I thought I should let everyone know...

Edward and I were attacked today by the Alphonse who lives with Winry... Our kitchen was pretty much destroyed, although Edward has managed to patch it up for the most part, but various utensils and much of the food cannot be recovered, sadly. Aside from that, we are both mostly alright, though recovering from moderate burns caused by bombs of some

He did what?! I can't believe this... Is there anything at all I can do to help?

[lostforeigner]

We will be alright, but danke... Just keep an eye out for the kitten. We will need a bit of time to recover; perhaps we ought to move our festival back a week, to the 24th?

[unsuremechanic]

Are you sure? I'm willing to help pay for anything you lost because of the attack. And yes, if that works better for you, then by all means change the date.

[lostforeigner]

It is not your fault, so it is really not necessary for you to pay for this, although I appreciate the gesture. Danke for your generosity.

God, I hope we get her back, my poor baby... What if something bad happens to her? What if she gets run over? What if - ? *stops himself, head in his hands, and eyes watering*

We... We should get you to the hospital too or something. That burn on your back was kind of big...

[lostforeigner]

Sssh, it will be okay. Someone will find her. Or perhaps she will come home on her own when she feels safe... Cats do that, usually. They do not go far.

That might be a good idea, ja. ::frowns:: Gott, this delays my search for your medicine, too...

[ipwnturtles]

But she's so small still, and far too curious for her own good in a situation like this... I can't believe that fucking asshole... *sniffles softly*

Don't worry about it. *sighs heavily* It's important that you take care of yourself. I'll live, so...

[lostforeigner]

I know... Sssh... ::hugs him gently with his left arm, kissing his cheek::

I need to call my employers, then, and tell them I will not be in for work this week. I hope that is alright. Friday is the last day the labs are open for student research before closing for the summer, and I know they wanted me there...

[betterthaned]

Hey! I found a cat just like that earlier! Except her name isn't Katrin-whatever. It's Mimi.

[lostforeigner]

Ahm, just like that, you say..? ::brightens a bit:: Where did you find this cat?

[betterthaned]

By some bushes. Why?

[lostforeigner]

Some bushes where? What does the tag on her collar say, if she has one?

[unsuremechanic]

Er... While I do feel bad that Edward's injuries are Al's fault, I don't think I'd be able to watch him. Sorry...

[lostforeigner]

::nods slowly, then sighs:: It is fine. I know it would be a lot to ask, so I understand.

[unsuremechanic]

Thanks for being so understanding. I hope you're able to get someone to help out... Again, I'm really sorry.

[lostforeigner]

::shakes his head:: No need to apologize, it is fine.

[doting_daddy]

... Winry's Al did that? I actually told Ed to expect something from his brother, since he seemed like he was up to something but... that makes no sense. ::frowns:: Have you had any luck finding your cat? I can put up flyers, if you want.

I hope your visit to the hospital's only a precaution... I'd volunteer to stay with Ed, but I'm not certain that I'd be able to. Work has been a little less forgiving than I'd hoped, and they might be asking me to pick up extra shifts to make up for the time I missed. ::sighs:: This is just... well, it's beyond me right now, really. But if there's anything else I could do to help...

[lostforeigner]

His brother? Hm. Well, actually, we did get Katrinelje back, ja, but danke. In fact, it was Edward's brother who had found her, and though of course he wanted to keep her, I managed to convince him to return her. Although now I have to find time to buy him a cake. ::weak chuckle::

Ahm, mostly, ja. I just want my back to heal as quickly as possible, and it really is quite a bit worse than my arm or Edward's leg. Still, I expect it should be fine after a couple days at the hospital. And that is alright if you cannot spend much time with him... I am sorry to hear you are so busy. If it is not too much to ask, would you be able to drop by briefly, though, with the pie Edward mentioned? He would really appreciate it, I am sure.

[doting_daddy]

Certainly. I feel bad enough that I haven't been able to make it over with the pie yet. ::small smile:: And I seem to owe his brother a cake, too. Maybe we could combine the effort. I'll get a bigger one, and deliver it on your behalf, too.

[lostforeigner]

Danke schön. That makes life much easier on me. ::smiles a little:: Good luck with your work.
