Ed's gone to the west to study, but this time he remembers to write his family. Old friends and new are found. Strange gadgets and different artifacts are sent back to and from Risembool and Xing. Important lessons are learned as Ed begins to slow down. *Post Brotherhood/manga, EdWin*

Winry,

I only went there for more oil, honest! When I asked for it the mechanic asked to see my automail. Mr. Bevans gawked like every other gearhead I've met and asked about my engineer. When I told him your name he jumped, apparently your great great great grandfathers were cousins. I told him about Granny and your apprenticeship in Rush Valley and he almost squealed like you do. That damn town's reputation's world-wide.

I beat him over the head for you when he asked if he could look inside. I don't want to die when I get back home. I bought these old limbs from him and he gave me the schematics and that book so you can see how the Cretans make automail. Mr. Bevans's hoping you'll return the favor: he's already put the money in your bank account.

It's probably late, but Happy Birthday.

Love,

Ed

"You idiot," Winry smiled as Granny spread the blueprints out on the table. "You're right on time for once."
