Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā come to think of it, where was Al? his Al, Alphonse? not confined to a hospital bed, that much was as granted as it was painful to be aware ofā¦ a body heavy, cold, unfeeling && unable to be physically harmed anymore, imposed by Edward himself on his little brother. perhaps with the colonel, updating him on the situation? perhaps on the phone with Winry, already dropping hints that there might be need for an unplanned trip to Central soon? either way, Ed was burning with curiosity to know of his reaction to this Alfonsā¦ it would be, pretty much, like himself coming across someone who looked like him, but who had every limb made of flesh && bone. how could any of this be?
ā when we met whereā¦?Ā ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā what truly had him furrowing his brows, however, was precisely this: one, how come they had ever met before and, two, what in the heck was Munich? and yetā¦ how come Alfons knew of a suit of armor, if theyād never crossed paths? Ed opted for not interrupting, thus, and followed attentively as the other explained his side of the story by means of words && sketches ā good thing Alfons was way more talented at it, for, had the roles been reversed and he must do it himself, with his left hand, it was a fact theyād look more like doodles of a child than anything else.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā regardless, nice drawings did not make the circumstances any less mysterious, if not downright INSANEā¦ however, before initiating that torrent of questions he had coming, Ed couldnāt help but smile softly at the mention of alchemy presented as though a miracle from the high heavens. too bad his right arm was still refusing to cooperateā¦ but it could be arranged. shifting to kneel on the floor, not without A WINCE at the pain on his side, he made the left palm move && clap against the broken right one, before pressing it then to one of the tiles and produce, out of it, a small statue shaped like Alfons.
Ā Ā Ā He watched intently as Ed moved to the floor and struggled to clap his hands together; the other one did the SAME THING when he told some of his stories. Nothing would happen, of course, but- This time something did happen! A figure, an effigy of HIMSELF created right before his eyes! The look on Alfonsās face was nothing short of dumbfounded, outright astonished. Two words of the same coin, EMPHASIS on just how amazed he was. The magic of alchemy was real and much different that what his world made it out to be.
Ā Ā Ā āĀ HowĀ didĀ youĀ doĀ that?Ā Ā ā
Ā Ā Ā Immediately Alfons was on the floor seated atop his legs with his notebook on his lap. The LIGHTS, the construction of something out of thin air, astounding! Even through all of his surprise, he could feel the trickle of pride in the back of his head and encouragement. But for what? He shouldnāt feel that way towards someone that claimed it was real for years and proved it. Entertainment, awe, and satisfaction were the PRIMARY emotions at work but something else pushed at his thoughts.
Ā Ā Ā āĀ CanĀ IĀ try?Ā Ā ā
Ā Ā Ā Ed had showed him a few circles, told him the basics, it all sounded like hogwash back then. In this world pigs could FLY and what harm could there be in playing pretend? Drawing the first circle that came to mind, vividly as if by muscle memory, he tore the page out. It was simple, one the soul he didnāt know he NOURISHED used to preform his own super powers. Thatās what they were, super powers, fantastical field of science.
Ā Ā Ā Setting the transmutation circle down, he looked at hisĀ ānewā friend and smiled. It couldnāt be that hard right? That ethereal pull sure felt CONFIDENT so he supposed it was worth a shot. The circle denotes the flow... Something about.. Uh...
Ā Ā Ā He claps his hands and presses them down, watching with wide eyes as SPARKS flew yet nothing caught fire. Instead, a rather lopsided cow formed out of the same materials as the floor. It was palm-sized, goofy, and childish. He wasnāt laughing but it sure felt like someone wanted him too.Ā -Ā Ā āĀ Ā What...Ā How?Ā DidĀ IĀ doĀ that?Ā Ā āĀ ( stupid question for the guy that, indeed, did that but give him a break. heās extremely confused. )
