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.]

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.

What kinds?

[...]

Reasonable kinds.

[~~STARS TO UNBUTTON SHIRT~~]

Fair enough. It's pretty troublesome to find things here that still feel valuable.

Well you can always call in favors, or set up a sort of barter. That's what I've been trying to do with Ed.

Sounds reasonable. [It doesn't give that same effect as having something, but this place is forcing him to look at things a little differently.]

I'll take one favor, then.

Yeah, but what kind of favor could you want from me?

[Suggesting that there's anything that someone named Greed wouldn't want?]

There isn't really anything physical you can help me with... but I always appreciate more company. I want you to hang out with me sometime. We can get to knock each other, have some fun. Ed, too. I could use a good group.

[Winry laughs.]

Hang out with you? I guess I could do that.

That'd be great. You might just have what it takes to be part of my hang. I wouldn't call you an underdog, but you're the kind of person who wants everything, and I respect that. Ed of course already volunteered to be part of my gang long ago.

Oh, right. That.

Hey, c'mon. It'll be fun. I'm a fun guy. You'll see.

Guess it can't hurt to try.

That's the spirit. Now that that's taken care of, I'm gonna go get some food.
