-=Ed's been busy outside. Namely, he's been hauling dried, cut grass and placing it into a bin along with other edibles for one pink cow. It's been a long day, and one can tell he's been working hard with the slight burn on his shoulders and the sweat making his hair cling to his skin.=-

There. I think this is a good start.

-=It keeps his mind off things, this kind of work. After the week long deal of feeling other's emotions, Merlin turning crazy and the loss of some key companions here, it's all Ed could do to keep sane. But he won't let it show on this network.=-

Hey, Mustang? You still running around here somewhere or did you decide to go back and give Father what for?

Which is what you should have said, rather than something vague about the Animus.

[Sigh.]

He doesn't know you. He came into this already afraid, already hurting, knowing that nobody here has any reason to trust him after what he did. He's been here a month, Ed. He's all alone, away from all of his friends, and Rhode's influence took complete advantage of him, and now he's tryng to deal with the consequences.

He was trying to apologize to you.

-=A long, long silence.=-

...

-=Then a huff as he wipes his face=-

He's gotta show a back bone if he's going anywhere near my arm and leg. Haven't seen it yet.

I don't know, Ed. He might cry easily, but it took some courage to come to you. To come to all of us.

You might want to tell him that's what you meant, then.

[Al's not going to. That would be babying Ed.]

...

I'll be back later. Going for a walk.

[Private//Unhackable]

[al_truism]

... okay. I'll be here.

[He couldn't have scolded him THAT hard, right? Nah, he's up to something.]

Good. See you later.
