No, not again!

[Both people over the journals and near the smithy can hear her yelling. Winry, in her surprise had dropped her journal - and then stepped on it when moving back a little. Over the journal the crunching sounds of metal (yes, metal) can be heard. A large Pokémon is eating the supply metals in the Smithy's closet. It's always a wonder how they get in there, but somehow they do. Winry tries fruitlessly to coax the creature out of the closet, but it doesn't seem to want to pay attention to her.]

Oh, come on! I thought we had agreed you'd at least ask first.
[In which Winry mistakes Giovanni's Aggron for Sapphire's ~~all Pokémon look alike, hush~~. Because her lack of luck she turns to the journal, picking it up.]

Can one of you trainer guys come get this guy out of here? He's ruining everything he touches.

[ooc: forward dated to tomorrow because I'm dumb. Whoops.]

Are you going to hurt it? What if it's owner comes to get it?

I'm gonna see what it's like and I'm not gonna give it more than it can take. I'm sure its owner has to rough it up every now and then.

Fine, go ahead.

[He flashes her a smirk and then casually strolls over to the closet. That's a pretty big critter alright. The Aggron is currently facing away from the door and chewing down on an axe. Greed immediately starts to pull on her tail.]

Hey buddy. Quit that. Feeding time's over.

[There is promptly an iron tail being thrashed across Greed's unhardened face, knocking him back into the opposite wall.]

[Winry winces when she hears that, and peeks her head around the corner.]

You didn't break anything, did you?

Just my face. [The small gash that was left on his face is already healing up. But now the Aggron's kind of aggravated and has turned to face Greed, peering out through the closet.]

I'm gonna have to make this harder for him.

[And he begins spreading the Ultimate Shield through his body while the Aggron begins to stomp out of the closet towards him.]

[Oh dear. Winry hides in the doorway between the front room and the back, so she can watch the fight. To be perfectly honest she's less concerned for Greed's safety and more so for the smithy's condition.]

[Greed steps closer once he's fully in the Ultimate Shield.]

This should even things out.

[The Aggron furiously makes a series of slashes at Greed, while he braces himself and tries to hold his ground.]

[Wow, Greed is kind of terrifying looking with his full shield on. The blonde keeps watching the fight. Mostly so that if they break something she can yell at them.]

[Greed waits for the slashes to die down, then he kicks at the Aggron in the chest. The Aggron staggers back slightly, but it seems minimally damaged. She proceeds to lower her head and charge at Greed, slamming him into the wall, with the Aggron's horns jabbing into the wall.]

[That's what she was afraid off. Despite the smithy being able to repair itself on a usual day, Winry doesn't like it when you hurt her baby. So she winds up grabbing a slingshot from one of racks. She doesn't use it, though. Oh no. She tosses it at the two fighting, and yells at them.]

Hey! This place isn't yours to wreck! [Also the slingshot probably misses the aggron entirely and beans Greed on the head. Whoops.]

[It does bean him - luckily one of the pros of the Ultimate Shield is that virtually nothing can hurt him, but he's still agitated.]

The hell did you just throw at me?

[The Aggron was withdrawn for the moment to prepare her next attack, leaving Greed free to examine the slingshot. He plays around with the rubber band.]

Is this supposed to be useful?

It was just supposed to get your attention, shut up! Look what you did to the wall! You said you wouldn't break anything!

It got my attention alright. [He steps closer to Winry.] And this is different, it's just a wall! Don't they fix themselves here anyway?

[And as he talks, the Aggron is behind him, ready to charge forward.]

[While having this... thing that is Greed talk to her she's trying not to be too scared by his appearance. It's weird, and monster-like. Perhaps not nightmare inducing, but definitely something from a not-so-happy fairy tale. It's just Greed, though, and as she begins to snap out of her little trance onset by his not-so-friendly appearance she catches what's happening behind him. Winry quickly points at the aggron.]

Behind you!

[Greed quickly spins around and meets the Aggron head-on as she begins her charge. He slides back a few feet as the Aggron pushes before they reach a standstill, both pushing at each other. But Greed's not ready to give up yet.]

Where should I put it?

What do you mean "Put it"!? You can't just "put it" anywhere like it's some misplaced toy!

Well it's gonna eat all your toys if I can't isolate it! [Pause] Know what? I got a better idea. Move out of the way. I'm taking this thing outside.

[And so Greed weakens his grip on the Aggron, which allows her to begin shoving him back. But Greed retains his hold to direct the Aggron's path, steering her towards the front door.]

[Winry moves out of the way so Greed can do that. She'll end up watching - speechless, and staring.]

[And so Greed slides back with the Aggron's shove and after a few veers, they go straight through the front door outside. Greed quickly releases his hold, hops back into the smithy and holds the door shut.]

There! Problem solved.

Oh, wow. Uh... thanks. [She just... stares at the door in amazement. That was a pretty great display of strength.]

[He starts to withdraw the Shield with a grin on his face.]

Not a problem, Winry. That was pretty fun.

[She frowns while watching him return to a more human looking figure. She'll... never get used to that, she doesn't think.]

You enjoyed it, huh? Guess that means I don't have to pay you for it.

[He pays little mind to her reaction and just casually stretches a little.]

Hey, it'd be a different story if this place had any money. Just because you enjoy something doesn't mean you should do it for free.

[Winry shrugs.]

I've learned to take different forms of payment here, other than money.
