After everyone's finished eating, the Als left to go talk outside and leave their brothers alone for their own conversation.

Ed stays put in his seat at the table, unsure if he should stay or if he could move to his usual seat by the window.

	Edward stood up and stretched. "Hey, why don't we go sit somewhere more comfortable? Get you some more sun. And me, for that matter." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"All right," Ed says. It doesn't take him long to reclaim his preferred chair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Edward settled in on the couch, legs curled up against his chest. "I know our brothers are hoping we'll spill our guts to each other, but if you'd rather not say anything, that's fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Someone was nice enough in town to actually give us a place to stay- he was an old friend of Nash Tringham, the guy who'd discovered the red water Russell and Fletcher were working with. When it crystallized, it created a stone similar to the red stones, but it was weaker, and the water was highly toxic. In fact, it was killing the town- everyone was coming down with red water sickness."

He continued telling the story, which the mun is fuzzy on, because it's been awhile since she saw those episodes, so she's shortcutting.

"I've never seen trees turn red, then blue before," he said, finishing off the tale. "But those brothers managed to soak up all the poison before it could overrun my wall and hit town. Russell and Fletcher decided to help the land with their botany to restore its fertility to make up for what they'd done. They live with Winry now. Russell and Sheska both married her. Russell decided to name his daughter after my deceased wife after I told him about her and the baby. He's a good sort, although I don't leave Central to see him often. I should go visit more often." He looked thoughtful.

	Edward unfolds his legs to stretch briefly, then crosses them underneath him, nervously worrying his lower lip before speaking. "The gates said 'arbeit macht frei'. Work makes freedom.

"We continued peacefully that way for awhile. The she came to me about having a baby. Or at least trying for one. A baby wouldn't really fit in our plans to get through the border, but she was getting helpful suggestions from local women, and an offer by the local lady doctor to see if something was wrong. She was afraid they'd find out she was a virgin, which would expose our marriage as a sham."

He shrugged, looking down. "She eventually got pregnant and spent the entire pregnancy trying to abort and failing."
