[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.

[She gives Pepper a brief, but firm, handshake.]

Winry Rockbell. I'm the one taking care of Elicia now that her parents are gone.

[Action]

[asthehawkflies]

Of course. Thank you for your time and have a good night.

[He'll head off now not entirely sure what just happened but it's better than he'd hoped for.]

[installing]

No, I think you don't have to meet me. How've you been, Ikki?

[Private]

[installing]

Some of Elicia's "friends" put her in danger, so now I have to screen all of them.

[installing]

Yeah... I've also heard some unsavory things about that Loki guy.

[action]

[installing]

Because of some fight they had back home.

[ voice // filtered ]

[installing]

No place for anyone.

action;

[installing]

And this is why I called everyone here. Honestly if a fight breaks out I don't want her near it at all. Whether it be with him or you.

[action]

[installing]

Is there something up? You know I trust you, right?

[action]

[installing]

No. It probably had nothing to do with the fact she was there.

[installing]

Thank you for the offer, but this is my responsibility.

[Action]

[installing]

Yeah, that's something I'll have to start with Elicia. Definitely.

[He offers her a faint smile with an encouraging nod, before he looks out over the river.]

We still have Ikki check in with us and the journals, too, and tell us about everyone she meets... [He trails off as he listens to himself, and he shakes his head.]

Isn't it weird, Winry? Just a few months ago... we were worried about the problems of being with the ones we love. But now... now, it's like we all skipped to being like parents.

It's nice to meet you, Ms. Rockbell. And in that case, you've probably already met Tony Stark. I'm his girlfriend.

[action]

[installing]

He has a girlfriend? Wow.

[voice]

[installing]

Then I guess it doesn't really concern you unless you intend to spend a lot of time with her.

Re: [action]

[handing]

Believe it or not. [Pepper laughs, wondering just what sort of impression Tony has made to result in Winry's surprise.]

So, what did you want to talk to everyone about? Is Elicia okay?

[Action]

[installing]

Crazy, right? But we're all strong. I'm sure we can handle it. They need us.

[action]

[installing]

I'm mostly screening Elicia's friends, and telling them that if I have to do this again she can't see them.

She's fine, but definitely shaken.

Re: [action]

[handing]

...Then let's hope you don't have to do this again.

[Although she understands the reasons, Pepper immediately thinks of how heartbroken Tony would be if Winry refused to let him see Elicia any longer.]

That's not surprising, but I'm glad she's okay over all.

Re: [action]

[taitaiho]

I'm Taiki. It's very nice to meet you.

[The child bows his head politely.]

I don't know Elicia very well, but she's very nice. We talked about playing together sometime.

[action]

[installing]

I understand that some fights can't be avoided in Luceti... but that doesn't mean Elicia should be involved in them. I don't want her to get in the middle of it.

[voice]

[vor]

Very well. Good luck.

[Private]

[markofthewise]

... some friends. What exactly did they do?

[deathsdoctor]

So have I. [Rubbing the bridge of his nose.] I honestly don't know what to think about him, yet...

[Brainwashing. That touches a nerve.]
