Edward seemed to have decide that the words. "I am not happy" were to become his motto and was irritably glaring at the floor. In what most people termed a sulk but he named thinking with a less then pleasant look on his face. Also the words that Mustang had shouted into his ear hole a good hundred times "Don't punch the fucking guards! Or kick them don't kick them. Or bite them, don't bite them, don't knee them. Just don't hurt them. No matter what they say, even if the call you short. And we argue about that when you comeback okay, if you hurt them you'll ruin everything. And stop giving me that teenaged attitude." were rolling around his head, he was still not a hundred percent he wished to follow that titbit of advice. He couldn't understand Al's seeming hatred for him, he hadn't abandoned him at all. He tried to run around to get to his brother, slipped down the hill and when he got up and back up that hill Al and the men had gone. He wasn't sure how they vanished so quickly but given his slightly foggy head he suspected he had taken some time getting up the hill feeling as dazed as he did.

Damn the bastard who had beaten his brother. Nobody but Edward could beat up Al. It was his right as an older brother. He shuddered slightly, and that thing was common place. To think these people lock up the children of alchemist because they thought alchemy was evil and against God. The greatest science ever is evil but a child can have its face caved in because of their parentage. And these beds how did they ever sleep on something so small. He bounced lightly he was slim he knew that and his slender body was painfully near the edges. Not to mention it was the same length as him, his head touching the metal frame and his heels tapping the opposite side of the frame. And he wasn't small but some people were tall…really tall, unlike him who was normal height, so how would they fit?

The room was frigid too and he could feel the slowly dropping temperature, which couldn't be good for Al with his mangled face. Maybe he would try and sleep on the floor so Al could get comfy on the bed. Lowering his hand to the floor made him decide to see Al's condition first.

Al was returned by a smirking guard a short while later. He didn't seem to notice his brother and just laid down on the bed. Ed moved for him, and watched fall asleep. He wasn't certain that Al should be sleeping, he was sure it was best for people with head trauma to stay awake.

Ed moved around so he was shielded from the door by his back and pressed his fingers together and focussed. His father had taught him how to perform alchemy without a circle, it took a little more focus then it did with an array but it was much more helpful it situations like this. He could help speed up the healing process but not much, but Al needed to be better soon, it would be pointless if he did all this and Al got caught.

He touched Al's face the light flash for a second but didn't make too much noise and that was drowned out by the persistent banging a few doors down. Al woke from the light fizzing but fell back to sleep before he registered the odd sensation.

Ed lay back and closed his eyes, he was exhausted, it had been one hell of a first day. He settled himself further down a struggled to pull the blanket from under him and Al. It would have been easier if he had stood on the floor, but he valued his feet and didn't want to lose them too frost bite. He glanced at Al's face, he believed there was some improvement, perhaps punching Hoemhiem had been a little hasty if he ever saw him again he'd thank him for teaching him alchemy without an array.

Straight after he hit him for leaving again. He smiled and glanced at his brother, perhaps they both had abandonment issues, that might explain Al's attitude.

He tried unsuccessfully for several hours to get too sleep, but finally the guards dragged the kid making all the noise away, and in his fatigue he was glad the kid was going to be beaten.
