his perception of just what was going on and everything he'd pushed down was on the surface once more.

He set his bag down on a desk and faced Rangiku, keeping his arms crossed a bit, a feint of attitude and a way to keep his wand close, simply out of irrational fear. Rationally he understood. Irrationally he did not. "Professor." Edward said softly. "You wanted to see me."

"I'm glad you made it," the Charms professor greeted Ed, his arrival snapping her out of the trance. "How are you feeling?" She stood, taking a couple of steps towards him and smiling kindly. Really it seemed like a stupid question, but it had to be asked. He looked a wreck, anyone could see that, but Rangiku needed to know what words he'd give her.

She leaned against her desk, hands loosely clasped at her lap.

"I'm alright. Really. I overreacted." Edward said simply. He wouldn't give her anything it seemed. He shifted his right shoulder a few times, it was twinging a bit from the reconnection that morning, but that would pass. That probably hadn't helped matters too much really. He didn't break his stance and he didn't relax. He'd been thinking about it all day really, he suddenly had been unable to help it, it was like Christmas break all over again.

Rangiku sighed softly. "You didn't overreact," she started, keeping her place against the desk. For she might want to comfort him, and hug him, that might not be the best thing to do right now. The usual steamrolling wasn't the way to go. Maybe it'd be better to just give him a way to relax and see how things went. Getting to explode things might help him relax a little, or at least vent.

"We don't have to talk," Rangiku finally continued, "but I think I still know something that'll help. With you studies," she added, strangely emphasized although really it was completely untrue. "Ready, Ed?"

In retrospect, maybe seeing Mitani hadn't been such a good idea. Al had thought that since the guy was dating Brother and all, that he'd actually CARE about what happened to his boyfriend. Apparently not. The redhead had refused to play any part in helping Ed, and he didn't seem to have any interest in anything that Al or Sakura had to say. This both shocked and angered Al, but he didn't really have time to deal with those feelings now. His brother needed help, and Al was going to do whatever he could for him. Besides, he figured Rangiku probably had her hands full by now.

He knocked on the door to the Charms classroom and opened the door warily. "Hello?" he called. He and Sakura were holding hands loosely as they came in the room. Al spotted the dummy and smiled a little. Clearly Rangiku had listened to him, and that made him feel good. He was glad he was able to help, in a way, before he was able to be there himself.

Sakura followed Al into the room, a step behind him. She wasn't entirely certain of her right to be there, but Al had asked her, and she was hardly going to say no.

Unlike Mitani. Sakura was sort of feeling the urge to hit him.

The way Ed was talking was making Rangiku's heart break a little for him. Eyes grave, she gently took his automail hand. "Ne, Ed..." she breathed. "It's not ugly. It's part of who you are, Ed, and you're not an ugly person. You're Ed. You're a genius Potions master whose swearing could outdo mine any night of the week." She offered him a smile.

Realising the others' entrance, she looked over her shoulder. "Al! Sakura!" Her brow furrowed as she noted Mitani's absence, glancing at Al but not bringing the matter up."I'm glad you made it."

[elricwizard]

That was actually quite the compliment which made Edward blush a little. He jumped a bit at their entrance and his eyes narrowed a little.

He wasn't sure how he felt about his brother hearing any of this considering how he was. "Al, Sakura." He greeted, a little tense, but he wasn't openly hostile to them.
