♨ 1 Apple Pie + One Apple and Cinnamon - Action / Voice ♨

[crytearsofjoy]

[Early afternoon on December the eleventh. Winry's second birthday in Luceti. No party though because it was simpler that way. Not many people knew anyway, did they? Eighteen now, Winry. Time flies, doesn't it? And as you grow and change He stays the same. Get up and go to work Winry. No excuses girl. It's not snowing, although there are leftovers

I think so. I'm a lot more mature now, you know?

[crytearsofjoy]

That would be a good thing, right?

[im_the_cute_one]

Of course! And I'm still very cute, you see, so they'd recognize me...just now how I acted. Like if someone swapped brains with me!

[crytearsofjoy]

[Oh, Miu. You're almost as weird as Haruki.] How long have you been here?

[i_speak_softly]

[He's prying only a little, really. And he looks exhausted.]

Are you looking for Raph, Winry?

[crytearsofjoy]

Yes, Don I - Hey! How did you know? [Forgetting for a moment that he's an ace hacker, and also kind of expected him to respect her privacy or something.]

[i_speak_softly]

You haven't learned all my tricks yet. [- is all he'll say about that.] Can I take a message?

[crytearsofjoy]

Uh, it's kind of about how I behaved during the last experiment. I can just... tell him the next time I see him.

[crytearsofjoy]

There has to be some way I can repay you.

[crytearsofjoy]

We can do that. Just tell me when, okay? [She'll work around his schedule 1) because it's paying him back, and 2) because she knows he's been drafted. But she won't bring it up.]

[That question really hits home for Tsubaki because she was only just wondering about it herself. Before she even realizes what she's doing, she answers.]

...

I'd hate for my family to see what's become of me here.

[crytearsofjoy]

Has this place really messed with you that much?

[cry_camellia]

[A sad laugh.]

Maybe some things would have turned out this way even if I hadn't been brought here. But I certainly wouldn't have offered parfait to the enemy in any other circumstances.

[crytearsofjoy]

Parfait to the - because of the experiment?

[causeblocked]

Don't worry about it.

[crytearsofjoy]

You know, you surprised me.

[filtered]

[causeblocked]

Oh? How?

You never really struck me as a help-a-girl-out, but more of a I'll-take-you-up-on-that-offer.
