I hope you're planning on taking a break every now and then.

[armoredbrother.livejournal.com]

Um, of course... [even though he wasn't, really]

[probably-always.livejournal.com]

I'm sure. *oh, she knows. Elric brothers, you are so predictable*

What are you working on, anyway?

[armoredbrother.livejournal.com]

Just something Ed left notes on. He never figured it out entirely, so I thought...

[probably-always.livejournal.com]

... So you thought you'd finish it? *she leans over his shoulder to see, but doesn't get much from looking at the pages*

[armoredbrother.livejournal.com]

Well, I thought- just in case he does come back...

[probably-always.livejournal.com]

He'll come back, Al. He always comes back. And when he does, he'll be glad you helped him get farther on this.

... What is it, anyway?

[armoredbrother.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm still not sure if it's really going to work- but it's this... [trying to simplify things for Winry] substance that can dissolve anything. Nobody's ever been able to figure out the formula, though.

[probably-always.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Maybe if you contacted Miss Izumi, she could help you on it? If you want help, I mean. Obviously I won't be able to do much good with that.

[armoredbrother.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't want to bother her too much, though... I'm sure she has other things to deal with.

[probably-always.livejournal.com]

Al, you know she'd like to hear from you. But if you really don't want to, I'm sure you could figure it out on your own, even if it will take longer that way.

[armoredbrother.livejournal.com]

She does hear from me, I just- don't want to cause her any more trouble.

[probably-always.livejournal.com]

*sighs and pats his arm* I guess you'll just have to teach me alchemy so I can help you, then.
