[Later in the afternoon, Don and Robert come strolling up the path towards the hotel. From a distance, and not being an expert either on clothes or on the female body, Don doesn't notice that Winry is wearing nothing but paint. He raises a hand in casual greeting.]

Hey, Winry. Have you been here this whole time?

[Referring of course to their conversation over the journals the other day, though the context may not be obvious to anyone but himself.]

((Four-way thread! Don -> Robert -> Winry -> Haruhi?))

[semper_cogitans]

[Oh, look, people he barely knows, one of which he got upset at him before. Robert instinctively shrinks back a bit against Don, though not as much as he would've previously - social things are getting easier.]

A-Ah... Salutations.

[If he notices the fact Winry's painted on, he gives absolutely no indication of this.]

[crytearsofjoy]

[-Oh god, people. Boys. Let's hope Haruhi's painted on tank top is incredibly believable, and just act cool. It's all about confidence, right?]

Oh Don, and uh Robert. Hey. I've - no, I just got here yesterday.

[godbent]

[Sweet, people. And now if they don't notice that means that she's done her job. In front of Winry a bit she smirks. She probably won't even need to use the mace she has in her purse! Probably. She's only talked briefly with both of these guys]

Yo.

[Sitting on a bench in the plaza (or rather crouched on the back of one), Kurt is just idly watching the two go by. Or rather, he's trying to figure out what Winry's wearing without giving up that he's trying to figure it out. So it's a lot of staring as he starts to suspect she's topless.]

[godbent]

[Go by? Well they're mostly just sort of hanging out near the hotel. She's actually laughing with Winry about something by now. namely, recounting her tale of Shiki and her's passing the Sokka's head stone a while ago]

And she stopped and told me I was right. Stopped to say it and everything!

[If she notices Kurt (protip: she doesn't) it's not obvious]

[crytearsofjoy]

[Winry is all kinds of oblivious too. She's not really on the look out for any hiding voyeurs. Anyway, Winry giggles.]

Well of course! It's not like anyone could deny the resemblance.

(and then I found a thread to stalk)

[onebluebamf]

[He's not exactly hiding anyway. He ends up hopping off the bench to approach them.]

Guten tag, ladies. What's up?

[crytearsofjoy]

[....It's him. Winry recognizes his face right away, and stares back.]

It's you.

[godbent]

Hey, Ayumu.

[breaks_destiny]

[Keiichi is just passing by towards his room in the afternoon when he spots the duo... Honestly he has been kind of avoiding both girls, of course a total avoidance was impossible and not something he wanted, but he had done his best to keep distance. He still wants to, but with Minato having already been cornering him about it... Maybe he shouldn't avoid it this time.

Just a casual and brief talk and let them have their fun, probably they don't want to deal with him during their time together, but he would save face. And thus Keiichi approaches and waves with a smile at the girls.]

Relaxing a bit you two?

[crytearsofjoy]

[Keiichi... Admittedly Winry had been keeping her distance from him as well. She's not really sure how to feel about him in general, but she decides to be polite.]

Yeah, just a bit. We're not going on any of the rides today.

[godbent]

[Haruhi misses all the awkward. Mostly because she braved through it months ago and right now unless something specific comes up she's past it. So it's with a grin she turns for Keiichi]

Yep. We're just hanging out for the most part.

[breaks_destiny]

[It's not surprising,after all it's not as if Keiichi misses Brigade meetings, so it's harder for the members of the brigade to notice the distance.]

I see, I suppose it gets tiring after all.

[And the general mood with the draft and all has dropped a bit.]

How have you been?

[justonename]

[Let's hope that the pain is dry, because there's a kid who's going to glomp Winry upon seeing her.]

Winry-neesan!! Hiii!!!

[crytearsofjoy]

[The paint is definitely dry, and when he throws himself at her she stumbles back a bit.] G-Goku?!

[godbent]

[MACE IS READY. She's actually got it halfway out by the time Winy makes it clear she knows this guy :|a]

[justonename]

[It's sad that being attacked by a mace would be almost familiar to him. Anyway, Goku is busy cuddling and not noticing Haruhi.]

How are you, Winry-neesan? It's been a loooong time since I saw you, I'm sorry, I was busy!
