♨ Nine Apples and Cinnamon - Action ♨

[crytearsofjoy]

[After a few days of shutting herself in her room, and trying to figure out if the Closed Space was all just a dream, Winry can be found not at the smithy --no, she's too afraid to check up on it just yet-- but at the front of house 23. In shorts and and sports bra, (this sans the baseball equipment) she pulls the weeds out of her strawberry garden

[Sokka has been worried, young lady. He's stopped by your house a few times since you were back. Never went and knocked though. He's happy just to see you out again. Of course, when he comes up to talk to her, his feet end up sinking into wet muddy grass caused by the hose, soaking his sandals and feet completely.]

What the...?

[crytearsofjoy]

[At the sound of his voice Winry picks her head up from weeding.]

Sokka?

[markofthewise]

[Sokka moves out of the mud and stares down at his sandals. Aww man.]

Hey Winry.

[crytearsofjoy]

Hey. [She plunges her hands back into the dirt to weed.]

[Gold was passing by the house on his way to the store, when he spotted her. Normally, he wouldn't pay too much mind to someone outside, doing some gardening, but...

DAT ASS.

Excuse him while he stares a bit, Winry.]

[crytearsofjoy]

[The girl is a bit engrossed, so pardon her while she doesn't notice Gold. She might eventually look up, however the garden has her attention at the moment.]

[mischiefbreeder]

[She looks kinda familiar... This calls for investigation! He walks closer now... Except the ground is really wet and muddy right now, so as he walks through, his sneakers make a loud squish squish sound.]

[crytearsofjoy]

[With that Winry turns to see who is stepping all over her lawn.]

Hello?

[crytearsofjoy]

[Fading out of her concentration on the garden, Tanyuu catches Winry's eye. The blond looks away from her gardening to watch her inspect the hose.]

Hello?

[Usagi was coming over to visit Alphonse, but stops by the garden when she spots Winry.]

Hey there, Winry.

[wings_thatwait]

[The dirt and calloused covered hands freeze when Winry hears Usagi's voice. Not too long ago she was comforting Al because of her death. Winry still wasn't used to this whole coming-back-from-the-dead thing. Slowly she moves her gaze up from the garden to the other blond.]

U-Usagi...

[themoonuplifts]

[Usagi gives the girl a soft smile, and kneels down next to her. She didn't mind getting her sundress a little dirty.]

Need any help? [She would have made a joke about seeing a ghost, but didn't feel it was appropriate.]

[crytearsofjoy]

Sure. I mean... I don't mind, but only if you want to.

[Raph doesn't give a shit about the mud. Even if he did he's got bigger things to worry about. He's been waiting for Winry to finally come out of her hidey-hole.]

Hey.

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy]

[She stops her weeding to respond. Her voice is quiet, and a little distant.]

Hi, Raph.

[Action]

[meanandgreen]

I, uh, [He rubs the back of his neck nervously.] missed you at the smithy.

[Action]

[wings_thatwait]

...It's still there?
