[#16] Exhausted

[wontjustwait]

[ immediately after getting back, Winry ran around town a bit just to assure herself that it was all there and back sure people were okay. Though it didn't take long for her exhaustion to catch up with her, and inspire her to go home and finish up with the phone. Besides, she was sure they'd be out checking up on people too. ]

Hey, Envy! Call me

[Ling's doing better than Al, but he's certainly not in good shape mentally at the moment. He can manage to sound hopeful, though!]

Bake something, you say?

[wontjustwait]

[ Winry snaps awake, because she's been waiting so anxiously to hear from Ling. See look, one more reason to be happy. She sighs and puts on a cheerful voice. ]

Y..yeah! Bake anything you want... You must be hungry, huh?

[onyourtab]

[She might notice now that he doesn't sound quite as energetic as he normally does.]

Ha ha, yes! I don't know how long it's been since I last ate...

[wontjustwait]

[ she definitely does. ]

... Great then. I'll come to your place, okay? Can you wait a few minutes?

[wontjustwait]

Ah...

[ Winry wipes her tears and swallows hard before picking up the phone. ] Good, I'm glad to hear you're okay... Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired.

[kunaitotheface]

I am alive.

[wontjustwait]

That's good to hear... How're you holding up? [ she knows Ling dying must have been pretty hard on her. ]

[kunaitotheface]

... [Just. Repeats what she just said, only with a bit more weariness.] I am alive.

[wontjustwait]

Mm... right...

Hey, I was thinking I might make Lin something for supper. Would you want to help?

[braided_icarus]

[And yes, he does hear the others are back and hightails it to Al's, not even bothering to respond but after visiting Al, he manages to leave a message of sorts.]

He's back.....Finally....he has to come right, eventually...

[wontjustwait]

Ed...

Hold on. Whose house are you at? [ tired as she may be, Winry picks herself up so that she can go off and find him. ]

[braided_icarus]

Mine. Down Beaver Street, just got back from seeing Al at his. I figured I should stay home the night and head over in the morning with some spare clothes for a couple days then to see how he's managing.

[wontjustwait]

Right...

Did Al seem... any better when you visited?

[covets_humanity]

For the love of--what do you WANT, woman?!

[wontjustwait]

I'm just checking if you're okay! Geez, could you be any ruder? I was worried, you idiot!
