[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.

[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.

[She gives an exasperated sigh.]

Most of the people who have come to me I trust, but dealing with this... it's definitely a headache.

[Action]

[asthehawkflies]

[Well, she hasn't tried to attack him yet. That's a good thing, right?]

I didn't know she was there. If I had I would never have...

I was stupid. And angry.

action

[installing]

No, but it that doesn't make it any less wrong.

[ voice // filtered ]

[installing]

Shaken up, but... I really wish this hadn't happened. She doesn't need people screwing up her childhood more than this place already has.

[action]

[installing]

I think she will be.

[taitaiho]

Hello. Are you the person who wanted to talk to people about Elicia Hughes?

[action]

[installing]

A guy named Clint shot a man named Loki while she was around.

[Action]

[installing]

Did you hear about what happened?

[action]

[all7seas]

You think. Might I inquire as to what happened to disturb said tiny cherub?!

Action

[installing]

One of her "friends" got her into a dangerous situation, so I want to talk to them all.

action

[stilldontgotit]

No, it doesn't. The fact that she was in danger in the first place...

[He cringes, clenching his fists.]

I'm guessing it was still pretty hard on her.

Re: Action

[heartisabattleground]

What?! Who did that? Is she okay?

[Action]

[installing]

Angry?

[action]

[installing]

I am. And you are?

[Action]

[asthehawkflies]

[That's more detail than he really wants to tell a stranger, but she deserves to know the truth.]

I found out that Loki... he killed a good friend of mine. On top of everything else, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

action

[installing]

Yes. That's why I'm here to screen all her friends.

[action]

[installing]

Some people got into a confrontation in front of her. It ended up bloody.

[Action]

[installing]

[...Damn, really? So that weird guy is a killer? She puts a hand to her chin, thinking.]

I'm sorry for your loss. He was very adamant about still being able to see Elicia in the future. What is your opinion of him?
[She knows it'll be a low opinion because of the death of Clint's friend, however Winry feels she needs to know more about Loki.]

Action

[installing]

Hey, I think you should slow down. I barely know you. How do I know you're not one of Elicia's not-so-good-friends?

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

With Loki? ...Yes. I helped him get to the clinic before I knew she was involved at all.

[Action]

[installing]

Do you know who he is at all? [Because Winry has no clue.]

[Action]

[asthehawkflies]

[That's not what he'd expected at all and he's taken aback for a moment, before just nodding.]

I'm not exactly an impartial judge. He brainwashed me, made me attack my own people, fight against my best friend. He sent an army out against a civilian population.

[And he could leave it there but...]

But he hasn't done anything here. And much as I hate to say anything in his defence, I don't think he'd hurt the kid. He was so angry about what I did, and it wasn't on his own behalf.

[action]

[all7seas]

Oh.

[That was not good. Not good for the mite.]

But SHE didn't. End up bloody.

Re: Action

[heartisabattleground]

Uh well...

[He rubs the back of his head.]

Okay, she said we were friends last time and I know, I don't remember in my head. But my heart is telling me that I was. I wouldn't put her in danger, ever.

[Action]

[installing]

[Her eyes widen a bit at the story, but by the end they narrow and she wears a frown.] That... is weird. Really weird.

[What kind of behavior is that for someone who brainwashes people? Honestly maybe Clint isn't the most reliable source of information because of his bias, but she's heard from the grapevine that he was associated with Tony at one point. And even if she tends to loathe Tony at some points she knows she can trust Elicia with him. And... well she's known proper men (Kimblee) to be psychopaths before, so maybe this shouldn't be a surprise.]
