[The hollow echo was unexpected to say the least. But in the end, it wasn't really any of her business and they were supposed to be focusing on something else.]

That's not a bad start, but not thinking might not be the best way to go about it.

[armorbound]

Probably... I mean I haven't had any luck since I started a few weeks ago. It's just ... it's -

[How is he supposed to explain this without explaining everything?]

Methods that everyone else seem to use don't work for me.

[Vague, but he guess it's a good start.]

[blue_wayfinder]

Do you have any idea why?

[armorbound]

Well...

[It's clear he's waffling on the real reason.]

It's complicated?

[blue_wayfinder]

["It's complicated" was an answer she'd given before, so she could sympathize.]

If you don't want to talk about it, that's all right, but it might help me figure out a way to help you if you'd tell me at least a little.

[armorbound]

Well ...

[He starts to explain voice wavering as his head and attention returns to the smaller dog resting it's head in his lap.]

It's not that I don't want to talk about. I just ... made a promise and it's not you! I mean - back home only a small handful of people knew what was wrong too!

[This is what makes this even harder, Alphonse is usually a good judge of character and trusting.]

[blue_wayfinder]

[Ah.]

I understand. There's something like that for me too. [Except it's not really something that was wrong with her per se...] For me it wasn't any kind of problem so much a secret I'm supposed to keep.

[armorbound]

Brother said it'd be best if no one here knew so it's a little bit of both.

[At least he sounds like he's doing his best to reassuring Aqua in the absence of being able to smile at her.]

[blue_wayfinder]

Then I guess we'll just have to keep trying different ways until we find one that works.

[Her smile came easily. She really didn't mind doing things like this.]

Was there any kind of weapon you used back in your world?

[armorbound]

That'd be nice.

[The smile helps, he just wishes he could return it.]

Not really... I was taught to fight with my body and hands.

[blue_wayfinder]

I see. [Hm...] What about the people close to you?

[armorbound]

The same really... I know someone who fights with fire and guns. I was always taught that weapons of war were bad.

[Not to mention he's not entirely keen on the idea of fighting and Aqua will be able to assume such easily by the tone in his voice.]

Brother used to manipulate his automail though, he'd fashion a blade from the outer panel. [He laughs more fondly now as he bows his head.] Winry always used to yell at him over it.

[blue_wayfinder]

Weapons can be bad when they're in the wrong hands, but in the right hands, they can be used to protect others. [Like the difference between Xehanort who used his Keyblade to hurt others and her own Master who had protected them.

She looked curious at the unfamiliar word.]

Automail?
