Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Rrrg. Who you calling a pint-sized minnow you jerk?! To think I came all this way to talk to YOU of all people!"

That voice wasn't far away, Edward having come up from somewhere behind Roy as he practiced his pyrotechnics. Burning golden eyes glaring at Roy as the fullmetal alchemist stood amongst some nearby bushes. He'd been looking for Roy for some time now, and finally managed to track him down. However, aside from the childish anger.. there was a certain determinatin in Ed's eyes.

If it wasn't for the fact that Roy was possibly the only one he knew that could answer his questions... aside from Envy and there was no way in hell he was going to approach that b*****d.

Growling under his breath, Edward lifted his clenched automail paw. "That guy really loves to piss me off!" he muttered. But in all truth... Roy seemed to be acting like his old self... which was better than how he was acting before. Speaking of which...

Edward approached Roy, glowering at his back. "I have some questions to ask you" he said bluntly. The fullmetal coming up along side the flame. "But first thing's first..." And then a paw was swung at Roy's face with obvious intention to sock him in the jaw.

As Roy lifted his paw, Edward's fist stopped mere inches from Roy's face. The teen frowning deeply... his expression just daring Roy to set him on fire. After a moment though, Ed smirked and sat back, lowering his paw to the ground. "Heh... As much as you deserve getting clobbered... and I can't believe I'm saying this... its good to have the old Mustang back." He then rolled his eyes, disbelieving at his own words. "After all the hell you put me through." However, not all was forgiven and forgotten... which was easily read by Edward's newly fixed glare on Roy.

A snort and a growl, Ed's ears flattening against his head at the continued jabs about his height. But well.. that was Roy for you, but that didn't mean it didn't piss him off. "Yep... the same old b*****d..." he muttered.

An ear flicked and Edward's scowl didn't recede until a few moments later. The fullmetal looking serious as the nature of his question was brought up. All things aside.. this is what he had come to speak to Roy about. "How much do you remember?" he asked in an even tone, his gaze never leaving Roy's for an moment. This was a serious matter.

Edward's frown deepend as Roy mentioned that he was able to block out most of his bad memories. He was a lucky b*****d too it seemed. However, Ed's gaze finally turned downward.

"My memories have been coming back to me in the form of dreams. The other day, I saw my own death." He paused, this seeming to be an uneasy subject for the fullmetal, but he soon continued. He knew that Roy hadn't been there that day... nor he probably didn't know that he had fought Envy and Dante. But still... perhaps he would know... "What happened to Alphonse?" Edward had been unable to save, and that fact had been gnawing at him... wondering if his own brother had been used as a tool for Dante's plans or if by some miracle.. he managed to get away. Would Roy even know? He was likely about to find out.

Roy had no one? That was hardly true... unless Kaoru and Roy had split for good. Who knew.... certainly not him, Edward wasn't even thinking of such things at the moment."

"Oh" was his only reply to Mustang's words. The teen looking a bit crestfallen at the news that Roy had no idea what had happened, nor of Al. He sighed, getting to his paws. That's all he'd come to ask for after all.. and Ed wasn't about to pry into whatever memories Roy did have. His question had been answered, although not in the way he had hoped. He would be leaving with no more answers than he had arrived with.

His pain was none of Roy's damn business as far as he was concerned. However, Ed did blink once... and look back to Roy as he said that he'd heard of Al being alive. Armstrong eh? Heh... easier said than done, that. Although he wasn't even sure if he wanted to see that Herculean giant again who always squashed him in the most awkward, bone crushing hugs.

He looked like he might have said something... but stopped when Roy approached and dropped a paw on his head, ruffling his hair. Growling yet again, Ed lifted his paw to swat Roy's away. "Yeah right!" he snapped, eyes ablaze once more, "You were never 'there' for me before, like hell you'd start now! Go to hell." With that, Edward turned and proceed to stomp off.
