my friend and i were walking out in the snow andcold...and a conversation started with "wouldnt it be funny if..." and those never end well. at least not for the characters... - fireun


It was a stunningly perfect winter's day. The air was crisp, sky was sunny, and there was a dusting of that light, sparkling snow covering everything, making even the older snow pristine and beautiful.

Elric family luck was sure to intervene at any moment.

Al knew it.

It was not that he was a pessimist, but considering everything that had lead up to Al standing in a metal body on a cold day, playing in the snow with a toddler, something really was bound to happen. Sooner or later. He would have sighed, were that possible, but there was the problem of that metal body again. See? Bad luck.

He watched Nina dance about in the snow, chasing snowflakes with her tongue extended as far as she could manage, and couldn't help but laugh. Chasing snowflakes really was one of the most fun things to do in the winter, second only to snowball fights.

There appears to be one flake in particular that had the girls attention, for she had a determined crease across her forehead, eyes crossed to get a better view of her target which was, apparently just in front of her.

The wind shifted a bit, and she wobbled to the side, intent on the elusive bit of winter precipitation. A moment too late Al noticed the direction of her erratic path, and tried to move to the side.

Suits of armor are not generally known for being incredibly agile, or presenting small targets, which is most likely how Nina ended up with her tongue pressed firmly to Al's side. One would assume that she managed to catch her quarry, for a smile broke across her face, a smile that lasted as long as it took for her to realize her tongue was, most definitely firmly stuck to the frigid metal that made up Al's current body.

Elric luck.

"Brother? Can you come outside for a moment? We need some help…"
