A-Al...

Could we...

T-Tonight...

Do th-that...

......again?

-nods- Or move into a bigger building. I think there's an empty one bigger than yours near the railyard. If you want I can remodel it and help you move. Or, I can build up onto the building you have now. Your choice.

I think it would be best to keep the store where it is... but-

Oh- but renovating would take so much time and I couldn't pay you...

-holds your hands, smiles at you- My sweet angel, it'll take me only a short time to do this. And having the pleasure of your company is all the payment I need.

Now tell me, how many more floors do you want on this?

Um- well maybe just one extra floor for now- but what do you mean it'll take only a short time? Adding a whole floor won't that take a lot of time and money? And what about the materials?

You must not have been around many alchemists, have you? -smiles- Allow me to demonstrate my abilities -takes out a reddish purple stone- This will only take a short while with this -holds the stone in one hand, places the other on the side of her building. He concentrates, and the building glows, then gains an extra floor, like a plant growing from the ground-

-sits down heavily, tired but trying not to show it- How's that?

But... that's- Alchemy can do that? ... But what was the exchange? There has to be an exchange right? That's what Master Edward said, and all of the books.

Normally, yes. But not with this -shows you the stone- It's made with bits of meteorite, red water, and some of my own blood. It works like the actual stone, but..it has a nasty side effect...it drains the user temporarily.

[looks over to where Russel is and seems to notice he looks a little worse for wear than he did before] What do you mean? [part curious part suspicious]

I mean.. the bigger the alchemy, the more the stone drains my energy...The only drawback of using it...-grins at you so you won't worry- I'm ok, I just need some rest..

M-maybe it isn't such a good idea then.

-smiles- But it's already done -points at the new floor-

... I- [looks back at the building] I guess it is. [wonders how this is going to go over with Leo and Rick]

-sits down heavily on a nearby bench- Now my sweet, what else would you like for me to do for you? -kisses your hand-

[shakes head] Nothing. I mean, I don't need anything- so uh-

You said it took a lot out of you, right? Maybe you should rest a while.

Good idea. Give me a minute, and I'll go in and lie down.

[nods]

-sits for a minute, then gets up slowly- Ok, lead me to the bedroom..-blushes, realizing how that sounded- Um, I mean, so I can rest!
