Some people have been here even two years longer than that, but -- it sure is a long time. [Especially because Ed and Al haven't been around for most of that time.]

He ...might have said something here and there. [It's a mystery! No, it's not, but let's tell it slowly

... and definitely not going to ask about the last thing he remembers here... nope! Instead she'll be all smiles and sunshine here.]

I can try to explain anything, if you have any questions.

They are, and there are hundreds of them. Well, the ones who eat metal aren't really my friends or -- some others either, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be adorable in others' opinion.

[Eevee will be happy to get any attention. Wait, it's always just happy about every positive thing anyway, no real change there.]

I'm sure they would.

Hughes asks all of the important questions orz

[father_of_the_year]

[Hughes nods, quietly taking note of the 'he' and assuming it to mean Edward. While he doubted that Fullmetal would be unlikely to share a lot of information with Winry, it does actually make a stupid amount of sense when you think about the kind of high stakes stuff he was getting involved in at the time. Any information withheld from the mechanic was likely for her safety.]

I appreciate that, thank you.

[He offers a warm smile at that.

The comment about there being hundreds of the cute critters was interesting, though. The part about some eating metal was a little unnerving, however.]

..There are some that eat metal? How would you even keep them fed?

it is important, esp for Ed whenever he doesn't want a pokemon that will enrage Winry 8D

[usedwrench]

[She offers a warm smile right back at him. Really, it is the least she can do.

...oh, wait, if they're going to talk about those metal eaters, then ... see, that smile going away but actually she looks pretty thoughtful at that second question.]

There are. I've seen some eating automail and well, their type is mostly steel so I guess that would explain why they need to eat different metals. They can dig it from the ground, especially in mountains and caves, if they're wild and local shops that are all about pokemon food and other stuff for pokemon sell us things that we can feed to them. ...Come to think of it, I should buy a roomful of that stuff before Ed gets one of those.

[I THINK]

[father_of_the_year]

[He blinks thoughtfully. The fact that they are Steel-types does make sense. They probably wind up digesting the metal in such a way that it directly feeds into how they're made up? Maybe?

It was interesting, though. Some of these creatures eat metal but you can buy food for them! Check!

The mention of "before Ed gets one of those" causes him to raise an eyebrow, though.]

Ed's planning to get one, even though it might try to eat his automail?

[A beat.]

Wait, Ed's here too?

[usedwrench]

They're what he calls cool and badass pokemon, so yes? ...Not that -- A lot's happened to him, he... doesn't have that automail arm anymore, so as long as they don't find the leg. Which probably wouldn't take them a long time, but --

[Wait, there was the other question too!]

Yes, he is! Here, here even, I kind of lost him right before I found you when he just rushed off... somewhere.

[at least she hopes it's that and not Ed disappearing from the whole world again.]
