"The only time I heard the shard speak was after I picked it up. It declared itself victorious over an individual named Tucker," Selim said, "I have not yet researched this Tucker or the shard's connections to this person."
Elysia looks over at Selim as he says Tucker's name and then she looks at the shard in Al's hands. "If it still has the blood seal, then can we speak with it-with the soulmeld?""
*Hawkeye's eyes widen slightly in the cliche anime-eye-widening look.*
"Tucker! she composes herself "...I see. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. He was embroiled with Lab 5...the last time. Private Bradley, why don't you escort Fullmetal to the library to check on his books. Fullmetal, when you are done looking at it, I will take the shard and Lieutenant Miller into custody."
The other woman smirks an almost knowing smirk as Al takes the shard of metal. "Yes. Perhaps the young man will have a... talent... for communicating with our soulmeld."
Al is intent on the shard and barely glances at Laura when she speaks, only going so far as to say "Huh?" He takes the shard away from his ear and examines the seal carefully for damage. "I-I don't know. I think he might be gone..."
OOC: So what does Al know about Tucker anyway(if anything)?
