Winry? I'm going to need you to take a look at my arm. -=He sounds tired. The frantic frustrated screaming all week long has made him hoarse as well.=-

At least, I think it's safe to deal with it now.

...what'd you do this time? [not her usual loud yelling. She's still disturbed by the past week and she doesn't miss the exhaustion in his voice]

[Winry fishes for some of her tools. Not quite as expansive or sturdy as the ones back home, but in this place you take what you get. She takes her place next to him and takes his automail arm into his heads, examining it for damages, now completely going into work mode]

-=He'll be completely quiet now. The only thing on his torso now is the leather cord with the green stoned ring around his neck. He's so used to getting worked on that he doesn't even thing about hiding the ring as he closes his eyes to wait.=-

[Winry is so caught up in her work that she doesn't notice it right away but after a few minutes when she goes to reach for another tool it catches her eye. Huh.]

What's that?

What's what? -=He was zoning, so he's not up to gear, yet.=-

The [she indicated around her own neck] neckla--[no it was just a cord, now that she looked more closely, attached to it was] that ring.

You have...a girlfriend? [Winry's not quite sure how to react to this] You never mentioned her before.

[saintedsinner]

Had. Have.

...

I don't know anymore. -=Shrugs, trying to play it down.=- Tried not to think about it much after she was sent home.

[endthiscycle]

[She can see how much its affecting him either way] I'm sorry...

[She's not really sure what to say in a situation like this, so she idly goes back to work on his arm] Was she someone from home?

offline

[saintedsinner]

....Yeah. -=Why the hell is it so friggin hard to admit it, Ed? WHY? Because Riza's talk about 'what a ring meant to a girl' talk when he made it for Winry's birthday is still running in his head!=-

[endthiscycle]

[tries to sound cheery] Well at least she will be there if you are sent home. Or who knows, she might end up here again.

[saintedsinner]

-=Sulks even more at that.=-

Yeah.

[ahh, that didn't make anything better, did it? She half wonders if she should just drop the subject but of course she can't bog down her curiosity] Is it someone I know?
