♨ 1 Apple Pie + Two Apples and Cinnamon - Action ♨

[crytearsofjoy]

[Backdated to about four in the afternoon, a girl is returned from her kidnapping. She is returned during the heavy snow, and on the rim of the fountain. As she begins to realize she's back her balance wavers, and she falls backward.]

A-AH! [After a short descent into the fountain she breaks through the layer of ice and into the frigid water.

[Alexei was heading for the smithy when he heard someone yell and the sound of splashing. Was someone seriously taking a swim in this frigid weather? Wait--that person is trying to get out of the fountain.

....

Well, now that he saw that, he suppose he could hold going to smithy to help her.

He rushes over and grabs Winry by the arms and starts pulling her out.]

[automale]

[After a nice bit of effort from the two Winry is able to get out. However it's from the frying pan into the fire. As soon as the blonde is out of the fountain her (newly male) body collapses into the snow. She holds herself and shakes.]

C-cold. It's cold!

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

You should have been more careful then. [He kneels down, carefully pulling Winry's body up into a sitting position]

Can you move at all? I'll help get you inside.

[Action]

[automale]

[She hisses a bit of that, but she knows if she doesn't get warm and dry fast she'll get hypothermia.] A-A little bit. C-c-c-c-can you help me up?

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

Of course.

[He holds onto one of his arms, another around his waist and helps him back on his feet. If he needed support, Alexei was there for it...although if it turns out he can't really move, he'll carry Winry then]

[Action]

[automale]

[With that kind of help she can definitely walk. Her legs may shake, and her skin may sting with cold, but she can do it.]

Th-thank you. There's a f-f-fire in the smithy. It's - it's not far.

[Action]

[fallenambitions]

[He nods and helps move her towards the smithy. Well this can be either a convenience or a nuisance to him. Hopefully Winry won't ask questions while he's looking for his sword.

They'll reach the entrance to smithy shortly as they head inside]

[automale]

[The temperature inside the smithy (as long as someone has the forge going) should be far better than outside. The two are bathed in warmth as they enter, and soon after Winry will be walking without the stranger's help. Standing by the couch, she'll immediately start to undress. But once her shirt is off she's frozen by shock.]

[fallenambitions]

[Once he was able to manage on his own, Alexei decided to keep an eye out for his False Dein Nomos. Only when he stopped hearing sounds from Winry did he stop looking and said something to him.]

Everything all right?

[automale]

I'm... I'm a boy. [These eyes, Alexei, are eyes wide with horror.]

[fallenambitions]

[And if his face wasn't covered by a mask, there would be a confused look on his face. He does tilt his head to one side though]

Yes, you are. And?

[automale]

Well I'm not supposed to be! This is wrong! [This is going to be about as high pitched and frantic a boy can get. She's distressed, okay?]

[fallenambitions]

...........

[And he's as calm as ever. More or less intrigued by this]

Is this the Malnosso's doing? An experiment?

[automale]

I... well I just got back from a kidnapping... [More or less yes. This calms her down. A little.]

[fallenambitions]

I see. [Kidnapped and then returned with side effects, hm]

These experiments don't have permanent effects do they?

[automale]

No, not in my experience. [Winry makes her way to the back end of the shop. Her work clothes should be there, and dry.]
