Enjoy.
The small boy had it rough the next couple of days finding this "new" life to be troubling and strange. The glances that he gained from people when his curiosity brought him wandering had frightened him the most. The glares usually accompanied a "silent" conversation as the boy passed by. And once he even got asked,"wow Al, I'm glad your finally back, I never knew it would be so quick." Back? Back from where exactly? He was so confused as to why these people kept such a steady watch on him; it almost seemed as though they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
And it was true.
Every single town's person had somehow caught wind of what had happened to the younger brother and were unsure what to think when they saw an Alphonse look a like. But how was a child new to this town supposed to figure such a thing? Go to the closest thing he knew, Edward of course.
It was quite a walk back to his temporary home, as Edward called it, and he collapsed before completely making it to the door. He continued dragging himself and standing up with the help of the door handle. The kid turned the handle and carefully snuck into the small house hoping to not be asked where he had been. But as if he had wished for it winry came bounding up wrench in fist and face slightly red. "And just where have you been all day Salem? You're filthy" she growled angrily. He just shuffled his feet head downward and whispered, "whose Alphonse?" Winry turned her head, rage seemingly forgotten, and began to walk away a golden stream of tears trailing after." If you really want to know ask Ed, he knows all the details," she mumbled. A door slammed and the distant sound of crying could be heard.
Salem just leaned back onto the couch and waited as he was instructed to. He just sat there twiddling his small fingers and closed his eyes hoping to catch Edward when he finally got back from his mission.
