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.

Pepper Potts. [She offers her hand to Winry.] You?

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

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

Re: [action]

[handing]

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

[installing]

He has a girlfriend? Wow.

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]

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.

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.

Re: [action]

[handing]

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.

[action]

[installing]

Well it has to come from me, no matter how many times other people have said it.

Re: [action]

[handing]

That's understandable. You are Elicia's guardian, as you've said.

[Which begs another question:] Have you heard from a man named Loki, then?

[action]

[installing]

I have.

[Her eyebrows furrow, and a small frown tugs at her lips. She's torn over what to do with that guy.]

Re: [action]

[handing]

[Well. Pepper's definitely got an opinion on it.]

And has anyone told you what he did in our world?

[Tony would have. But in case Winry needs to hear it again...]

[action]

[installing]

I got a few talks about it.
