Yesterday, I came to Briggs because the military called me and told me that Ed needed new automail. Now, Ed and I are in a room and I am fitting him with new automail which is meant for the weather in the north.
"You should have told me you were headed to the north." I say to Ed. "I didn't have a chance. We were in a hurry, okay?" Ed replies. "Yeah and when are you guys ever not in a hurry? Anyway what did you do to get locked up?" I hate it when they leave me out of things. When I arrived yesterday, Ed and Al were in a cell.
"It's only a misunderstanding, just a lack of communication. I'll have them released within no time at all." Mr.Kimblee says to me. "Thanks a lot." I say. smiles, looks at Ed and then back at me. "These two are lucky to have you watching out for them." I tell him. "It's nothing." He replies.
All of a sudden, Ed pulls the wrench that he is holding one end of. I look at him and he gestures for me to move closer to him, so I do. "Listen. I wouldn't trust Kimblee if I were you." "What why not? He seems nice." I say.
I think back to when brought me here. He asked about my parents dying and he said that he was part of the team that found their bodies. He said that he's sorry he couldn't save them. I thanked him for trying. He told me that he respects their bravery. He also said he wishes that he could have met them. He told me that my parents had a photo of me with them when they were found. He thinks that having that picture of me kept my parents strong. He also said that they were heroes and honored to meet me. I believe that he was truly kind when he said that to me, but I want to trust Ed too.
"Do you have any idea what that psychopath did Ishbal?" Ed says. Then his face changes all of a sudden. He looks sort of worried. He bursts off the table an jumps all over the room. Geez, what's gotten into him all of a sudden? I've never seen him act this crazy before.
"Hydrogen, helium..." He starts reciting the elements. "Uh, Ed?" I say. Ed continues reciting the elements. I sigh. "Why did I have to fall in love with such a weirdo?" I say. "Huh? Did you say something?" Ed asks. I realize that I said that out loud, oops. I think I should distract him by working on his automail. "No Ed I didn't say anything." I reconnect the nerve.
Ed yelps out in pain. "What the hell WInry! I told you to warn me before you connect this, alright!" He shouts at me. Good, he forgot about what I said. "Yeah now let's do your leg.
A few minutes later, Ed is testing out his automail when the northern automail mechanic asks me if I want to see his work. I tell him that I'd love to. "Hey." Ed says. I look at him. "What's wrong?" I ask. "Nothing. Try to keep on your toes and don't go off exploring, not on your own. It's not safe her, be careful alright?" I stare at him. He sounds really concerned for me. It's nice to feel that he seems to care for me as much as I care for him. "Okay I will be." I smile at him then leave the room.
