When he finally came home, alchemy-less but with two real arms and one very human brother, Ed threw himself into learning how to do things ‘the hard way’ - which was to say, how most people did them, with their own hands and no help from circles and chalk. Winry was almost bewildered by his sudden enthusiasm for - well - almost anything, from baking to weeding to chopping wood. But Ed had always been one to plunge into something whole-heartedly, and his inability to perform alchemy hadn’t changed that.
Still, she thought, sighing slightly to herself as she wrapped a bandage around yet another one of Ed’s bruised and swollen fingers, maybe he should learn that eagerness alone did not a carpenter make.
Or at least to look when he slung hammers around.
