♨ Twelve Apples and Cinnamon - Action / Written ♨

[crytearsofjoy]

[It's windy today. The day before was overcast. Winry's glad it isn't raining. She heads toward the smithy, but bypasses that to head up toward where the Hanami was. The girl knows the trees are most likely done blooming, but she didn't want to head toward the lake. Once at her final destination she'll observe the trees a bit before writing in her

[Sokka's answer won't come until much later, until the day's fighting is over. He answers with voice, because writing is a bit awkward at the moment. Also, there's no portrait, just the ceiling. The distinctive sound of water being pumped can be heard in the background.]

Hey Winry! It hasn't been too bad for Team A. We've been running into some heavy resistance here and there, but nothing we can't handle. It didn't seem like it at first, but our group actually makes a pretty good team.

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy]

[...Huh. Weird. Winry will just keep it to voice if that's the way he wants it.]

I'm glad you're okay, but who else is in Team A?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Oh, well there's my sister and Toph. Donatello and Raphael... [That should explain a lot right there.] Brook, Usopp and Chopper from the Straw Hats. Then there's San and Erza too.

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy]

[A lot of people she knows. And they're doing well?]

That's great, Sokka.

Oh, have you tried requesting anything?

[meanandgreen]

[He knows their last conversation didn't go so well but...]

Doin' fine.

[crytearsofjoy]

Mm, I hear you're working with Sokka.

[meanandgreen]

Yeah. It's been workin' out pretty good.

[crytearsofjoy]

So no one's been seriously hurt, I guess. I'm glad you're okay.

[Voice/Filter]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Hm]

Yeah, I'm game.

[Voice/Filter]

[crytearsofjoy]

Meet me at- [crap, she forgot everything back at the house]

Meet me at my house in about an hour?

[Voice/Filter]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...Well that sound suspicious. And weird. But he blinks once or twice and then nods]

Right, I can do that.

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy]

[Winry won't say anything else, and in a little under an hour she'll be in the house. Preparing.]

[Like the others, Raine's response won't come until after the fighting is over for the day. There might be a slight hint of tiredness in her voice.]

Hello, Winry. I hope you weren't waiting too long.

I have no problem with arranging some lessons with you - and yes, I do know standard medical techniques as well - though they'll have to wait until I return, at least. Have you been in contact with the healing spirit at all?

[Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy]

No, I expected to have to wait.

[-Oh. She didn't realize Raine had been drafted too.] I understand. And no, I haven't tried contacting any of the spirits. In fact I had never actually intended to.

[Filtered]

[wise_maiden]

I see... if you don't have any other form of healing ability, contacting that particular spirit should be your first step, though it may take some time. From there it's a matter of maintaining contact and learning what you can do with the magic itself. But while you're working on that, we should be able to study the non-magical techniques just fine.

[Filtered]

[crytearsofjoy]

I'll try to get in touch with that one, then. Is there... any certain way to go about doing it?

I know some basics and first aid from reading my parent's medical texts, but I'm not a trained doctor. Thank you for agreeing to train me, Miss Raine.

[And who should be there but the being who created those trees in the first place? It may be windy and overcast, but it's still summer, and thus it's still hot. Ammy, with her thick coat, is plopped right under the shade of her largest tree and panting even while she's dozing. The breeze is nice, but man, she can't wait for the weather to cool down.]

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy]

[Is that... a dog? Winry's unsure, and approach's cautiously. She hadn't seen many domestic animals in Luceti. Even the strays that wandered about were few and far between. As Winry gets closer she decides that this particular canine isn't a dog. It's too big. A wolf, maybe? Amaterasu did almost look like a Mini-Moro.

Winry stops, allowing a few feet between them just in case Ammy isn't friendly. To get her attention, Winry whistles.]

[Action]

[divinepooch]

[Ammy realized that someone was there far before the whistle - you people have loud feet, you know? But she humored the situation and continued to lie there. Not only that, but it's too hot to do anything else.

But at the whistle... Okay, Ammy lifts her head up and- hellooooo, cute lady! Her tail wags! But just barely. Too hot to do it more.]

[Action]

[crytearsofjoy]

[She smiles at the tail waggling, and move in closer - perhaps at arms length. The blond sits on her knees, and reaches out to pet Ammy's forehead. What a thick coat! The canine hadn't shed in favor of a summer one?]
