[alkahestrykunais]

[May had crashed down from the ceiling after being chased by Envy, so she really didn't expect to end up within the leaves of a forest. Her first thought intentionally being 'I'm safe' with the second coming to a realization that this was.. not where she should be.

Cue the loud 'wah' of confusion. Getting up, she grasps the journal tossing it aside turning on the video function for anyone to see her flailing about.]

W-where am I? I.. This.. can't be Central! [Did she get knocked out and transported somewhere. Something bright behind her catches her eye causing her to turn around and see the wings.]

WINGS? I have wings...? [A beat pauses as she stares at them until a spot beside her moves catching her attention.]

Xiao-Mei! I'm glad I found you! [Cue snuggling with the small panda.] Did we die? If we were dead, you'd have wings too.. right?

[With May seeing the journal and picking it up, the feed clicks off.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[May gives a slight frown.]

I'm finished, are you going to come down now?

[avaricious]

[He casually hops down beside her.]

So, where to next? You have your panda, clothes, and weapons. Are you missing anything else?

[alkahestrykunais]

[Panda, clothes and weapons, nope that was all she needed.]

This is everything I traveled to Amestris with. So, the next stop would be [tentatively] your home?

[avaricious]

[He looks thoughtful for a moment before nodding.]

I suppose it is. It's not far from here. [He'll take off, looking fairly pleased.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[May blinks before heading over to his side; glancing up at him while she walks.]

There are quite a few people from our world here, isn't there?

[avaricious]

There is. Many of them just left. But presently, there are the two of us, Ran Fan and Greed, Ed and Winry, as well as an Amestrian woman and her daughter. I don't know if you've met them though. Gracia and Elicia Hughes.

[He knows he certainly hadn't. But then, she met Winry. So who knows?]

[alkahestrykunais]

[As Ling goes on, the deeper the frown on her face gets.]

No, I've never heard of them before.

[automailed]

[Awesome, Xingese truce acquired. He wasn't expecting to start fighting with her, of course, but... well, better safe than bruised. Plus she's the resident expert of the information he's been looking for, so-]

Good to hear. Hey, May, can I ask a favour? Once you're settled and everything, obviously.

[avaricious]

And Envy. He's been keeping quiet though.

[Wherever the hell he is, anyway.]

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

[A favor? After a beat of thinking she nods.]

Once I'm settled in, you can ask me any favor.

[alkahestrykunais]

I spoke with him earlier. [and hated every single second of it.] Maybe he can't think of any tricks to play.

[ video ]

[allseeingdeath]

Mhm.

...If you need any help, or anything. Just ask.

[avaricious]

He has no backup. And our abilities limit the effectiveness of his abilities. He's too cowardly to act. For now.

[ video ]

[alkahestrykunais]

Thank you, I'll be sure too.

[alkahestrykunais]

Greed is a homunculus too, are you sure that they won't join sides?

[She slightly doubts it, but having not being close to Greed or known him it's a legit question.]

[video]

[automailed]

Until then, give it some thought: I want to learn alkahestry.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

[Learn alkahestry? Well, that was the reason that he followed her to Xing if she remembers it correctly.]

Are you sure, Edward-sama. It's fairly different from alchemy.

[avaricious]

No. Greed did his part in the final battle to defeat his father, at the expense of his own life. He has no loyalties to his brother.

[Expense of his own life. Hard words to say. It's like admitting the death of a brother.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[Right, Greed had told her that before.]

He's a close ally of yours, isn't he?

[video]

[automailed]

I know. Hohenheim was here before, and I started to learn from him, but we didn't get far. I want to keep it up, but I don't really understand a lot of the symbolism of the Xingese texts I found. Ling's been useful, but for the rest I think I need a real practitioner.

[avaricious]

He's someone who will never lie. That's all that really matters.

[alkahestrykunais]

[Never lie, huh?]

That's reassuring than, you know he won't trick you.

[video]

[alkahestrykunais]

[ooc: Oh goodness, let's just say that says Briggs up above. How did I not catch that.]

I don't know who Honhenheim is, but he must have much knowledge of alkahestry if he can teach it. [She bits her lip slightly at Ling's name. Obviously not comferable with hearing anything about him at the moment.] It must be fairly convenient that I arrived here than.

[avaricious]

[Except once. Just once.]

It's not easy to find that kind of honesty. Especially for people like us.

[There's always someone ready to screw over Xingese royalty. Usually their siblings.]

[godbent]

Oh... kay did you or did you not get the guide from someone else yet? I need to know how basic I have to go.
