"The theif distri----- ED! EDWARD ELRIC GET THE HELL BACK HEEEEERE!" Paige screeched running after him. As if purposely doing so, her suitcase was thrown in the air and landed on... Ruryn's head.
"OW!"
And as Ruryn was moping and rubbing his head, Elliot stared as Paige ran off. "And...why does se care about the guy so much? He's a state alchemist...he should have money, and should know how to fight...the theives won't be much."
"...and this is coming from the guy who yelled at me for straying into the theif district? Wha--? Do I hear some... jealousy?" Ruryn smirked, mocking the raven haired boy.
An instant blush ran over the boy's cheeks. His complexion was rather pale, despite the time he spent in the sun. "No...State Alchemists can take care of themselves. You can't."
"Ouch..that hurt." Ruryn sighed. "Well, care to go see what that blonde's going to get himself into?"
"Be my guest."
"ED! EEEEEEED! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!" Paige growled as it was obvious that the Fullmetal Alchemist was ignoring her. "YOU LITTLE SHORTSTOP, GET OVER HERE NOW!"
And that was when Edward stopped walking..
"AHHH! YOU BASTARD! I'M NOT SHORT! I'M PROBABLY SMARTER AND MORE TALENTED THAN YOU'LL EVER BE! YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING PIECE OF--"
"Brother!"
Ruryn and Elliot had caught up during Ed's rambling, or rather screaming. And both were staring behind him.
Paige jabbed him in the ribs. "Uh, Commander...Don't turn around...or rather... don't look up."
Regardless of what Paige said, of course Ed turned around, not willing to look up at another person.
"Wha---" Instead, he was stuck looking up at another someone... Whether he liked it or not, for the man stood at least two times taller than Elliot.
"Well look what the cat dragged in! What're you doin' in our territory?" A younger man grinned a sinister grin. He couldn't be much older than Ed, and next to the big man, he looked puny, but nonetheless, Ed was pissed off.
