Let's see...

[sheng_ji]

[sitting off to the side, playing with a stick, drawing what looks to be alchemical circles in the ground.]

....Hn.

[scratches something out and replaces it.]

Maybe ....that? Ugh, I wish I were better at this. [Scratches at his head in frustration.]

[acuteteeths]

...What're you doing?

[sheng_ji]

Oh! Hello, Fletcher.

...

I'm trying to figure this blasted alchemy thing out.

[acuteteeths]

Oh!

*Squats down to look at the circle.*

You... haven't studied it, have you? *He means it in a nice way though!*

[sheng_ji]

....Ah, no. Not a lot anyways. I've seen things done by the Elrics, and Al's taught me a thing or two, but it mostly goes over my head.

[heiderich_al]

Oh... Are you an alchemist, sir? *watches the circles with curiosity*

[sheng_ji]

Hm? Me? Not really, but I'm trying to learn.

[heiderich_al]

Oh.
I am trying to learn too... But I have not tried to activate the circles so far. Have you?

[sheng_ji]

I have once or twice. It hasn't ended very pleasantly thus far.

Back to the drawing board as they say.

[midnightsniper]

Good evening. [She looks a lot better than she did in their first meeting]

[sheng_ji]

Ah!

How are you miss Hawkeye?

[midnightsniper]

Better. Thank you for helping me out that night.

[sheng_ji]

Don't worry about it. Don't hesitate should you need me in the future.

[nex_addo]

[Spots the charred Ling.]

You were doing dangerous alchemy by yourself?

[sheng_ji]

It wasn't supposed to be dangerous! It was an accident.

[nex_addo]

Anything that involves setting yourself on fire counts as dangerous. Are you okay?

[sheng_ji]

Yup! All intact. Just a few burns on the coat. Everything else is healing.
