[fic] State of Mind - Chapter Eleven

<’But what is it?’> Ward cocked his head this way and that, staring at the frost and snow spread across the clearing.

Perched just inside his den, the snow stuff was disturbingly white and clean. With its arrival the air had gotten much colder than it was the disastrous evening before. He pushed away all thoughts of bloody heads, glazed eyes ( Read more... )

Oh, poor Fons. *sends him pettings*

I don't think the Mustang will think Ward's "too young" for much longer. *cackles a little bit*

ahh, it's nice to come back from vacation and have five chapters to read in a row. *__* and yay for Ward finally figuring out alchemy!

The Mustang's view of age is entirely subjective :P

Glad you're enjoying it~ :D

Ah, I'd wondered where the other commenter(s) were! On vacation, apparently.

"Hard water", hee!

I loved how you referenced the equivalent exchange principle! Leaves and sticks into foot pelts, couldn't Ward use dirt? Or does it not have the right elements?

I am so distressed over the whole pack debacle. I like Alfons! Sting is crazy, and not a good mate, imho, but that is what joining the pack means! I had forgotten that.

Ward is extraordinarily dense when it comes to mating, but that is so in character. Edward needs relationship stuff explained really plainly, canonically. I really hope that Sting isn't too unpleasant about it, or that Alfons is the one to...explain. :)

A few things:
Lots of practice at the riverbank had taught him so, along with patience that not everything will be right immediately. Tense problem there.

Oh, that was right. Joining the pack business. This is the second time the "pack business" was brought up, so it rings wrong to me that he's just realizing this.

<’I’m not anyone’s. I am me.’> Did you mean ( ... )

Officially my unofficial beta! elric_ward August 18 2010, 07:32:22 UTC
It is meant to be "mine" and I could have sworn that's what I wrote. You have such keen eyes!

Mating will be explained to him soon :D Someone needs to explain the birds and the bees to him - in fact, you just reminded me about something I needed to tweak in regards to that talk with that person.

The last section would have happened later that night/early morning (thinking 3amish).
I'm not entirely sure how weather would work in Amestris, but in the places I have lived it will slowly get coldish then in the space of a day/night you get coooold frost/snow snap and come out the next day to snow (shudder). Lets pretend this national park will be somewhere to the north. :D

Hah, I am totally doing the beta thing. Being official means I would get it first, before anyone else. That sounds good to me! Would you like to, or is our present arrangement okay?

The birds and the bees, coming soon to a theater near you! Yes...

Yeah, I can sorta see the timeline, now that it's explained, I've never camped outside in the north (or at all), although I did live in Minnesota for a year.

I think our present one is good, otherwise you would end up with the entire story at once (+3 chapters of the sequel) and then go weeeeks with nothing :D
Also I'm a shy scardy-cat

I am, rather unfortunately, stuck in a horribly cold place very far south. It'd be fine if I was camping but...
