[Winry sits patiently in the living room waiting for Ed. She sits there in silence, twiddling her thumbs in her lap.]

[Action] truthget June 2 2011, 04:26:20 UTC

[Edward arrives shortly afterwards, bursting into the house in an obvious rush, only halting when he spots her in the living room. He pauses in the doorway, torn between aggression and concern, then heads over to where she's waiting. He's still too restless to sit down, though, so he stands by the couch, fists clenched tightly at his sides.

What does he even say? Everything in his head is an angry rant against this whole idea.]

[Action] crytearsofjoy June 2 2011, 04:39:25 UTC

[Winry looks up at him. She... she'll have to put it on the table. State the obvious and unavoidable.]

I have to go.

[Action] truthget June 2 2011, 04:44:59 UTC

[Edward grimaces, his fists tightening even more- so much that the automail is scraping loudly beneath his glove. He knows that, he's read all about the drafts, and the battles, and that Third Party. He's seen what these people make the residents here go through, even though he has yet to experience it firsthand.

Still... still. Reading and accepting are two very different things.]

...I'm going to fight them.

[Action] crytearsofjoy June 2 2011, 04:49:34 UTC

I'm not going to wait for them to come and take me away.

[Action] truthget June 2 2011, 04:52:40 UTC

But...! [How the hell is he supposed to try to protect her if she's just going to go willingly!?] I can't just sit here while you go off to fight! What do they even expect you to do!?

[Action] crytearsofjoy June 2 2011, 04:57:12 UTC

I don't even know, but... I won't be fighting. I don't know how to. But I will be healing whomever I can find.

[Action] truthget June 2 2011, 05:02:22 UTC

[....

He'd really like to punch something right about now. Preferably that commandant woman. Unfortunately the only thing available is the furniture or Winry, and neither of those are viable options.

...This sucks. To put it lightly. So instead he turns to pacing, his steps heavy, trying, trying to think of a way to deal with this. Maybe if he found a way to get them out of Luceti? But is it even possible to create a circle that would work as a path between Luceti and Amestris in two days? Or he could keep Winry away from wherever she had to go, and fight whatever came to retrieve her...

...what to do, what to do... there's not enough time...!]

[Action] crytearsofjoy June 2 2011, 05:08:45 UTC

[After a few moments of Ed's pacing the girl reaches out to catch his hand. To stop him. There's nothing that can be done. Not with this short notice.]

Ed. [She has to get his attention. She has to let him know - know that she wont just sit around and be a target.]

[Action] truthget June 2 2011, 05:14:46 UTC

[He does pause when she grabs him, but his expression probably makes it obvious that she's got her work cut out for her. He's certainly going to worry his brains out until she's home safe.]

What?

[Action] crytearsofjoy June 2 2011, 05:21:25 UTC

I'll come back. [She stands up now, and holds his hand in both of hers.] I won't ask you not to worry, but I will come back. I can't keep you and Al, or Mr. Hughes, Gracia, and Elicia waiting. After those days are done I will come back straight to here.

["Straight to you."]

[Action] truthget June 2 2011, 05:33:59 UTC

[...It would be a hell of a lot more reassuring if it wasn't so damn... wrong. She's not the one who should be charging off into battle, whether it's to fight or not. That's what he was doing. He was going to fight, to protect everyone, to save the day and then come home - with Al, safe and alive and human again - to eat her apple pie. Because... they had people waiting for them.

Because Winry was always there, waiting for them...

...is this how it always felt for her? If it is, he just feels even worse. It hurts. It hurts to be the one left behind.

His gaze drops, focusing on where their hands are joined. The hands of a human weapon who can't even help, and the hands of a healer who's being sent into a war. it's so pointless.]

Dammit... I hate this...!

[Why does it have to be her?]

[Action] crytearsofjoy June 2 2011, 17:05:03 UTC

[Her grip on his hands tighten, and she struggles not to tremble.] I know, and I'm sorry.

[Action] truthget June 2 2011, 19:52:57 UTC

[It's not often that Edward hugs people; he's always so focused on other things, distracted with his own problems, and never wanting to appear weak and touchy-feely. Only a handful of people can make him focus on the need for physical touch.

Winry is one of them, so when he hears that, he tugs his hands free, lifting one to touch her head and tug her towards him.]

Idiot... you don't have a reason to apologize.

[Action] crytearsofjoy June 2 2011, 20:54:18 UTC

[She pauses for a moment, surprised, before slowly wrapping her arms around him. Winry is scared, very scared, but she doesn't want Ed to be. She'll come back. She has to. She can let her friends - she can't let him - worry about her like this.]

[Action] truthget June 3 2011, 03:55:39 UTC

[He's going to worry anyway- it's not really something either of them can help or prevent. He can hope, and he can even pray, though it's pointless without belief. But he'll mostly worry.

He'll try to reassure her, though, as best as he can. So for the moment he'll just hold her, until she's okay.]
