[#16] Exhausted

[handsforhealing]

[ immediately after getting back, Winry ran around town a bit just to assure herself that it was all there and back sure people were okay. Though it didn't take long for her exhaustion to catch up with her, and inspire her to go home and finish up with the phone. Besides, she was sure they'd be out checking up on people too. ]

Hey, Envy! Call me when you get time, got it?! Don't make me come check on you myself!
Ling, you too! I'll bake you something if I have to! And um... Ran Fan! Are you doing okay?!
And Miss Olivier, Miss Riza, Keiichi, Zidane, Everyone! Please call as soon as you can too, okay?! I need to know that you're all right!

And Ed, you better not even think about picking up the phone! Go to Al's right now, you got it?! I can wait!

If anyone needs anything, please let me know!

[[ A~nd then she promptly flops over on the couch. The phone is still off the hook and she has it held near her ear, ready to talk when she hears a voice she recognizes. Though all of that Soviet insanity took its toll, and she's slowly drifting in and out of sleep as a result, her occasion sob just barely audible.

If you do contact her, you might want to speak loudly so that she'll wake up. Or just come over and force her to pay attention. ]]

[Ling's doing better than Al, but he's certainly not in good shape mentally at the moment. He can manage to sound hopeful, though!]

Bake something, you say?

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Y..yeah! Bake anything you want... You must be hungry, huh?

[onyourtab.livejournal.com]

[She might notice now that he doesn't sound quite as energetic as he normally does.]

Ha ha, yes! I don't know how long it's been since I last ate...

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

... Great then. I'll come to your place, okay? Can you wait a few minutes?

[onyourtab.livejournal.com]

Yep! I'll be here.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Great!

Hey! Sorry for the wait.

[onyourtab.livejournal.com]

[He got himself down to the kitchen JUST FOR THIS.]

No trouble at all! I'm sure it will be worth it.

[...Yeah, his heart just isn't as into the flattery as usual...]

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Sorry, it's not much. I just made them, but they should be a bit cooled down by now... Dig in, okay?

[onyourtab.livejournal.com]

Sounds great!

[And dig in he does. Apparently nothing changes his eating habits.]

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

It's a new recipe with a bit less sugar. So it shouldn't keep you from resting later... You need anything to drink? I can get something.

[onyourtab.livejournal.com]

They're still great! Oh, something to drink might be nice, yes.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Right~ Glasses, glasses... ah, here they are. So, how's your Mayfield family? Any new additions lately?

[onyourtab.livejournal.com]

A new "sister" came here a few weeks ago. Nothing else has changed.


[Since his new not!Mom came the next day, lol.]

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

That's great. I'll have to meet her sometime. Have you got her name yet?

[onyourtab.livejournal.com]

It's Ryuunosuke, I believe.

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, don't worry, Winry. I'm fine. [He's trying to sound cheerful as possible and it would work if it weren't for the fact that his voice sounds dead tired.

He hears something that sounds like a sob] Huh? Hey, Winry...are you all right?

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Ah...

Good, I'm glad to hear you're okay... Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired.

[kunaitotheface.livejournal.com]

I am alive.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear... How're you holding up?

[kunaitotheface.livejournal.com]

... [Just. Repeats what she just said, only with a bit more weariness.] I am alive.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Mm... right...

Hey, I was thinking I might make Lin something for supper. Would you want to help?

[kunaitotheface.livejournal.com]

... Yes. He would like that.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Great! Then why don't you come on over sometime? We can make him something warm for supper.

[kunaitotheface.livejournal.com]

Very well.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Just give me a warning before you come over! I'll try to have ingredients set out and ready!

[braided_icarus]

[And yes, he does hear the others are back and hightails it to Al's, not even bothering to respond but after visiting Al, he manages to leave a message of sorts.]

He's back.....Finally....he has to come right, eventually...

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Ed...

Hold on. Whose house are you at?

[braided_icarus]

Mine. Down Beaver Street, just got back from seeing Al at his. I figured I should stay home the night and head over in the morning with some spare clothes for a couple days then to see how he's managing.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Right...

Did Al seem... any better when you visited?

[braided_icarus]

Not yet.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

I see...

Anyways, I'm coming over to visit you. Don't move a muscle!

[covets-humanity.livejournal.com]

For the love of--what do you WANT, woman?!

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

I'm just checking if you're okay! Geez, could you be any ruder? I was worried, you idiot!

[thenorthernwall]

I'm fine, Miss Rockbell.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Great. I'm glad to hear it.

[thenorthernwall]

You're fine as well, I take it?

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired. It's Ling and Al that I'm worried about.

[thenorthernwall]

Alphonse will be fine. What happened to Ling?

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

He just seems a bit down... but I guess we all are.

Well, I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Let me know if you need anything.

[thenorthernwall]

I'm relatively unaffected, but I will let you know. i have a good dozen more people to check up on.
