♨ 1 Apple Pie + Eighteen Apples and Cinnamon | Action/Voice ♨

[installing]

[Back dated to the 11th.

Four. Four birthdays in Luceti. Honestly none of them have ever been very exciting, but maybe it's better that way. Calling attention to age, especially now that she's 20, is a little of a scary thought. Instead she'll act like it's a normal day for most of it. Taking her dog for a walk in the late morning, spending time in the smithy, and even grocery shopping a bit. Eventually sometime in the afternoon, before dinner, she'll ask the village a question:]

A question for everyone: How do you feel about growing older here? Whether you already have or not. Is it scary to think about?
[Families? Relationships? Are they even a good idea? Despite the fact those are things she wants.]

[automailed]

[...Ugh, that's right.]

I wish it had been more specific. Sure leaves a lot to the imagination.

Finding a way out.

[menial]

Says the mechanic.

[godbent]

Yeah, but a full movie might be a bit much, wouldn't it? I don't want to eat up too much of your day... [But she's just being bashful, really]

[installing]

I'm not sure what to expect... I mean I've met a child that has been born here. She didn't seem too bad off.

[installing]

Why don't we just do one? Set it up together, and see what I got?

voice;

[installing]

Oh, uh- Sure! If you want to! Thanks, Ran Fan.

[installing]

No... a lot of other people have said the same thing. But they're not from my world, they don't understand.

[Voice, Private]

[installing]

I guess just trying to keep yourself busy is the best thing a person can do.

voice;

[installing]

If not I'm sure Sokka will tell you.

voice;

[installing]

A way out so you can go back to being... dead? Sorry if I don't follow.

[installing]

Is there a problem with it?

[i_speak_softly]

[Don is silent for a few moments before he speaks again, this time in a serious tone.]

Winry... don't let go of the things that used to be important to you. Even when no one understands. Maybe especially when no one understands.

[Voice, Private]

[savedtheworld]

I guess so. But... You still have good things, right? And, I mean... Elicia, she's like your family now, isn't she?

[godbent]

Deal. [She agrees immediately. She doesn't want to impose, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to proudly be with Winry]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

More like the Filial spirits here, if that makes any sense. Most of the summon spirits in my world have one particular element they're associated with, but I'm special.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Wedding bells in the future, perhaps?

[installing]

They keep saying, "Winry! You're too young to worry about this!"

But... of course that doesn't stop me. The way I grew up, the dreams I had as a kid make me who I am. I'm not going to give that up.

[Voice, Private]

[installing]

I do, but I'd rather her be home. [It's difficult raising a child for someone else.]

[installing]

Hm, what would be the best place to put this? The living room?

We don't have anything hanging up on the walls, so...

[Voice]

[installing]

["Special." Of course, everyone here is special. And by special she means weird. Super weird.]

Special how?

1/3

[installing]

I- Wha- N-

I mean-

2/3

[installing]

That's not-!

[Voice]

[installing]

That kind of thing is something he's not ready for!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Well, I didn't make anything! But only because I'm saving that for later. But what I did get isn't too bad either. I saw it in the store and I figured you'd like it. At least, it made me think of you.

[Under the counter is a box. An entirely unwrapped box. But it has a stick-on bow at least. He holds it out for her.

Inside is an action figure of all things. Pretty silly. But it looked like her when she was a warrior princess. Underneath it is some more practical gifts. A new scarf and a pair of mittens.]
