*if you're looking, you'll see one of the newer arrivals investigating the cleared terrain, poking around, and perhaps looking for an empty apartment--or alternately, one that will adopt him*

Apartment Q, I believe it was.

A benefactor, or an unwitting victim?

[thankyouverymooch]

A benefactor! He offered himself to get one for me!

[nometal_alchemist]

Oh? Are you planning to repay his kindness later?

[thankyouverymooch]

Let's not talk about small details like those...!

Apartment aside, how are you doing? Settled in yet?

[nometal_alchemist]

There's still a fair amount to get a handle on, but I think I'll be all right. What about you? You've got about a day on me, you must be settled by now.

[thankyouverymooch]

Adapting to new places isn't hard for me. I need to learn more about Nature here, but that's about it.

[nometal_alchemist]

It seems like there's a lot to learn about it. I've barely learned anything so far, myself.

[thankyouverymooch]

We'll probably have enough time to learn.

[nometal_alchemist]

It certainly seems that way, doesn't it?

[thankyouverymooch]

Well we are supposed to rebuild a civilization or something like that.

[nometal_alchemist]

Ah, is that what they want with us here?

[thankyouverymooch]

That's what I gathered.

[nometal_alchemist]

That could explain why they're bringing so many younger people into this place.

[thankyouverymooch]

Young fresh blood...?

[nometal_alchemist]

Perhaps able to create a new line of people to serve them.

[thankyouverymooch]

Talking about that...

[pointing at Roy]

I just heard you had a boyfriend.

[nometal_alchemist]

Ah, I did, yes. Still do, in a way, I suppose, though he's not here.

[thankyouverymooch]

I have such a hard time picturing you in a relationship as you were back then. I can't even imagine you confessing at all.

[nometal_alchemist]

...If it makes you feel better, he made the first move.

[thankyouverymooch]

[laughing]

That makes more sense.

[nometal_alchemist]

We were both still plenty nervous, at the time. But I couldn't have asked for a better mate.

[thankyouverymooch]

That sounds like quite a story.

[nometal_alchemist]

It wasn't something I ever expected, when I agreed to go to Sabra.

[thankyouverymooch]

Well, what you expected isn't something I can imagine... But I'm glad you found happiness, Edward. You deserve it.

[nometal_alchemist]

Everyone does. I hope it's something you still have a chance to find for yourself.
