Could anyone tell me if something is going on with Alphonse?  He's been acting strange lately and I think something is wrong but...he doesn't want to come to me with his problem.  Which I understand...I didn't want to talk to my mother about my problems either at his age...but I'm worried about him.  And he's spending more and more time away from

That...doesn't seem like him at all...

[motherofalchemy]

I know it doesn't...that's why I'm so worried.

[sauceytomato]

Do you have an idea of where he's been lately? With Ed or somewhere else?

[motherofalchemy]

He's been spending a lot of his time at Whipstaff lately, I know that for sure.

I'm not even sure if he's been spending much time with Edward either...

While one could say it is him being a teenager, I don't think that's all there is. Perhaps you could convince one of his friends to talk with Al. Him is a well-liked boy, after all.

[motherofalchemy]

That's a good idea...I think I might do that. Hopefully if Alphonse does not want to talk about whatever is going on with me, he'll be willing to talk to one of his friends.

Thank you.

You be welcome. It's only natural that a mother worries about her children, especially when they choose to keep secrets.

[motherofalchemy]

And it look like Al's been keeping a lot of secrets lately too...

[sigh]

Even if he doesn't want to tell me everything, I just want to be sure he's alright.

[lostwish]

...He's spending time away from home?

[motherofalchemy]

Yes...he's spending most of his time at Whipstaff. I think that's where he is now too.

[lostwish]

...That doesn't sound right.

[motherofalchemy]

I know it doesn't...what's why I'm so worried that something is going on.

I'm sorry, ma'am, he hasn't said anything to me, but he's seemed alright when I've talked to him...

A-are you alright?

[motherofalchemy]

It's alright. There's no need for you to be sorry.

Yes...I'm fine.

[notamageiswear]

...if it's any help, he was fairly happy when we sparred together the other day. He's been happy the last couple of times I've talked to him, actually! Um, but everyone has secrets, so...

Are you...Al's mother?

[motherofalchemy]

Well...that does ease my worries a bit. Hopefully I'm just over reacting about this whole thing.

Yes, I am. My name's Trisha.

[bestworstdad]

Alphonse, huh? Want me to kick his butt?

[motherofalchemy]

Maybe you could try and talk to him before you do that.

[bestworstdad]

I've got a kid of my own. That's how you gotta stuff sense into them!
