Inside the building, the air was still and pleasantly warm. Melting snow wrapped Faye’s hair into thin locks, and she brushed the flakes from the shoulders of her jacket before the coat could become soggy too. The inn was quaint, rustic by her standards. The look of it seemed to lend even more warmth to the space. There was no person behind the ( Read more... )

"Is...she all right?" K tried to look over his shoulder, but couldn't see the stranger. If she hadn't come when she had, they probably would have been dead. Her powers were amazing ( Read more... )

Beforehand, he knew that Ed was young, and so a part of K's brain still considered the Alchemist a child, though he held a lot of respect for the things he had heard and seen. But when he looked into Ed's eyes now, he saw differently. No, Ed was not a child, even if he was young. He had been forced to grow up too fast. It was something that he ( Read more... )

Ed didn't bother to listen to Claudia's protests and questions as he dragged her out of the cafe. K was hurt, they had to find him ( Read more... )

Watching Zell walk away, even if he turned back, made him feel as if a riven had opened up between him and everything he knew now.

K took a moment to look around when he, Claudia and Ed left the cafe. It seemed it was always dark here. No wonder some people seemed to lose their hope in such a gloomy place. He seemed to recall reading once that people needed light, and that often people living in areas where it lacked sunlight would sometimes become depressed. It was probably ( Read more... )

K leaned back, then stretched, popping his back. Something certainly didn't feel right at the moment, but that might have been because of all that had happend in the last few hours.
