Equivalent Exchange--Episode 1: Shattered Love

[Dire Lemming]

"I'm sorry, I've forgotten allot of things from before." Al says, sounding releived that the woman is actually speaking with him though a bit embarrassed as he admits. "I don't remember you." he continues to peer through the hole, trying to get a better view of what is going on in the room. "Alright, Please come out and talk to us."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The woman snorts, perhaps in disbelief, perhaps because in anger that she was so easily forgotten.*

"If I tell you, will you leave?" she repeats her question.

*Al still can't get a good view, as she's blocking it.*

 

[Dire Lemming]

Al is a bit hesitant, he doesn't particularly feel like leaving, he wants to see what she is doing. Still if it'll get her to talk... "a-Alright." He says.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Very well then, if I must," she agrees.

*A quick slap and she fills up the peeping hole in the wall with vines, but she is as good as her word in that she opens up a secret doorway slightly and exits to the hallway, closing it behind her.*

"Please, then, let's go to the dining room so we can all sit down?" she gestures down the hall warily, as if expecting that this might be a trap that Al plans to spring on her.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Al nods, and starts to move in the direction she indicates, looking back at her and Rose.

 

[unleashed]

*Rose follows Al, keeping her thoughts to herself, though she also keeps a watchful eye on the woman.*

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The woman walks with them until they get to the table in the dining room. She takes a seat and waits for them to do the same.*

"So what, you have amnesia? That sounds pretty far-fetched, but given my own past, I suppose I have little room to talk. You want to know how I know you and your brother?"

 

[unleashed]

“No, not exactly, but close enough,” Rose says quietly, taking a seat and watching the woman.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Al takes a seat and nods, "Yes, please. We met Claus when we first got here and she told me some things about what happened, but I'm not sure I understood. Uh, well I guess you know who I am, and this is Rose." He watches the woman expectantly.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I see. Well, it is very simple, Alphonse. Your brother Edward murdered my Majihal. Edward whipped him and impaled him with a sword. He took away my beloved, and for that I will make him pay--where is your brother, anyway? I thought the two of you were inseparable?"
