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

[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.]

Come on, I totally could beat you at other things.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka just chuckled.]

Winry. Please.

[Action]

[installing]

Stop joking! I know can beat you at anything you name that we have in common!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Okay, sure, automail. But I'm a way better smith than you are. I made a sword that can separate into several smaller swords. Impractical? Very. Incredibly cool? Even more very.

[Action]

[installing]

No, no. Weapons and armor are out of the question. It has to be something we've both done, and you know I don't do that.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Okay, fine. [What else do they have in common? She cooks, he doesn't. He fights, she doesn't. She automails, he doesn't. He alchemies, she doesn't.

OH!]

I'm a way better kisser than you are.

[Action]

[installing]

Excuse you, I'm the better kisser!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Look, you're not bad at it. It's just. You could be better, that's all. I think you got too used to kissing girls.

[Action]

[installing]

You say that like I haven't been kissing Ed for a while! You don't know how good I kiss!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Yes I do. We kissed just recently. [He gestures at the action figure.] The Warrior Princess, remember?

[Action]

[installing]

That wasn't a real kiss, dammit!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Felt real enough to me.

[Action]

[installing]

Maybe that's because you're a bad kisser.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

Winry. Please.

[Action]

[installing]

Sokka! What did I say about that!? Do you want to get hit?

[Action]

[markofthewise]

All I'm saying is that I'm a great kisser. That's all. So it can't be that.

[Action]

[installing]

Oh, so it's my birthday and all you can tell me is I'm a bad kisser?

[Pouting because you're a jerk, Sokka.]

[Action]

[markofthewise]

It's not that you're bad. It's just that I'm better. That's all. If anything, it's good! You have something to strive for.

[Action]

[installing]

Excuse me? I think you have something to strive for. You are the worse kisser.

[Action]

[markofthewise]

It's cute that you think that, Winry.

[Action]

[installing]

Y-yeah, well-!

I bet I'm better at kissing girls than you are!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

I'm sure Ed appreciates that.

[Action]

[installing]

[She stomps her feet on the floor in frustration. Winry turns a bit so she can let herself fall back into the couch in defeat.]

I'm a terrible girlfriend!

[Action]

[markofthewise]

[Sokka gives her a pat on the shoulder.]

There there. I'm pretty sure Ed doesn't think that. I mean, he doesn't really have anything to compare with.

[Action]

[installing]

[She folds her arms with the figurine in hand.]

Yes he has.
