The best part of waking up....
Sloth was the first up, which stood to reason, as she'd never really gone to bed. She stayed up all night, knitting needles clacking away quietly as she worked on a new blanket for Alphonse's bed.

In the bedroom, she heard Roy's alarm clock go off, telling her to get up and start breakfast. She went to the kitchen to figure out what she could make with what they had.

	Edward stares at her, a bit slack-jawed. "At twelve? Jesus Christ and Mary with lube, what the fucking hell? Who would do that to a twelve-year-old and why?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He... the Fuhrer assigned him to General Grand, who in turn assigned him to Lieutenant Colonel Archer for training," she whispered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Edward has to drop his feet to the floor and lean forward to hear her. "Archer? ... I am not surprised. That bastard was a scum bucket even in my world." He sits back with a sigh. "And in turn, he did something bad to you for your 'insubordination'?" He's not dense, Riza. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She recoiled a bit, more of a flinch. "I- he- he didn't mean to. He didn't- he was- the safety was on. He had the safety on the whole time. He- he never meant to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Edward holds up his hands, trying to calm her down. "It's okay, it's okay, Riza. I'm sure he didn't. If he's anything like me, he's more bluster than anything else. Is that why you're afraid of me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a_long_look 2011-06-06 07:10 am UTC (link)
	She flinched. "I- I j- just don't want... to upset you. That's all. I'm- I'm not sure what's okay and- and what's not." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Riza? You won't upset me, and if you do, I won't do anything to you. I'm not as broken as my alternate. The worst I'll do is grump in your general direction." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She frowned a bit at that, a surge of protectiveness giving her a bit of spine. "He's not. Not as much as you'd think. He- he does care about me. He never wanted to hurt me, but I didn't know he was bluffing and I made it all worse." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermans_dead 2011-06-06 07:33 am UTC (link)
	"I never said he didn't care, Riza. I just said I wasn't like him and I wasn't going to hurt you. So you don't need to be afraid of me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	a_long_look 2011-06-09 07:24 am UTC (link)
	Riza swallowed hard and nodded. "I- I'm... I'm not afraid, I just... don't want to risk- risk making you angry. That's all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	supermans_dead 2011-06-09 07:33 am UTC (link)
	"Why are you worried about making me angry, though?" he asks, trying to reason with her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Be- because that... that means I've... stepped out of line." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And if you have? So what? We're civies. What does it matter if you 'step out of line'?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That made her stop, frowning a bit as she thought about what he said. There really wasn't a reason to be nervous, to be so gun-shy. Logically, everything he said made sense, but it didn't quite quell the feelings. She bit her lip, the frown deepening in frustration and self-annoyance.

"I'm sorry. You're right. I'm sorry. It doesn't make any sense. I'm sorry."

"It takes awhile to get your fears to get the message though, doesn't it?" Edward says, entirely sympathetically. "I know what it's like. I've been killed, and I still get nervous when faced with my murderer, although he kinda gives reason for it. But my older brother has his face, and it took me awhile at first when we first met him to stop being nervous around him."

	That made her look up quickly, eyes wide, eyebrows rising. "You... are you a homunculus?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Edward shakes his head. "My soul hadn't dissolved into the All yet, when my brother healed my body and reattached my soul," he explains. "He had the Stone at the time I was killed. So I'm human." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh," she whispered, and nodded. "I see." She sat still, looking at the floor as she assimilated that information. "I'm sorry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
