[ Winry made the mistake of watching the report all the way through, and was quick to claim the bathroom to get sick in.  She doesn't handle gore very well. At least, not disturbing images like what she just saw on TV. Her first reaction after getting better is to try calling her 'home' and check on her 'dad', but she stops that effort halfway. Resulting in her just mumbling over the phone, unaware of the fact people can hear her. ]

I... can't...I... I need to calm down. I can't freak out... I have to be strong. I can't be a burden anymore...

b-but... That was... disgusting.. terrible... so many people... even little kids... and in their own homes... Even if they might be "drones" or whatever, those poor people....

Something like that just can't happen here... It can't... I have to toughen up. I can't let that happen here. I don't want to just be "protected" anymore...

I... I'm in...


D-don't worry about it, Ed... I-I'm just overreacting...

No, you're not. Anyone would be...at seeing that. Now where are you? Or do I have to look around the house? Even if we are staying with Al at his place, it's not that different from my own, Winry. Just tell me.

... By the living room... Ed, I...

Right. I'll be there soon. Nothing to apologize for, idiot. Just wait.

[And he makes his way from Al's room to the living room to find her, giving a small sigh as he walks over beside her.]

... This wasn't what I wanted...

[Sits next to her, a small sigh as he runs his hand through his hair.] Nobody wanted things to turn out like this. But this is exactly why I wanted you and Al with me, so I can keep an eye on the both of you.

That's not it..! I don't want you to need to do that anymore... I don't want to just be someone you two have to look after like this...

Winry, it's okay. You're not a fighter. You're pretty mean with that wrench, but...[Takes her hands in his.] your hands weren't meant for killing, remember? They're for healing. And I intent to protect that, no matter what. No matter what it takes. I'm not allowing this place to get to us so bad we resort to having you in the line of fire.

E-ed... I don't want those terrible things to come here! I don't want Al and you to end up like those people. I don't want to just watch people getting hurt anymore...!

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2010-01-26 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, Winry. I don't want that to happen here either, but I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to keep you and Al safe. Nina too. [Uncertain, wrapping his arms around her in comfort.]

[identity profile] wontjustwait.livejournal.com 2010-01-26 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to help... Ed... Take care of yourself too, all right?

[personal profile] braided_icarus 2010-01-26 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I will. You and Al too. [Relieved she's not crying so much now. Always so uncertain with the tears.]
