[#18] Hand for Healing

[handsforhealing]

[ Well, after getting over the initial trauma of losing her hand, Winry's dragged herself out of the self-pity corner. Sure, being one-handed is going to take a bit of getting used to, but she's not one who likes sitting around. ]

That's what I get... At least it looks like it's healing nicely....nngh... [ though, looking at it makes Winry cringe. ]

I'm not much help right now, but if anyone needs any sort of help with their injuries than let me know, okay? I can at least help you change to fresher bandages...

Al, are you okay? Give me a call when you get the chance, I'd like to come visit you. Ling, the same goes for you, okay?

And Ed. We probably need to talk about what to do for your arm, huh? 

I can wait for your calls, so take your time.

[ and after hanging up, she curls up by the phone and sighs. ]  Now I'm even less of a help to them.

Oh, Shorty's girl has made an appearance here, too...

And I told you before, I'm Greed.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Ling, what're you--- oh right. That.

Well then, Greed, let me know if I can drop by to visit sometime, okay?

[onyourtab.livejournal.com]

...Huh? Uhh, sure?

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

You too, Winry?

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I lost my hand... But you know, at my job back home I see people who've missing their arms and legs for years and they're perfectly happy! What sort of message would I be sending my customers if I just gave up over this?

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

Good. I'd hate to see this place bring you down. We'll beat 'em somehow.

You specialise in 'automail', right?

[kimitoaruiteku.livejournal.com]

I'm okay, Winry. I went to visit Ed all on my own! [Trying to be reassuring that he can take care of himself.] How are you...? I heard about your hand...

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Be careful, Al. Next time, we should visit him together, okay?

I'm okay. I still have my other hand, you know. I can learn to use my left just as well as my right.

[kimitoaruiteku.livejournal.com]

I hope you can get it back one day...

[best-papa-evar.livejournal.com]

I'm going to figure out a way to fix this problem if there's no change--stay strong, Winry.

Are you feeling okay?

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm okay. I think the fast healing at Mayfield helped me get over the blood loss, so now it's just... the hand.

[best-papa-evar.livejournal.com]

Is it your dominant hand?

[braided_icarus]

Yeah. Make plans, and once we figure what to do about your hand, you can get started and I can go home from this goddamned hospital already.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

I'll come by for a visit soon, then, to take measurements.

Don't worry, I'll figure something out. Losing a hand isn't going to stop me. Kind of an ironic injury for me though, huh?

[braided_icarus]

Yeah, okay. Probably grown a little since last time anyway.

.....Yeah. [Considering what he had said to her after Scar. That's one of the first things he had thought at finding out her 'price'. And he hates it.]

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

Winry? How are you doing?

Al told me lost your hand.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Since when were Ed and Al such gossips?

Don't worry, I'm okay. I'm getting really good at using my left now.

[the-wee-big-hag.livejournal.com]

It's not all his fault. Witches are nosey. It's their job.

That's good.

It seems a lot of people are missing limbs here now.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Winry...? Are you okay?

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm getting used to it... It could be worse. I could have lost both hands.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[Can you hear it, Winry? This is the sound of Kay wincing over the phone.]

"...What did you get back?"
