special delivery for Leo!

[red_eyed_rick]

[finds himself in Central and can't help to be frightened... he's lost his sunglasses and he doesn't know where his big brother is.]

B-brother?... Where are you?

[ducks into an alley and hides there until he can be reasonably sure that it will be dark enough out for people to mistake his eyes for brown instead of red.]

*quiet--trying to put a name to the face.*

...Rick. Right? From Ishval?

[red_eyed_rick]

Who're- [voice recognition is go.] ... Al?

[shakes head] ... nah, can't be.

[steelsoul_al]

No, you got it right. It's me. *pulls back his hood to show the kid his face* I'm just not a hollow suit of armor anymore.

[red_eyed_rick]

...! [stares in shock at seeing Al in the flesh so to speak]

[un_locket]

*Managed to get away from that creepy armor serial killer freak and ducked into an alley to hide.* This place is full of freaks...

[red_eyed_rick]

... Brother...?

[un_locket]

...Rick?! Is that you? *CUE SAPPY REUNION MUSIC*

[red_eyed_rick]

Wh- Where did you go? You just disappeared for a whole week! And then... I was here... and...

[red_eyed_rick]

'M not lost. I'm... waiting.

[red_eyed_rick]

My brother. [avoids eye contact and tuns face toward wall]

[thinkingsoldier]

Are you lost? Maybe I can help you. *in uniform*

[red_eyed_rick]

...!

[avoids eye contact! AVOIDS! And moves so that he's even more so inside a great big dark shadow]

No! I'm not lost. I'm waiting. For... my brother!

[thinkingsoldier]

Don't be scared. I won't hurt you. Would you like me to wait with you?

[un_locket]

That's fine, I'm right here. You can go now.

[girlalfons]

Are you okay?

[red_eyed_rick]

...! [wonders why the hell everyone is congregating in an alley!]

...M' fine.

[girlalfons]

Okay...S-Sorry.

I didn't mean to bother you.

[red_eyed_rick]

... 'sokay. M' fine though.
