[Voice]
Hello? I'd like to personally speak with all the friends and "guardians" of Elicia Hughes. It's very important, and I would rather speak in person. Meet me on the bridge passed houses thirty one and thirty three.

Everyone else? What are your favorite dinner recipes? I need to spice up my cooking, and sometimes cookbooks just won't do it.

[Action]
[And those who will come to meet her shall see her standing in the middle of the bridge looking over the side. She's not alone, though. Not too far off will be one alchemist around to make sure everything is okay.

[Winry turns away from looking at the water to Law. She waves as he approaches.]

Hello.

[The problem is, Loki is very, very bad at this. He's bad at caring about people, bad at expressing it, bad at being anything but the conniving villain. This is unfamiliar territory.

He rubs his forehead with one hand, voice going quiet for a moment.]

I already did.

[He already did his best to protect her. And will hopefully do better, should there be a next time. He is nothing, if not creative.

His voice sharpens again as he continues on.]

You have my word on that as well. Clint Barton shan't be using me for target practice again.

OH. Erm. Wasn't me, so I suppose you don't very much want to be hearing from me right now, do you.

She alright?

Well...I only talked to her a couple of weeks ago, but we were friends when I was here in Luceti last. But, I don't remember her or this place. But, she wanted to be friends still and I was okay with it.

Why? Did something happen?

[Winry frowns. This man is making excuses. "He attacked me. He targeted me. He wasn't a fool before-" Bull crap. This man is just as responsible for putting Elicia in that situation as the shooter was.]

This isn't just about what he did, sir. This is about any future confrontation that may happen with anyone. It may seem like I'm giving you a hard time about this, but I have to. With her mother and father not around I have to make sure she's safe, and anyone who might want to be around her is safe.

I'm partial to orange chicken. But uh. Is everything alright?

[He makes a frustrated sigh.]

No, no, I do not think you are... giving me a hard time at all. I understand that Elicia's safety is of the utmost importance. In this, it is to me as well, I assure you.

In good conscience, I can promise you that I shall seek no conflicts, and should any arise I shall do my best to avoid being anywhere near the children. Violence is in no one's true interest in this situation.

[His lips compress in a thin line.]

This seems the sort of place in which the unexpected happens, which I like not at all. [He snorts.] Which is perhaps why my presence is not entirely a bane.

Wait a minute. Elicia got in a fight? With who?

[Because whoever they are, they are going to die a slow and painful ninja death.]

[He nods.]

Yeah, we only talked a few times, but she seems really nice. And... I've been worried for her.

Ummm I've only spoken with her once!! But I would like to be friends! We're the same age and pretty much no one else is my age most people are grandpa or Katara or Uncle Sokka's ages!! Does that count??

Oh also I like anything Katara makes!!

Wait. Wait wait wait. Tony did that?

Maybe not personally, but I know that a person he is associated with was. I think he knows the other guy too.

How is she? Elicia? Is she okay?

Hey. [A nod as he comes up beside her.] So how's it been so far?

[It's a general request that doesn't sit entirely well with Pepper, but given everything that's happened she can see the concern. She has no doubt Tony will make his way over too, but Pepper heads to the bridge in question on her own, a little surprised to see a young girl standing there.]

Excuse me. Were you the one asking about people who are friends of Elicia?

[Taiki isn't sure if he should go--after all, he's only spoken to Elicia one time. But the lady sounds concerned, and she says it's important, so Taiki eventually does head out. He'd like to be friends with Elicia, after all. They promised to play together, and to have dinner.

So Taiki goes, although he's not sure who he should be looking for. There's someone waiting there, but Taiki still hesitates before he walks up to her.]

Um, excuse me?

[It takes Clint a really long time to build himself up to this. But it needs to be done. He screwed up. It's on his head, and he's not gonna let Tony or Steve take the rap for him.

He goes unarmed and dressed as casually as he can manage, and hovers for a while until there's no-one else around.

He keeps a good distance between them, hands loosely at his sides and trying to look harmless.]

Are you her guardian, miss?

Edited 2012-10-14 23:58 (UTC)

I am. Who are you?

[Elicia has so many adult "friends." However it's not a surprise considering there aren't a whole lot of young children for her to play with.]

Hello?

[Winry is a (now) nineteen year old young woman. She could by married by now if she was home.]

Yes, that was me. Who are you?

[This actually makes her smile a bit. It's nice to know Elicia can make some friends more her age.]

Well I'm sure I'd love for you to be friends with Elicia.

[He doesn't think he's been so nervous in his life and that includes facing down the Black Widow.]

Clint Barton, ma'am.

I owe you, and her, an apology. More than an apology.

Not entirely, but I hope it will be.

She didn't get hurt, did she?

[Because if she did, they'll have to deal with one angry Keyblade Master, yes indeedy.]

[Winry folds her arms under her chest, and nods. Of course her owes them an apology.]

So tell me, why did you think it was a good idea to shoot a man in front of a young girl?
