*Edward was sitting on a bench, head tilted back to stare skyward at nothing in particular. If anyone noticed him, they might think he was looking at the stars. He'd left while Roy was still at the inn to 'find a job' hours ago. In truth, Ed preferred not having a job, the inn was free, the food there was free, and it gave him more time to gather

Is talking to yourself very cathartic?

[You have a visitor. Congratulations.]

[faithlesselric]

No, actually it's- *Edward sat up abruptly at the voice, golden eyes narrowing a bit before he sighed the expression on his face determinedly not a scowl*

You're another one.

[not_as_imagined]

Another one?

How very vague....Edward, I assume.

[A discreet fumbling within one pocket of his over-coat finally produces a decorative cigarette case and the appropriate selection within. A flick of fingers and one lucky little number is soon being drawn upon after it's lighting.]

You are aware that purposefully omitting a clear subject in your sentences is bound to cause trouble, hm?

[faithlesselric]

Another... Not the Colonel I know. I didn't omit anything on purpose, bastard, it just.. came out that way.

*Golden eyes were focused entirely on the cigarette in question during this entire conversation, and now that that was clear and over with* You smoke?

[adifferentpride]

You know, some people think talking to yourself is a sign of insanity.

[faithlesselric]

Considering this place is driving me fucking nuts, I'd be inclined to agree.

[adifferentpride]

Sometimes sanity is over rated.

[A slight giggle, ya, this Pride's a girl.]

[faithlesselric]

Sometimes-

Did... You just giggle?

[failed_alchemy]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still trying. I've got a reason to get back home. Knowing the things I do now...I'd be letting down a lot of people if I didn't try changing the way things went.

Don't worry. We'll find a way out.

[faithlesselric]

Way things went?

What happened that has you in such a rush? Not that... you shouldn't be- just that no one else seems to be.

Are they drugging the water or something? the longer we stay here the less anyone cares to get home? I still have a stone to find, damn it.

[failed_alchemy]

It's...someone I got to know, where I'm from. I think something terrible's going to happen to him, and I want to be able to prevent that.

...stone? You're still looking for the philosopher's stone?

[faithlesselric]

....... What makes you think that?

*He sighed at that question, not answering for a moment* Yeah. You're not?
