handsforhealing | [#2] Figuring Things Out

Well, I think it's safe to say I've settled in as much as I can. I haven't met my "father" or "mother" yet, but I'm not having any problems with them and Charlotte's nice, so I don't see any reason to complain. Ed got me a screwdriver so I've been taking things apart. The toasters are really interesting on the inside!

[ Filtered away from Ed and Al, and Drones ]
But I can't just stand around and wait for Ed and Al to find a way out of here. I know they're trying really hard, and I really want to help them, but I doubt they'd be thrilled to let me get involved. Does anyone know of any way I can help out? I guess my only "talent" is with mechanics, and a bit of medicine... But I want to try! I want to help them!

[ Filtered to Ed and Al ]
How've you both been? Ed, thanks so much for Friday~. It was fun. We should do something like that again sometime. Maybe Al could come too? Even if it's just walking around together...

[ To Elysia and Roy ]
Are you settling in okay? Sorry that I couldn't be much help.

Elysia, do you mind if I come over later? We can play and draw pictures if you want. Has everyone been taking good care of you? Ed's not boring when he comes over, is he?

Yea! I'd like it if you came over. It'd be really fun!~

No, Ed's not borin', he's really nice!

I'm glad to hear you're settling in. And I'm sure there's something you can do to help - especially with medicine, I bet people would prefer to be treated by someone other than the drones.

Okay, I'll be over in a minute!

And good to hear. You're so sweet to put up with him, Elysia.

All right. I'm not an expert, but I can give it a shot if you ever need anything.

Yay! I'll go get my crayons.

I am?

Do you have a job here?

Yes, you are.
I'll grab some paper and crayons too. Be over soon!

No, I don't. I'm hoping to start babysitting a bit, though. I want to be able to buy Mogget some better food, and be able to buy more stuff to keep Elysia happy...

The toaster....? Aw, jeez. Winry, you put it back afterwards, right?

And yeah, been alright, I guess. Bastard Colonel is here now, apparently. But you're right. We should talk to Al and take you around town again at some point. Been spending way too much time inside lately. Need to go spar later....

Good luck.

Of course I did! I needed to make myself some toast.

Geez, Ed, you're so mean to Colonel Mustang. I think he's a perfect gentleman... But yeah, walking around town again would be nice. I'm sure we could all use the exercise anyways.

[Elysia runs over to Winry, a few crayons in her hand, and a grin on her face.]

I got my favorite colors!

Oh, did you now? That's great. Then we can make a lot of pretty pictures with the best colours, right?

I've got some too. Where should we go to draw?

Thank you!

Do you have a job?

I'm a waitress. Not that useful, but it brings a bit of extra money in.

Waitressing, huh? That sounds pretty tough. Good luck to you too, then!

Thanks, Winry! It isn't that tough, really. It's a lot easier to deal with drone customers than some of those back home anyway.

Yea! They'll be the best pictures ever!

Ummm...Lets draw in the kitchen cuz if we get hungry, we can eat!

[With that, Elysia turns and runs towards the kitchen.]

....Yeah, but Winry, it's the Colonel. You know how I hate being ordered around. And he blackmails me! Like "If you don't let Armstrong go with you to Resembool for auto-mail repairs, I'll tell everyone about that transmutation you boys did and you'll be court martialled."

Though I guess sometimes he isn't too bad...
Wait, perfect gentlemen...? Pfffft. You do know his reputation with women, right?

Mm. I need it. Been inside with school and research a lot lately. And thinking, since Mom had shown up, but I think I'm adjusting to that now...

Well maybe if you weren't so stubborn he wouldn't have the blackmail you into making good choices.

Well, he's very nice to me! So I don't see anything to complain about.

Maybe we can get together and study for school together too. ~~It'd be a good excuse to see each other, at least. And get your mind off of things...~~
um... Don't overdo it though, okay?

I guess I can see that. Drones aren't so bad when you look passed their creepiness either...

Okay, sounds perfect.

What sort of things do you want to draw, Elysia? We've got a lot of paper.

Yeah. It's just knowing how to handle them. They're all the same, so once you've figured out one, you've figured out them all.

I fail to see how travelling with the Major can be a good choice. Honestly...

Ugh. Whatever. Just don't go letting it get to your head, cause he's like that with every female. I'm serious.

Hm. I guess, you have a point. I mean, it'll be more fun if I studied with someone else too. Al would have a bit of trouble with school, given his armour wouldn't fit with the desks and all.

...Yeah yeah, I know. Al's been on my case too, need to be careful with the new arm, I know. Because it's not like with the automail and I can just get you to fix it, I got that.

I wanna draw you, and me, and Ed, and Al! Umm...Flowers too!
