Winry? I'm going to need you to take a look at my arm. -=He sounds tired. The frantic frustrated screaming all week long has made him hoarse as well.=-
At least, I think it's safe to deal with it now.

I don't know anymore. -=Shrugs, trying to play it down.=- Tried not to think about it much after she was sent home.

Date: 2010-12-03 02:49 am (UTC)She's feeling pretty stupid right now because in a way it explains a lot of things. Why something about Ed's behavior had seemed off. There had been so many clues in this conversation, and now she is recalling something Negi had told her when they once spoke about Ed. "He was happy with you, I know that much." It was something she had meant to ask him about, but instead she starting asking about him and eventually it had been forgotten.
Now here was this pronouncement, something she should have foreseen, something she should have acknowledge so as not to make Ed hurt so much, and she has no idea what to say]
I...you're not pulling my tail, are you? [But she already knew the answer to that]

-=You're doubting him?=-
When the hell have I ever lied to you!? Hidden things for your own good, yes, but why would I joke about something like this?!

Date: 2010-12-03 03:02 am (UTC)Well I'm sorry Ed if I'm feeling overwhelmed. In less than a month I've been transported to a different and ruined world, practically had all my beliefs turned upside down, and then told 'Oh you were here before you've just forgotten'. Everyone keeps shoving this idea of who I was before and who I was friends with and what I did down my throat, and now you're telling me--!
[She shuts her month, trying to calm herself down. She knows she might accidentally say something she doesn't mean--right now this doesn't have much to do with Ed so much as just the idea that she had a boyfriend. An entire life that she can't help but feel other people expect her to pick back up. Winry had tried to be nice despite not believing for a second that she has just 'forgotten' things, she knows that some people are hurting because they believe that is the case.
But no matter what, whoever that Winry was, it wasn't her]
I'm sorry, Ed. [this time she means it] No, I don't think you're joking or anything like that I just. All this is too much to process right now.

Date: 2010-12-03 03:13 am (UTC)Just get my arm working, Winry.
-=And at that, he turned away, not planning to say anything else. As soon as he had a functioning arm, he too could wander on the edge of the Wastes, trying to figure out the best way to co-exist this winter.=-

Date: 2010-12-03 03:18 am (UTC)Fine.
[And with that she sets to work, saying nothing more]
