Thunk ... thunk ... thunk ...
Whoa-oh-oh, Envy knows those footsteps!
Doesn’t take long for the homunculus to spot the towering set of armor. The younger Elric had that bane against him - loud, clunky, and sticks out like a sore thumb. Perfect for someone like Envy to pick out in a crowd and change course instinctively. A chance like this wasn’t going to be passed up for anything this world had to offer.
Envy makes a hole as they fast-walk down the sidewalk, pushing oblivious people aside as they follow the altruistic hunk of metal. Something sinister grows in Envy’s eyes, which crinkle at the edges due to a larger, worse-off grin splitting their face. Poor, meek, yet stubborn Alphonse. Right at their fingertips. No pipsqueak in sight.
As soon as Alphonse rounds a corner toward a less densely populated part of the Sector, Envy leaps. Quite literally, in fact, they make a large, arching jump through the air and land square on one of Al’s shoulders. Immediately, they squat, perched like a bird, graceful and all malice.
Swiping a hand down, Envy slaps their palm atop that steel helmet.
“Hey, little Elric! Fancy seeing you here, hm?”
