[Now that he's gotten over his own embarrassment somewhat-]

...So that's what an experiment is like, huh.

[Okay, maybe not entirely over it. That was beyond humiliating and he doesn't even want to acknowledge it anymore. Ugh.]Whatever, forget it. I have a question for the people who've lived here longer than me. What kind of escape attempts have

action; wow self learn to read

[truthget]

[...Wow, subtle. Edward props his head up against his automail hand, munching away at a sandwich with the other. He watches as Hiccup wanders past his table, giving him juuuust long enough to think he's home free, and then-]

Hey.

action; spoilers: HE CAN.

[truthget]

[Suddenly very interested in you, Hiccup. In an amused sort of way.]

Just fine. I haven't seen you since that experiment.

[When you were announcing your lovey-dovey nature to everyone who passed by. In a ridiculous hat.]

[truthget]

[Don't do that, man, you'll hurt your neck.]

Yeah, what about it?

[You know, compared to Hiccup, his own altered state of mine suddenly doesn't look so bad.]

[truthget]

It's fine. It was a strange week for everyone. [And he's perfectly fine with ignoring the topic, so-] What're you reading?

[truthget]

[Oh yeah, yeah, he can totally tell. Very engaging.]

[He and Al sort of got into alchemy like that. The books were just there, so they read them. Simple as that.]

[truthget]

Murder mysteries? [He can only guess, with a title like that. Kind of morbid there, buddy.] Why're you reading something like that?

action;

[truthget]

[Not lame, just a little close to home.]

I've never read one, so I guess I could say the same.

[He sees enough murder happening right in front of him, so he doesn't really need to read it in books. ...Not... that that's the sort of thing you bring up in casual conversation.]
