I've bunkered down the cow as best as I can. None of us should be outside now until the weather breaks. The rope leading to the barn is buried, and if I find any of you being stupid and trying to break your cabin fever, you can expect me to kick your ass once you thaw out.

Hey. Don't go out. The wind out there will suck the body heat right out of you.

... If it helps, I'm usually not consciously in the armor. I only transmute enough to animate it.

[Al hesitates, but can't really find a tactful way of saying it.]

If I'm going to die young, the damage is already done, Brother. ... but I have a stronger soul than you'd think, right? I've worked this backwards and forwards, it's just like transmuting an object, so long as it's my own soul.

I don't know what allows me to do it, but... I have this ability. I want to use it to help people, to protect myself, and to keep everyone safe. ... you've made sacrifices too, Brother... you gave up your arm for me. You put yourself through your automail operations.

You may not complain about it, and others might not notice, but I can see how stiff your back is sometimes. It's in your eyes, in the way you walk. I know you're in pain. Think of all the injuries you've gotten in our journey, trying to get our bodies back to normal. Who knows how many years you've lost, even if you don't count the childhood you gave up. For me.

... I don't want to live some long, peaceful life, being protected and set up on the shelf like some china doll. I've never been like that.

I want to be out there, doing things, using my gifts, and at your side.

... I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out the way it did. I just... it's important.

If you worry, I'll not do it except in emergencies.

Yeah, but I didn't mean to say it the way it came out.

[He knows how much Ed blames himself for this, he's not going to add to the guilt... and he knows he just did.]

I love you, Brother, I don't...

[... but he doesn't know how to say that.]

[... damn it, Ed.]

[Although he wants to give his brother his space, he also won't let that distance stand. He brightens, just a little.]

Where are you now?

From: [personal profile] al_truism
[Al smiles back, warm.] Okay.

[A few minutes later he heads down the stairs, wrapped in a warm sweater, thick socks, and the red scarf Negi gave him, as well as his normal clothes. He sets down the chess set and begins to arrange the pieces silently -- just as they have done many times before.]

Is there any hot water left in the teapot?

[Al just rolls his eyes, there might have been a smile in there. If Ed can make gross jokes like that with him, he must be okay, right?]

Mom'll whack you with her broom if she hears you talking like that.

[At least! Al chuckles.]

I don't know, she has sharp ears, Brother. And selective hearing.

[Al just snickers and reaches out for his mug of tea, curling his fingers around it for warmth, breathing it in before he reaches out to nudge a chess piece into play.]

So... anything new that you're not telling me?

[Idly moves another, nibbling his lower lip in the way that means he's thinking hard -- one of those little quirks from when he was a child. His voice takes on a breezy, innocent quality.]

Well, I haven't seen you and Winry making out in a corner of the library yet.
