[He's a little worried, and it shows] Um- Has anyone seen my brother lately? He hasn't been home much...

He's bigger than me, and a little darker, and he wears sunglasses 'cause he's light sensitive.

Light-sensitive? That's what you've been saying?

I haven't seen him lately.

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

SHH! What if someone hears you? [looks around to be sure nobody heard him]

It was miss Sciezzie's idea. She told people we're her little brothers too.

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

Sorry! Okay, okay.

That's a good cover.

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

[nods and turns his cute at him] Sciezzie said nobody would bother to look into it because there are so many people from other worlds here that nobody could tell for sure.

[short pause]

H-how come you don't come for dinner anymore?

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good point. You two could pass for Amestrian anyway.

...Well, nobody asked me over, so...

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

[looks surprised] Really? Maybe she just forgot. She's been acting really weird since that Russel guy started hanging around. [grumps] But you should come over anyway. She likes you, so it'll be okay.

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

Well, Russel's a jerk, so no wonder.

I'll keep that in mind! Thanks, Rick.

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

I heard her tell Fonsie that he kissed her. Maybe that's why she's been so out of it.

[smiles at him] I'll make sure she doesn't set out milk to drink.

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

...wait, what? Russel kissed... what?!

What?!

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

He kissed her. More than once... and one time he came home with her and another Ed and they slept in her bed.

[doesn't care that he's tattling, he wants to protect his sciezzie and he's pretty sure this Ed can help]

You're looking for an older brother? What's his name?

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

Leo.

[automailmaker.livejournal.com]

Leo? I met someone here who went by that name. I haven't seen him in a while though.

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

Really!? ... Wonder where he could be...

[automailmaker.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I don't know where he is now. I could help you look for him, if you don't mind.

You must be his little brother, then?

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm Rick.

[automailmaker.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm Winry Rockbell. It's nice to meet you, Rick.

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

Same. Um- do you remember where you met my brother Miss Winry?

[automailmaker.livejournal.com]

Just call me Winry, no "miss" needed.

Actually, I was just wandering the streets and bumped into him. And then about a week later he stopped by my Automail Workshop to say hello.

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

... Oh.

Maybe he got a job somewhere and didn't tell me. That would explain why he's never around... right?

[automailmaker.livejournal.com]

Perhaps! You probably shouldn't worry too much. I bet he's just fine. Just wait, you'll see.

[un-locketed.livejournal.com]

...Rick...

Have I really not been around that often?

[red-eyed-rick.livejournal.com]

B-brother? [is a little surprised to see him] Where've you been... nobody knew where you were.

[un-locketed.livejournal.com]

...I guess I have been a little scarce. Don't worry, I'm just fine.
