[I'm all bruised and scratched, but fortunately not bleeding golden blood to the horror of anyone.]

You would have done the same for me.

[nometal_alchemist]

*well it wouldn't horrify me and I don't know what you and Wander went through yet '-'*

Of course I would have. You've become important to me. You and Wander both.

[madasahero]

[You are very open minded, grandpa '-']

...Wander and I?

[Making sure you don't fall on your face or anything]

[nometal_alchemist]

Mm. Izumi and Al are already part of my family, but the two of you... I've been thinking of you the same way. You've both become important in the time we've all been here together.

[madasahero]

[.///.]

Ah, I've just been around for twenty eight days, Ed. It's not that long.

[nometal_alchemist]

Maybe not, but in places like these, those things can change faster. I hadn't known either Dani or Jace long before I felt like they were part of my family, and the same goes for you and Wander.

[madasahero]

[Aww '-']

...You are probably just glad we are not spiders.

[nometal_alchemist]

...I can't say that I'm not, but I regarded you as family before I was grabbed by them.

[madasahero]

Ahhhh, so fast ~

[I'm opening this door now.]

[nometal_alchemist]

Do you really think so?

*ahh so good to be home*

[madasahero]

[I'm sitting you on the couch and checking if you are wounded, traumatized or anything equally terrible. '-']

Yes, I do. Are you hungry?

[nometal_alchemist]

*I love this couch right now '-' mostly I'm anemic and dehydrated*

A bit. Thirsty and tired, too.

Is it strange for you to be part of a family like this?

[madasahero]

Well, I would not call it "strange". Not exactly.

[Frightening, perhaps dangerous.

Soon Ed has water and food in front of him. Meat pie!]

[nometal_alchemist]

*accept my love dammit. taking the water and drinking*

What would you call it, then?

[madasahero]

[sighs]

Nice?

[I don't deserve it. :(]

[nometal_alchemist]

*yes you do*

Ah. I'm glad.

[madasahero]

[;-;]

Perhaps you would like to rest for a while.

[nometal_alchemist]

After some food and water... how long was I gone?

[madasahero]

Four days.

[Honestly, it feels like much longer.]

[nometal_alchemist]

That long... you must have been worried sick.

[madasahero]

Didn't you feel the passage of time?

[nometal_alchemist]

Not really... it's all sort of a blur.

[madasahero]

I apologize. That is most certainly an unfit subject for this evening.

[Here, have a glass of water :(]

[nometal_alchemist]

It's bound to come up eventually. It's all right.

*taking the water*

[madasahero]

[No, I still feel like I could do more for you. So I will merely sit close in this thankfully spacious sofa.]
