[sjdfkl he didn't mean to make her worry - but he can't argue any of that, so he crosses his arms and leans back on his pillows.]

How was the mission?

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

[Al sighs, suitably distracted.]

The woman was found and everyone made it back alive, so I'd say it went a lot better than it could've.

[He starts to add something else and then just averts his gaze, clearly troubled.]

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[Al's wording by itself pings Ed, but the way he's acting tells him that something's definitely up]

What happened?

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

It... Everyone always talks about how we're fighting a war here, but this is the first time there's really been a battle like this. Both sides were trying as hard as they could to kill each other.

[And this is only the beginning; a small skirmish where they'd gotten off relatively easy and barely had to face any witches. What does it say for how the rest of this is going to go?]

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[He really hates that Al had to go into that alone, partner or no]

...Yeah.

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

At least back home we had a goal, we knew what we had to do. Here... Are we really supposed to just keep fighting like this until enough of the witches are gone?

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[It was never supposed to be like this, but was anything? There was a reason he'd always said no when Al suggested getting licensed, and it wasn't just because of what the Colonel had said. Human weapon. There was too much of a risk that, well - something like this would happen.

He reaches out, resting a hand on the armor.]

Sorry you had to do that alone, Al.

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

[It makes Al feel a lot better just to know that Ed understands; part of what's troubling him is how eager many of the other new arrivals are to throw themselves full force into a war that isn't even their own.

He looks up after Ed speaks, forcing the sadness from his voice.]

It's okay. I wasn't alone. Badou helped a lot--his weapon form has the ability to knock the kishin eggs out without really hurting them.

...I'm just not sure what we're going to do next. It really feels like we're in way over our heads here.

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

He does? [Al had said that his 'artillery' was different, but this is a lot more different than he'd been expecting.] I guess there really might be something to this resonation thing.

[because could that really be coincidence?

At the last part Al says, he smacks the armor gently, letting his hand drop]

So, we'll figure it out.

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

[Al nods. It's not going to be that simple, but they still have to try, don't they?]

Yeah... Thanks.

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

[He nods.]

I'll be there with you next time.

[With complete conviction.]

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

[It would have only been worse with both of them there, but Al knows better than to outright argue. He'd never consent to sitting out either.]

I'm actually glad you stayed behind. ...Not that things ended up being that much safer here in the city.

[brbjourneying.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[He's not so much thinking of the frogs as he is the witch, that Crane escaped - and, again, that everything they'd be fighting had just been a decoy.]

The frogs were mostly just annoying.
