Of course, Edward's own mind was nothing but heartbreakingly literal. Of course he had meant "made", in the realest sense possible. He meant from scratch, and as it was fairly obvious he wasn't human or very experienced in the ways of the world, the revelation was surprising for most people but not overly shocking. "Yes. I am a man," Edward said, a hint of pride to his voice. But his voice fell, even softer, before adding, "But I'm not finished."
As usual, Edward didn't notice staring, since he was used to it from his time in Suburbia. However, he looked when Tonks tripped, flailing slightly and almost reaching out to help her. He thankfully withdrew, however, knowing by now what would happen if he actually reached out to support someone falling.
