[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.]

[avaricious]

Don't get into a fight with Ran Fan or Greed and we'll call it even.

[Beyond that, he wouldn't turn down any attempt she needed to make so she didn't feel in his debt. It was merely important to free her of a sense of obligation.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[No fighting Ran Fan or Greed, she could manage to do that. Unless they decided to provoke her, but that seemed highly unlikely.]

Does that include sparring?

[Just to make sure.]

[avaricious]

[That earns a little bit of a smirk.]

Well, I certainly can't stop you from sparring. I wouldn't want Ran Fan to lose her edge.

[alkahestrykunais]

[A slight smirk crosses her face as well as she begins to walk again.]

I told her that I would spar with her once she regained her new arm.

[avaricious]

Well, I'm sure she'll appreciate that. Just as long as the two of you don't come back horribly injured.

[Oh hello. It's the smithy.]

[alkahestrykunais]

I know not to injure someone horribly while sparring. [She's really only sparred with a panda, but he doesn't have to know.]

[When noticing him, May glances at Ling to make sure that this was the right place.]

[avaricious]

Well, here is the weapon shop. As a matter of fact, Winry Rockbell works here. I doubt you've met her, but she's a friend of the Elric brothers.

[He's not aware of her misadventures in Briggs.]

[alkahestrykunais]

We've met, she's a nice lady. [Despite calling her a hussy at first.]

This is where I can receive my weapons?

[avaricious]

[Oh. That surprises him. They'd met?]

They should be in here somewhere. If not, you can order new ones.

[Stepping on inside, looking around. Seems Winry isn't here.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[She follows him, glancing around the store. Ordering new ones certainly did sound easier than collecting the supplies to transmute her own.]

It's that easy?

[Now where could ten kunais be found?]

[avaricious]

That it is. The people here are often bored enough that they are wiling to do anything to relieve it.

[A fact Ling often exploits for those who can cook.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[Oh, those might be her kunais right there. She'll go pick them up.]

They don't give you much to do here?

[avaricious]

[Oho, he recognizes them. Good thing.]

No, not particularly. Some people here get jobs just to have something to do.

[alkahestrykunais]

[Does she just collect them or is she supposed to ask someone..? She'll just give Ling a small questioning glance.]

What do you do in your spare time?

[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!]
