[So, he's come up with something. And he's on the beach, digging in the sand. The day's kind of cloudy, like a thunderstorm's coming.]

Almost... perfect.

[He brings his hands together, then sets them on the sand. Have a loud booming sound and a flash of blinding light, and Al FLIES back, to land on his back in the sand

[He's staying far away from that, thanks. Automail + electricity = no. But he's watching.]

[bloodseal_soul]

[See, Ed? He told you! Perfectly safe. He rolls over on the sand, out of breath, and waves to let him know he's okay.]

[truthtouched]

[He'll lift his hand and wave back, but goddamn, Al.]

Don't get yourself electrocuted!

[bloodseal_soul]

I-I didn't!

[truthtouched]

But you're going to!

[Overbearing brother is overbearing. But he'll come and help you get that glass out of the ground as long as you don't call down lightning while he's close.]

[bloodseal_soul]

Not unless I mess up.

[But he'll smile and wave him over.]

[truthtouched]

[Let's get up off that rock and brush the sand off.]

Seems like it's a lot more trouble than it should be.

[bloodseal_soul]

Would you rather I get a job?

[truthtouched]

[... no. A sigh.]

... Do you want me to do anything to help?

[bloodseal_soul]

You could help me dig it up.

[truthtouched]

... sure. [And he will, squatting down and digging out that last piece.]

I'm gonna have to find something in the long run, too.

[bloodseal_soul]

I was thinking, maybe we could open a shop together.

[From the way he opens up, he's been thinking on this a while.]

[truthtouched]

... huh.

[He's been fixing things when he can for extra cash, but...]

What kind of shop?

[bloodseal_soul]

A repairs and commissions shop.

[He said that kinda fast.]

[truthtouched]

[Dammit Al, did you know he'd been sneaking out!? There's a moment of 'erk', but slowly, he'll smile.]

... I like that. I do repairs, you do commissions? [Because he knows you won't let him do them, Al. Not with his special brand of decoration.]

[bloodseal_soul]

[Probably.]

That sounds good, actually.
