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.

This Loki guy isn't the first dangerous guy we've handled.

action;

[alloys]

Even the first dangerous one to take a shine to Elicia?

action;

[installing]

He was from our world, and lived with us. I didn't know he was dangerous until Ed told me. He... looked and acted like an innocent boy about Elicia's age.

[alloys]

[Oh, good, evil children.]

Was she around then?

action;

[installing]

She was. Elicia wasn't aware of what he was, though, so she was safe. Seli- I mean Pride, spent most of his time disguising himself and pretending to be a little boy.

[alloys]

I don't see how being oblivious makes her safe.

Pride may have hated humans, but back home he had an objective that was in no way possible to achieve here. In Luceti he was trapped and had no purpose. He tried hurting people once, but most of his "fun" came from keeping the people who knew his secret on edge. Elicia was of no concern to him.

[Winry accepted the brunt of his games. Many times did she pull all nighters just because she heard his shadows scratching at her door. He terrified her, and he knew it. But then in the morning she would pour him a bowl of cereal like nothing had happened. Both of them kept the charade, and honestly Winry felt it was best that way.]

[He's heard similar arguments for Loki. He didn't have anything to gain by being 'villainous' here, and maybe they're right. But...it just doesn't sit right with him. Pretending like there isn't a problem. Pretending like Luceti is the only thing that counts.]

And you think Loki will be the same way.

action;

[installing]

No. I know nothing about Loki. But what from what I've heard I'd rather not provoke him, or tell him "no" and have him lash out in spite of that.

[A girl like her telling a man like him what to do... That's rich.]
