Operation 003 - Old Wounds

[herrdoctortenma]

[Dr. Tenma's not a very happy camper today. After receiving a beautiful, jewel-encrusted ring in a small box in the mail, it seems as though Tenma's been fairly down in the dumps all afternoon. You'll likely run into him...

A. At the Hospital, making his daily rounds.

B. In the Park, trying to get a breath of fresh air and soothe his nerves.

C. On his

Nina.

[Tenma glances up at her, and for a brief second, his eyes look a bit warmer. But that warmth quickly fades as he reaches a hand into his coat pocket, fiddling with the box.]

...it's nothing.

[herrdoctortenma]

[Tenma contemplates the matter before letting out a sigh, digging into his pocket and pulling out a small box.]

I received something from home in the mail today.

[He hands it over to Nina.]

It was my ex-fiancee's.

[Guess what Euphie has!

A NEW BIKE.

Guess where she's riding it!

DOWN STONE STREET.

Guess what she doesn't know how to do!

STOP.]

Oh, no! Sir! Look out, please!

[herrdoctortenma]

[Tenma's eyes shoot wide as Euphie's bike grows ominously closer. He manages to leap out of the way, barely managing not to get clipped by her.]

[geassedmassacre]

Thank you!

[Euphie's going to smile and shout at him over her shoulder, only to yelp as she turns back around just in time to see the hedge about a yard down right before she plows into it.]

[herrdoctortenma]

Look out!

[He winces as Euphie crashes, racing forward to the hedge.]

A-are you all right?

[Johan just loves to sneak up on people, doesn't he.]

Hello Doctor.

[herrdoctortenma]

[Tenma glances over his shoulder, nodding in greeting.]

Johan.

[hungry_monster]

[Falling into step with him.]

How have you been doing?

[herrdoctortenma]

[Tenma allows it, still walking home slowly.]

I've been better. There's a lot on my mind.

[Hey look, it's your next door neighbor at 452 Stone, splashing around in a pond that wasn't there a few days ago. It's in the back yard, but she's making a lot of noise so it's probably pretty hard to miss. At the very least, the ruckus she's causing might interfere with any plans he had for peace and quiet tonight.]

[herrdoctortenma]

[Hearing all of that wild noise, Tenma steps out into his backyard to get a look at what's going on. He blinks, somewhat surprised.]

...I don't remember this being here.

[moemoetentacles]

[Squid Girl whips around to face Tenma, pointing dramatically.]

You! You'd better not be here to pollute my pond!

[herrdoctortenma]

[Bwuh? Tenma shakes his head in confusion.]

I---I didn't plan on---

[ Winry was out walking Den with her new dog leash... but she is far from used to having to walk him on one of these things, so let him off once they were in the park.

And off to Tenma that dog went, whether Winry wanted it or not. ]

Ack! Den! Don't start this again!

[ She'll follow up behind Den as he goes to sniff Tenma's hand. Den wants petting. ]

Sorry! Geez, he's never been like this back home..!

[herrdoctortenma]

[Tenma's momentarily startled by the dog, but he manages a shaky smile to his trainer, gingerly reaching down to pat the dog on his head.]

Oh, no. It's no bother. Please, don't worry about it.
