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.

If not now, then she will when she's older. It might take time, but she'll eventually come around.

Have you spoken to her about all this?

[installing]

I was going to soon. I heard about Katara and Aang talking with Ikki.

[deathsdoctor]

That's good. The sooner she begins to recognize that some people have ulterior motives other than friendliness and can pick them out, the better.

[installing]

My thoughts exactly.

[deathsdoctor]

... and everyone else?

[He has an idea of where this is going.

... how he feels about it... he's still coming to a decision.]

[installing]

I'm... making everyone promise that they'll stay away from Elicia if they ever end up knowingly put her in danger like he did. Some people think I can't pull it off or that I'm some kind of idiot who doesn't understand how this place works.

[deathsdoctor]

You're not an idiot... and frankly, it's the fairest thing that can be done. It's not like you're saying regardless of the circumstances behind any incident, if anything happens the person is barred.

I do see the point about enforcement, and if Ed's not enough, I'm willing to step in.

If it gets to that point, though... [He spreads his hands.] it's gone much farther than just someone throwing a tantrum or being stubborn.

[installing]

Yeah... honestly if anyone puts up a fight that Ed can't handle they shouldn't be around Elicia anyway.
