@xX_FULLMETAL_Xx it's not gonna be much a bother if you only do a little bit..
[ shaking his head. ]
you can relearn all those things, can't you? besides, this isn't really how you catch a butterfly..
@xX_FULLMETAL_Xx i'm not a fairy tale princess..! 💧
[ looking up at the birds with a sort of pity before back to the butterflies. ]
i mean, it's worth a shot?
@xX_FULLMETAL_Xx 💧
[ the birds on his helmet fly away at his brother's yelling. ]
so it was no use at all.. well, it's okay, brother! i'm sure one could land on you without having to try some other time.
@xX_FULLMETAL_Xx uh-huh..?
[ alphonse stays dead still, staring at his hand and the butterflies.
a sparrow lands on his armor's horn. wonder when that butterfly's gonna come down. ]
@xX_FULLMETAL_Xx (can you? 💧)
[ he thinks, and it's not to demean him— more that he's obviously turned competitive just now. ]
um.. brother, i don't think you're supposed to move.
@xX_FULLMETAL_Xx stop making it sound even worse...! 💧
[ hard to look forward to now. al lets his hand drop to his side. ]
um, i don't really know.. maybe because i was still?
@xX_FULLMETAL_Xx d-don't say that.. i'm sure they're not that bad!
[ it's scary because he's for sure going to do this soon as he gets a glimpse of him. al follows suit, reaching a steady hand out, and a butterfly lands on his finger. ]
..!
[ it flies off a second after. ]
@xX_FULLMETAL_Xx what i'm looking forward to the most? hmm...
[ thinking long and hard, but it's a quick conclusion. alphonse thumps his fist into one open hand, looking back to ed. human faced or not, his grin is obvious. ]
warmth. and people! those come in a package.
@xX_FULLMETAL_Xx 'course, since you were always preoccupied with those big beetles.
[ al looks to their front, to where the other butterflies are still roaming around. ]
the list gets longer, huh? it's almost weird to think that all of these things will become normal to me after i get it back.
