[Wow there are a lot of new people running around. Some how this feels... wrong and familiar at the same time. Winry's not really sure she wants to get into the large crowd, so she'll watch from the door of the smithy. She's in her normal work outfit, but because of the weather she has it zipped up. If anyone wants to bother her - or come out of the cold because the smithy is generally much warmer than outside - go right ahead.

Auntie Win!

[ a small, bright-eyed child races through the plaza at the sight of blonde hair in the smithy's doorway. ] Auntie Win -- Auntie Win!

[ she comes to a rest just before winry's feet -- hand on her knees. huffing from the effort.

excited. ]

[installing]

[Winry looks at this kid with a confused expression. Despite not recognizing her she crouches down anyway to be eye level.]

Do I know you?

[defiantjoyce]

...Of course you do. [ a beat. her head tilts and she -- very bold, very brash -- reaches out to loop a strand of winry's blonde hair around a small hand. ]

I'm Joyce. You're Auntie Win. 'Lementary, dear Winry.

[installing]

[That seems a familiar- at least the last bit. However she still cannot place this little girls face.]

Maybe you've met some other Winry?

[mycabbages]

[And walking by is a man pushing a cabbage cart. He seems disgruntled. What do?]

[installing]

Are you all right? [And why the cart of cabbages, man?]

[mycabbages]

Gah! [He jumps, instantly covering the cabbages with his body.] Don't come any closer!

[installing]

Why not? [Wow this man is jumpy.]

[cougarmom]

[You know what she'll just sit on that couch. Cross her legs, sit on here... wish she wore something warmer. Jeez]

[installing]

Can I help you with something, miss?

[cougarmom]

Ooooh, maybe? [Tap, tap. She runs a finger through her hair]

[installing]

[There is a lot familiar about this woman, but she can't place why...]

Just tell me if you need anything, okay?

[shadowofpride]

[What about someone inside the smithy? Cause Pride's kinda popped up in there and...just knocked over some weapons on displayed, oops]

[installing]

[That startles Winry a little, and when she turns around- Oh god. Oh no. Him again.]

[shadowofpride]

[As if he knew someone was watching him, he glances casually over his shoulder. A smile.]

Hello, Miss Winry.

[installing]

So you... remember me.

[borks]

[One Swedish Chef bobs merrily into the smithy in search a kitchen. This seems like a good place to check.]

Heellooooooo, bork bork bork!

[installing]

[...What.]

Uh, hello...

[borks]

[There are sharp objects lying nearby--oh, giant knives! For preparing food! He is in the right place after all!

He picks up a katana. Oh, he's never used one of these before. Fascinating.]

Deeeeees er forrrrr de keeeeeeetchen? Whar is deeee oooven?

so I decided this had to happen too

[radioactivebrat]

[A little boy is scampering into the smithy to join her, and she might find him awfully familiar. There's waaay too many new people in the village today, and even the bravest of children might find it daunting.]

CUUUUUTE

[installing]

[That kid looks like- Oh dear, it must be an experiment, he's-]

Ed?

:3 mummyyyyy

[radioactivebrat]

[At her voice, relief instantly floods his expression, and the boy zooms towards her, faceplanting against her knees and hugging her legs.]

Mom, there's people everywhere!

[Yep, totally didn't pay attention to what she said there.]

[zelosando]

[Here's someone who needs a little warming up~ ♥ When he wandered inside, he wasn't really expecting to see a cute girl, but. Bonus. He ain't complaining.]

Buenas tardes, mi amor~ Me encanta una mujer que sabe usar los manos. I love a woman who's good with her hands. [♥]

I love you

[installing]

[...lol wut.]

Excuse me?

/smolder.....en español

[zelosando]

Que grosero he sido! How rude of me! I should introduce myself properly first. [the notion that hardly anyone here knows him is still odd...but strangely liberating too. Yet here he is, perpetuating the same joke that's been running for years.

he reaches for her hand - oh, sorry, interrupting your work?] I am Zelos Antonio Wilder, and I am very pleased to make your acquaintance, miss...?
