[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.

Yeah... please don't. We'll work it out. It's not like I mind kissing him.

I'm okay with giving him practice.

[markofthewise]

[He snickers.]

Are you sure it's not a chore?

[installing]

What? No! This is just kissing! Just the tip of the iceberg! I can't think of kissing the man I want to have kids with as a "chore"!

[markofthewise]

I think we're starting to tread into the "I don't need to know" territory. I'm happy with just the tip of the iceberg.

[installing]

It's not like I'd go into detail, Sokka. I'm a lady.

[markofthewise]

A fact for which I am very grateful.

[installing]

Either way I'm not sure how to tell him he's kind of bad without crushing his pride.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, that would be a pretty crushing blow. I guess I was just lucky that Suki was just as new as it as I was.

[installing]

Do you think it'd be rude if I gave him tips before hand?

[markofthewise]

Maybe. Or maybe you could paint an alchemy circle on your lips. That might help.

[installing]

I don't even know what they look like aside from shapes inside circles inside a bigger circle. He'd make fun of me for getting it wrong.

[Then she does a mock-Ed voice:] That's not how you do it! You have it all wrong, automail freak! Blah blah transmutation blah.

[markofthewise]

Well of course you wouldn't do it. Drawing an alchemy circle isn't like putting on makeup. You'd need someone else to do it for you.

[Someone like... Sokka!]

[installing]

Wouldn't that run the risk of turning my lips into a clock or something? Alchemy is weird.

[markofthewise]

Hmm. Only if Ed activated the circle by accident. So maybe it's not a good idea.

[installing]

See? Alchemy has no place when it comes to learning how to love.

[markofthewise]

Maybe not, but it may be the only way for Ed to get it.

[installing]

He doesn't miss, he's just sloppy.

[markofthewise]

... sloppy? Does he drool or something?

[installing]

No! He just- It's weird. He doesn't know how to move his mouth and our rhythms are off... Or sometimes he just gets overwhelmed by it all and we have to stop. He doesn't say that, but I know.

[markofthewise]

Winry, don't take this the wrong way and I only say this because I'm a friend, but is it possible... you're just used to kissing girls?

[installing]

What?! I've kissed guys before! It's not like I don't know how! They were all experiments, but they count! They do!

[markofthewise]

Yeah, but since they were experiments, that kind of changes it a little. I mean, you're not thinking the same way then. You're thinking, "Wow I sure do like kissing this guy" and now thinking about, well, the kind of kisses you're used to.

[installing]

What about Haruki!? Those weren't experiments!

[markofthewise]

Yeah, but that was a long time ago.

[installing]

You don't just... forget how to kiss.

It's like riding a bike.
