[Since Edward left to speak with Kiyoha and Aya he's lost track of time. He spent a few hours trying to scour the library for any information he can on how to possibly reverse the strange condition that was plaguing his brother and so many others.

It wasn't until his stomach had begun to make it's need of food known that he packed up the books he was reading and left the library and out into the district. He's got a small allowance to work with now, enough he figures to find himself something to eat lunch with now that the morning hours have come to an end.

When he spots Aizen, Alphonse stops in his tracks and stares for a moment. They had only spoken on the network the devices shared so far, and needing to meet in person eventually, Al saw no reason to not walk his way up towards the bench to do so.]

Good afternoon, Mr. Aizen.

[A lifetime and then some, Aizen had mentioned he was dead, with no friends... all Alphonse could really focus on was how lonely a life like that must have been. He dare not say it out loud though and thankfully Aizen is blind or else the sad look in his eyes would betray his own thoughts.]

So long as we are here ... I'll be your friend.

[However, what he wanted to say was simply something more natural, something that might have changed the subject. His heart however had gotten the better of him. He meant it none the less and a friend, well, wouldn't that make things all the better?]

[transcendens]

[ It's an unexpected offer, and certainly not one for which he had been angling. It brings a smile to his face, something genuine and brief, and he inclines his head in a gesture that is both a nod and a bow. ]

Then I too will be yours.

[alkahestry]

I'd like that.

[He admits, friends were nice, and here he did not have many people to look out for ... well, he had Ed, but that was different.]

It's nice to have people to watch over you and others to take care of.

[transcendens]

And I suspect that those individuals are needed here most of all.

[ Given the rate at which people fall victim to the myriad curses, and the things they are expected to do, it's something of a comfort to know that one is not alone. ]

[alkahestry]

Mmm.

[He agrees with a happy sound as he shifts on the bench.]

Do you plan on sitting here for the rest of the day? I was going to find some lunch, but I could help you back to Iki if you like.

[transcendens]

For a bit, yes. I'm afraid I have soaked up quite all of the sunshine yet.

[ He smiles, tipping his head in the direction of the city beyond them. ]

But please, don't let me keep you from your lunch. It's been a pleasure speaking with it and, I'm certain, given our housing arrangements, you and I shall encounter each other rather frequently. Perhaps next time I'll even be able to see you.

[alkahestry]

Mmmm. We will sometime soon I'm sure. If you need a hand later, you're welcome to contact me. I'll be glad to help.

[He slowly makes his way up from the bed, taking the time to adjust his yukata and sandals before bidding Aizen goodbye.]
