*The vessel that is Al watches curiously, not showing much emotion when he sees Edward, even at the impossibility of his being able to kill a flower by touch. He doesn't say anything, waiting for Ed to turn around.*

[barrensoul]

*He stands up and turns around to see Alphonse. The look on his face isn't one of surprise. He thinks of it as merely an illusion.*

Must be one of Minos tricks. You can't be real.

[awaitingmyself]

*He doesn't really react at the accusation, though he is as glad as a soulless entity can be to see Edward again. ...but when did he get so tall?*

Who is "Minos"?

[barrensoul]

*He still thinks that it's a trick. Maybe because he didn't return back and report to him about the war? Or maybe because he's supposed to be there right now but instead he's here so he made a version of Al to haunt him.*

He's the one who judges which circle of hell someone goes to..

[corrupted_steel]

Now that's a talent.

[barrensoul]

Oh? Is that so?

*He looks down at his hand that he used to drain the life from the flower with.*

Some may say talent. Others may say it's a burden.

[corrupted_steel]

[smiles wanly]

In my line of duty it'd be a hell of a useful talent. And Pride would like that...

...

I take it that you're not human either.

[barrensoul]

Gate keepers are never human....

*He stands up and looks at him. What a strange creature. In a way he almost looks like himself. He's not surprised by this. He's seen many things, literally going through hell and back has taken most of the shock out of him.*

[sinfulinvidia]

hey you little bas..

*stops instantly when he notices Ed kill the flower*

what the fuck?

[barrensoul]

Hello, Envy. It's been a while.

*He says and stands up then tilts his head to the side.*

[sinfulinvidia]

there's something not right with you....

*glares*

[barrensoul]

You're a smart one.

Why'd you kill the flower?

[barrensoul]

*He turns then looks at Noa and studies her for a moment, reading her soul. He then smiles when he realizes who it is and places his ungloved palm face down on the ground, causing even more life to flow into the grass and plants within the small radius around him. This action causes flowers to sprout and bloom within a matter of seconds. Afterwards he puts the glove back on and smiles softly.*

Better?

[chibinoa]

*Noa giggles, and then takes a moment to stare at the flowers in awe, then at him. Then at the flowers again. Then at him, with wide, sparkling eyes.*

Wooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwww!!!

How'd you do that??!! Not even my Daddy can do that!

*She blinked then, studying him, a quizzical look on her face.*

...Though you look like him.

[barrensoul]

*He looks at her thoughtfully and remembers the Noa from his own time back before everything went wrong. He puts his glove back on and gives a nod. He doesn't want to tell the child how he got the power that he has, because it would probably frighten her, so he thinks about it for a moment.*

Certain people are given certain talents. I'm sure you have a talent as well?

And I look like him because I am him, my sweet, only from a different world.

[alfonsrepeats]

That's certainly different.

[barrensoul]

*He looks at Alfons and smiles then stands up.*

I suppose you could say that.

[alfonsrepeats]

This world is probably the first one to actually surprise me.

The past 56 worlds I've been to...I've been able to openly guess everything that happens. Almost to the point of being called 'creepy' on more than one occasion.

[barrensoul]

There are a few of things that surprise me about this place.

*He gives a nod.*

But after experiencing the nine circles of heaven and hell, not much comes as a surprise anymore.
