          	"...Hey, guys."
          	
          	Edward smiled a little nervously, scratching his blond hair. Between studying Alchemy and Alkahestry and helping the other State Alchemists, he'd been swamped... And also terrible at response. 
          	
          	Aaaand he felt pretty bad about that.
          	
          	"Um... How are you both doing?"

@ThatTurtleAlchemist "Do you really want to bring that up with me? Rub it in my face why don't you hm? You may have saved the world for human kind, but what about us homunculi?"

"Here Lies Edward James Elric. Died of.. well who is to say? No one ever found the body. But I'm sure his last moments were painful nonetheless. Whether from exhaustion or from drowning, I'm sure the last thing he thought of was his friend's. His family. His brother. I wonder how they are doing without him. Sobbing in despair, or maybe trying to hold strong. I wonder if anyone will ever build anything in your honor now that he died."

@ThatTurtleAlchemist "hm... I suppose I have no complaints. It wouldn't hurt to keep you around... Although you would really want to own a Tank? Seriously? You do know it takes at least two people to operate one right? Well, I suppose you're small enough to fit in the hatch. I mean you? Firing a tank? You barely handle a gun inches away from your hands. So I guess, I'll have to volunteer if you actually want to use it as intended instead of running people over. I mean honestly, you could just do that with a car and save your money for something more practical. And besides, who said I was waiting for you? Like I said. It's not like I care about what happened to you or anything. You don't deserve a lot of things. Especially not some crummy funeral. You deserve... well. As much as I would like to see you buried in the dirt, I'm not done with you yet. So you better not go running off again without saying anything or I'll.... I'll.... I'll think of something. You're just not worth all my brain power right now. I mean really, leaving again? For weeks? Without any sign of you standing. You really are cruel making me wait and calling you off as dead. Humans really are the worst. But how many people can say they watched their own funeral hm? You're lucky I don't actually kill you for leaving me hanging...."

            "Well, if anyone has a right to, I guess it's you and Al. But I was hoping I could stick around for a little longer?"
            Ed smiles, tired, but real. His eyes scrunch up a little, like they can wall back the emotions and keep them locked tightly away.
            "Y'know, we could always use the funeral funding for something cooler. My vote goes to a tank, personally. And- listen...thanks. For um...for waiting for me. I know I don't deserve it, but you're still here."

@ThatTurtleAlchemist "...Ed?" The homunculus blinks as his voice wavers for a moment, emotions rollercoastering through his mind unable to pick just one to express. He waved off his initial surprise. "Nice of you to show up to your own funeral Pipsqueak. Do you know how expensive these are? You're paying for it. Although I'm not that cruel. I only got you a coffin the size of an ant so you should thank me for not spending all your money." He crossed his arms. "Don't feel so honored. You're a military dog. Of course, you get a funeral. I just- I- just shut up about it. I didn't do it because I missed you or anything so don't get any ideas. In fact, now that you're here, it would be a shame to put a good funeral to waste so why don't I just kill you myself?"

"Hey, Shortie i did the liberty of getting of icecream. No need to pay me back, I used your cash. Better hurry up and eat it before it melts, or I'll decide not to share anymore."

@ThatTurtleAlchemist "If I say yes would you let me eat it? No, you idiot. I didn't. Even if I did, it would just disappear since it's not attached to me anymore. Either way, you could have just said you didn't want it instead of insulting me and bawling your eyes out. What? Is it not good enough for you? Oh no! Envy is the absolute worst for getting me ice cream, how cruel. Humans usually respond with something along the lines of 'Thank you.' I mean really if I was going to do something to it, I would have poisoned it, or hid a knife inside so when you lick it it would cut your tongue open, but really that's too much of an effort for one small little cone, so really you SHOULD be thanking me since I didn't even bother to so such a thing when I could have. But since your expecting it maybe the next time I give something to you, I'll put a bomb in it. Would that be good enough for you? Would that make you happy-"

            "Envy, I–" 
            Edward pauses. Blinks. His golden eyes well up, and he scrubs them quickly- no way is he about to get emotional over ice cream, of all things. He takes the cone gingerly in a gloved hand, and though he can't decide whether to laugh or cry, he actually says-
            "Why, did you spit on it?"

@ThatTurtleAlchemist "Fingerprints? Well, every person has Fingerprints." He frowned. "Pride made sure I had gotten every single detail of a person that I possibly could. Including the things you don't see. Like organs and bones. Small hairs. Such and such. I'm sure someone with your intelligence could understand."

            "Well, pretty sure you'd get recognized. Unless you shapeshifted, and then I wouldn't have nearly as much evidence. Do your fingerprints change when you change your appearance? Do you even have fingerprints, or just like...scales?"
            
            (Oh no no! No need to be concerned hahaha. How have you been?)
