I'm not quite as noble-hearted as you are. Aside from Greed, I think they got what was coming for them. It was self-defense, after all.

Maybe they did. But Sabra was a world full of death, and I was so tired of it. So tired of watching people I cared about die, and so tired of dying. I didn't want anyone else to have to go through it, whether they deserved it or not. Without their powers, they couldn't do any more damage anyway.

They became humans in your timeline, so it's a different situation, I guess...

I can't say I like the idea of King Bradley living, but the sentiment behind not wanting to see people you care about die anymore... I understand that.

Ah, I wasn't exactly heartbroken to find out he'd been killed before I took Messenger's deal. That would've made the work of changing things that much more difficult. Felt sorry for his wife, though.

But I couldn't ask to just save a few, and kill others. Humans, homunculi, Amestrians, Ishvalans, Xingese, it didn't matter. I just wanted all the fighting and killing to stop. There'd been too much.

That sounds like a very "you" thing to say.

That cave didn't change me that much.

Honestly, I can't imagine anything changing you— no matter how awful. You are that sort of person, after all.

I think I was a little different when I came out... but I don't think it was as much of a "change" as that everything I went through while there gave me a chance at growth I wouldn't have had otherwise.

Growth and change are different! You're still Edward.

Though it'd be much better if I could get food out of you again.

Ahh, I guess that's true.

You can always stop by the tea house. Of course, you'll have to pay somehow.

Come on now, we're friends! Payment shouldn't come between us.

Ah? So you're saying it won't be a problem, then?

Friendship is truly a noble thing...! To think you would take care of me without expecting anything in return.

Then shouldn't it go both ways? The few of us there can't collect enough food to provide for everyone, but if those who come by bring along some ingredients, it works out well.

I'm not sure I'm quite that generous...

Ah? Not even a little extra meat or fruit from your journeys out into nature?

One of the people I live with eats as much as I do, we don't actually have much extra usually.

Maybe I'll see what I can do in exchange of food— Kakashi's cooking is barely decent.

I suppose you could always do some work for us as an exchange. I'm sure we could find something that'd work out.

Let's taste your food first— Then i'll decide later! How about it?

Ah, looking for free samples, now? Don't you think in fifty years I'd learn to cook a few things at least?

I can't be sure unless I try it.

I do just fine. Someone had to cook in my house, after all. And Sion and Izumi are good, too.

Everyone except us keeps getting the good cooks...

You don't have any?

Only mediocre ones. Even Greed is no good at it...
