-=We have our unsuspecting victim here sitting in a chair in his room. His automail leg is propped up on a footstool, probably bothering him with the thunderstorm. Ed's head is down, but he looks lost in thought as he slowly turns something in his fingers. Like a button or a coin. It's more a coin since he suddenly chucks it as hard as he could ( Read more... )

...I...I'm so sorry.

-=freezes a moment, but doesn't turn his head to look at the Chanter=-

Wasn't anything you could do...

[looking from the chanter to the wall which recently echoed with the force of the coin thrown into it then back to the chanter. He hesitates like he wants to say something profound and meaningful but then looks away.]

He said he was sick... [looks back up, brow creased in confusion]
Did he tell you he was...dying?

saintedsinner July 10 2009, 17:46:41 UTC

It was apparent. The way he was sick was like Izumi...

smokinggunner July 10 2009, 18:15:19 UTC

Izumi... that was your teacher, right?

[shakes his head sadly. Just how much suffering did these boys have to go through?]

I hadn't realized he was that sick... I'm sorry.

saintedsinner July 10 2009, 18:18:29 UTC

Shouldn't have to apologize for it. You didn't know.

I didn't know him that well, but.. there was something.

[Al shifts into the room, freshly washed -- he's spent the morning scrubbing all the blood away, though he's left Alfons where he is on the bed. He doesn't have the heart to call anyone to take him to the... the morgue. Not yet. He can barely think it.

Numbly, Al settles down on the floor, his back against the footstool Ed's sitting on, hugging his knees.]

This is my fault.

[Real-time] saintedsinner July 10 2009, 19:38:17 UTC

How is this your fault?

[Real-time] bloodseal_soul July 10 2009, 19:45:03 UTC

We could have made the money to heal him in time if I'd been my normal self. Then I wouldn't have had to have been looked after, and I could have brought in enough, and...

[He breaks off, tearing up.]

[Real-time] saintedsinner July 10 2009, 19:56:56 UTC

Alp--Al...

Stop. -=shifts this time, upsurping Wessen and leaning over to touch Al's head.=-

Guilt isn't going to do you or anyone else any good.
