[#2] Figuring Things Out

[wontjustwait]

Well, I think it's safe to say I've settled in as much as I can. I haven't met my "father" or "mother" yet, but I'm not having any problems with them and Charlotte's nice, so I don't see any reason to complain. Ed got me a screwdriver so I've been taking things apart. The toasters are really interesting on the inside!

The toaster....? Aw, jeez. Winry, you put it back afterwards, right?

[Filtered]

And yeah, been alright, I guess. Bastard Colonel is here now, apparently. But you're right. We should talk to Al and take you around town again at some point. Been spending way too much time inside lately. Need to go spar later....

Filtered

[wontjustwait]

Of course I did! I needed to make myself some toast.

Geez, Ed, you're so mean to Colonel Mustang. I think he's a perfect gentleman... But yeah, walking around town again would be nice. I'm sure we could all use the exercise anyways.

....Yeah, but Winry, it's the Colonel. You know how I hate being ordered around. And he blackmails me! Like "If you don't let Armstrong go with you to Resembool for auto-mail repairs, I'll tell everyone about that transmutation you boys did and you'll be court martialled."

Though I guess sometimes he isn't too bad...
Wait, perfect gentlemen...? Pfffft. You do know his reputation with women, right?

Mm. I need it. Been inside with school and research a lot lately. And thinking, since Mom had shown up, but I think I'm adjusting to that now...

Well maybe if you weren't so stubborn he wouldn't have the blackmail you into making good choices. Though I guess I can see why traveling with Major Armstrong might be a bit iffy... He's nice, but a bit overbearing...

Well, he's very nice to me! So I don't see anything to complain about.

Maybe we can get together and study for school together too. It'd be a good excuse to see each other, at least. And get your mind off of things...
um... Don't overdo it though, okay?

Filtered

[braided_icarus]

I fail to see how travelling with the Major can be a good choice. Honestly...

Ugh. Whatever. Just don't go letting it get to your head, cause he's like that with every female. I'm serious.

Hm. I guess, you have a point. I mean, it'll be more fun if I studied with someone else too. Al would have a bit of trouble with school, given his armour wouldn't fit with the desks and all.

...Yeah yeah, I know. Al's been on my case too, need to be careful with the new arm, I know. Because it's not like with the automail and I can just get you to fix it, I got that.

Filtered

[wontjustwait]

Well because you were a bit vulnerable at that point, Ed! Geez, what if something had happened and you were all alone with only one arm? If you'd have gone off on your own then maybe I don't worry about you as much as I should!

... Right, that... Though what I meant was... just don't overdo it with the thinking... I hear you can get fevers if you stress yourself out and... I'm just worried. You're useless if you're sick.

Filtered

[braided_icarus]

...Oi! You worry too much already as it is, Winry. I'm fine, so don't go saying you don't worry enough.

A-ah. Right....Yeah. I know. Trust you to know that, with your parents being doctors and all. I'm alright now. Promse. And I am not useless! The Colonel is the useless one! He doesn't have his alchemy back or anything yet since he just arrived.

Filtered

[wontjustwait]

Okay... you'd better be. I won't forgive you if you're lying.

And you're way too hard on him! You didn't have your alchemy when you first arrived either!

Filtered

[braided_icarus]

I'm not lying.

...Yeah, I know I didn't have mine when I first arrived either, but I have it now, so at present he's more useless then me!

Filtered

[wontjustwait]

Geez, you're such a jerk. At least it's not just to me.

But it's good you have your alchemy. You can probably put that to use.

Filtered

[braided_icarus]

I am not a jerk! I can't help if it the Colonel is morally bankrupt and has a God complex!

Uh-huh! I can. I don't want to be too public with it though, just in case. Don't want it taken away again or anything.

Filtered

[wontjustwait]

Way too maturally handle your own faults, Ed. Blaming them on somebody else...

I guess you've got a point. Should be careful and only use them when you have to...
Speaking of times when you should use your alchemy~. I am your best friend, right?

Filtered

[braided_icarus]

Well, it's true! Not everything is my fault Winry!

.....What are you implying? I mean, yeah, you're my best friend, but that tone...what are you planning?

Filtered

[wontjustwait]

You're right, not everything. Most things, though.

Well, you know... I know you won't buy me tools... What about making them?

Filtered

[braided_icarus]

....Winry, I've already told you, I ain't gonna go buying or making you tools when you're just going to throw them at me!
Especially that wrench...

You'll earn them back soon enough!

humph.

No fair. How come you're only a cold hearted jerk to me?
