[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.]

Comments

[avaricious]

You can go ahead and take those. It's all free anyway. [It's a fine distraction from. Well. What he does in his spare time. Which is basically stalk people he knows.] As for what I do, I haven't quite found anything yet.

[alkahestrykunais]

[Oh, if that's the case don't mind if she does, she doesn't have anywhere to put them wherever she puts them so she'll just carry them.]

It looks as if you've been here awhile though.

[avaricious]

[Well, she's loaded! Time to start making their way out.]

An entire year so far. It surprises me sometimes to realize it.

[alkahestrykunais]

[Now that she had gotten her weapons, what else did she have to get. Her own clothes were one thing.]

I thought you looked much older than when I last saw you.

[avaricious]

I don't look too different, do I? I have a hard enough time convincing people of my age.

[alkahestrykunais]

[hrm...]

I can notice the difference though I haven't had much of a straight confrontation with you. You're sixteen aren't you... no, seventeen.[It has to be one of those two. She's only heard people speak of his age back in Xing.]

[avaricious]

Seventeen, thanks to this place. I was still fifteen when I first arrived in Amestris. [Alas, no one believed him!]

[alkahestrykunais]

No one believed that you were fifteen than? [It's amazing how different their heights are despite coming from the same father.]

[avaricious]

[They make them big in the Yao clan!!]

Not even when I was thrown in prison as an illegal alien. It was terrible.

[alkahestrykunais]

[That and really same in the Chang Clan, even their pandas are small..]

[...yeah, May didn't know that you had gotten tossed in jail, so she's giggling.]

I'm surprised that they managed to arrest you. How did you escape?

[avaricious]

I escaped with the help of a serial killer trapped in a suit of armor. He was breaking someone else out.

[So nonchalantly. It was just Barry!]

[alkahestrykunais]

[May can't exactly say anything, she's best friends with a serial killer and has a crush on a suit of armor.]

What were your bodyguards doing at this time?

[avaricious]

I suppose they were looking for me. We managed to get separated.

[In other words, Ling wandered off while they weren't looking.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[She's guessing this was before she saw you in Father's lair.]

I assume you signaled them once you escaped. [a beat] Maybe I should go collect my clothing now.

[avaricious]

I did. [When they're outside the smithy, Ling points at the clothing store.] You should be able to find your stuff there.

[He'll assume that she can at least handle alone, though.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[Oh, that's convenient. May will give him a small glance as if saying 'will you be here when i get back' before moving towards the store. Honestly, she was still having slight mingled feeling of whether or not she wanted to be near him; but it certainly seemed better than being alone.]

It's amazing that your bodyguards manage to keep finding you.

[With that, she'll head in to get her clothes.]

[avaricious]

[He shows no intention of leaving. And in fact, he'll make his way to the roof to wait for her. He's not intending to hide from her. He certainly can't, because she'll always be able to sense where he is. But if she wishes to part ways, he's not going to force her to stay. Not with all that's gone on so far.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[May doesn't take too long to get her clothes, exiting the store a few minutes later. She pauses at the front for a moment before glancing up at the roof.]

The roof is a odd place to wait, Prince Ling-sama.

[avaricious]

[He leans forward, smile ever present.]

I prefer the view. Are you finished?

[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?]
