[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.

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

Hello, Miss Winry.

[installing]

So you... remember me.

[shadowofpride]

Of course. Your kindness is hard to forget. [Your connection to the fullmetal even more so]

Is there a problem...?

[installing]

No, not at all. Are you all right? [Didn't hurt yourself, did you? But she already knows the answer, homunculus.]

[shadowofpride]

[Pride already knows that and he's certainly not trying to hide behind his childish facade as much as he used to right now.]

I'm fine. Is this the blacksmith I've found myself in?

[installing]

Yes. Don't worry about the weapons. I'll put them all back.

[shadowofpride]

You can stop pretending you know. It's been obvious for a long time that you knew. [too obvious.]

[installing]

[A chill runs up her spine, but she does her best to stay unwavering.]

Everything I've said still stands.

[shadowofpride]

[He tilts his head. Humans when they're trying to act tough is always amusing]

You're not scared? I guess my small presence in your house has dampen your ability to respond accordingly.

[installing]

[Of course she's scared. She's doing her best not to have her knees from shaking, but- if he wanted her dead she'd be that way already. She walks toward him- no, passed him- to pick up the weapons he bumped into.]

Not exactly.

[shadowofpride]

[He's just toying with her at this point. There were a lot of shadows inside this smithy. He could do whatever he wanted at any location in here.]

Do you even know what you should be scared of? You know what I am, but do you know what I can do?

[small shadow hands creep about on the floor behind Winry as she passes]

[installing]

[She swallows a nervous gulp as she places a bow and it's quiver back up on a shelf.]

Ed told me once.

[shadowofpride]

[His shadow hands simply linger for the time being]

Is he still here?

[installing]

He is. [A katana and kopesh, and crossbow are returned to their proper places.]
