He gave a slight chuckle in seeing her gaze go to his leg. He was used to people looking at it. When she started to talk he gave her his full attention, giving a nod to her, glad that he wouldn’t have to worry about having to crawl back to the Nurse. “It’s nice to meet you Hanako. I’m Alphonse Wruble.”
They walked for a bit longer before he opened his mouth again, “Hey Hanako. What year are you?” He was curious, she obviously wasn’t in his year, or he’d have seen her by now.
She walked a pace behind him, off to his side. Nervous hands clasped together in front of her, as if ready to shoot out and snag him should he stumble off his replacement limb. "I-I’m in my third…" She answered his question calmly, though Hanako spoke only enough to answer it, missing the social graces to ask him the same question, or talk about her education so far. Her face was more exhausted than nervous, though, drained from her sickness.
Alphonse gives a nod, steadying himself on the new leg as he looked over to her again then back to the path. "So, do you have any hobbies to keep you busy while you rest up?" He was curious to know, even if it was really just to get some ideas himself since he didn't have much he could do.
