[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.

Hi. What's happened?

[Straight to the point.]

Hey Winry. Is everything alright? I know Elicia has had it rough lately with her parents leaving, is she doing okay?

[He sighs.] That's fair. If conflict ends up being unavoidable--and that's his call, not mine--I'll personally ensure that Elicia is far removed. I hate to admit this, but Loki probably will, too.

[He'd seen the other man's eyes when they'd talked about her before. He knows that look.]

[Grune has only just returned from her spelunking trip with the Brigade, but even though she's a little tired, when she hears the message, she sets out...almost right away.

She also brought with her Sophie, House 34's resident four-year-old. Sophie has only met Elicia the once, but in Grune's mind, that's definitely enough to make them friends.

(Really, it'll probably be something of a relief when Winry sees this particular duo make their extremely slow way towards the bridge, given who some of her visitors were.)

When they get a little closer, she calls out cheerfully:] Hello, Winry!

[Sophie, for her part, just waves. She's not exactly a talkative kid.]

[He looked back at her with a fond smile.]

You're right. They're tiny and we're big, so we gotta look out for them. I... I do believe in all of us. And I like to think we've been doing a good job so far already.

But they can't put her in danger because of that!

No, you're right. No one does. And the person who started that fight before has had that point driven home many times over, I'm sure.

[Whelp. Winry uttered the magic words, so Sanji will take time out of his schedule to drop by. She didn't really specify, and that makes him worry.]

Winry... chan...? Right? [They've met before, very briefly a while back, but the chef cants his head slightly all the same]

I know that she was involved in an... incident not too long ago. How has she been doing since then?

Mmmmm.

You don't really need me about anymore today, do you, Miss Rockbell?

[Then she is marginally perplexed about why you're collecting targets, Winry.]

Oh. Okay. ...I mean it's not okay that something like that happened in front of her, but I thought- never mind. What did you wanna say to everybody?

Although we did kinda want to have a sleepover maybe!! We talked about askin' you or Grandpa or Katara!

Mm, I've been good! I've been doing training things with Soren plus all my other stuff, and we have the book report thing due for when school starts I guess, annnnnnnd the art club has their second meeting tomorrow, so Rapunzel an' I have been getting ready for that!

As ever, I think that depends on the anyone.

[Elicia's probably long been put to bed, but Haruhi's in the living room, reading a book. She would work more on the sewing machine, but she actually thinks that might be too loud, all things considered. Interestingly, the book she is reading is about surgery and may or may not be from Winry's room.

She's up and waiting for Winry and/or Ed to return]

[That gets Jack's attention, all right, meaning he'll be heading right out to that bridge. Remembering his prior conversation with Elicia, he can only assume that this must be Winry, but he can ask about that later. There are more important things right now.]

Did something happen to her?

Yeah. I hope it's enough since their parents aren't here.

That if I ever hear she was put in danger that could have been avoided again, that whoever did it won't be allowed to visit her again.

She's been getting better.

Someone got Elicia caught in the middle of a fight. I want to make sure that doesn't happen again.

[Winry scratches the back of her neck where the bar code is.]

Yeah, I... I talked to him already.

[There's a slow blink. Elicia is obviously okay...

...but seriously?]

Which fight was this?

Thank you for understanding.

[Her posture relaxes, and she looks over the bridge railing to look at the sky's reflection on the water. If the whole night is going to be like this, it'll be an exhausting one.]

My thanks to you as well.

[He bows.]

Have you need of anything else?

Just be warned that if you ever do the same I'll have to ask you to stop seeing her.

Me too. I know the usual thing you gotta say about Luceti is that everyone's better off back home. But the exception should be parents while their kids are here, so they can make sure they're the safest. Even though Ikki's still smiling... I worry sometimes, because I don't know if it's the same choices Ikki's dad [my son] would make. It makes me afraid that I'm messing up, and that he or her mom would be disappointed in me.
