in his element [video]

[Back in his very fine blue coat, and pleased as punch, Break takes a moment to spin his tophat idly before setting it on his head. Nothing like familiarity to make a nasty winter a little nicer.]

My goodness. I feel I should twirl.

[Because really, it's a very fine coat, and he's missed it. He does take a half step, letting it flare.]

I remember being terrified the first time we came to a city. I'd never seen so many people in one place before. I didn't know anyone's face or where they were going, and everything moved so fast.

They're like that if you're not used to them.

Have you ever been to the country? The rivers and the forests? Big open fields and houses on hills?

The Reinsworths live in such a house.

Lucky... do you go out a lot?

[That homesickness might be there, just a little.]

I do. Not quite as often as I used to, but my lady quite enjoys walks on the grounds.

Mhh-

Maybe when the weather isn't as nasty I could take you out to the riverside. I know good places to go fishing. Then we could stock your smokehouse.

I'm not sure what one would fish for here.

Giant crab monsters.

[Completely, horribly serious.]

Oh! I've seen those. I thought they were land dwellers.

Sometimes. Other times they hide in the river and wait for someone to get too close. I'll show you the scars sometime.

[They're awful. Seriously.]

Really? I've never seen them attack a person.

They... do. The claws can crush bone.

If Bran hadn't have been there, it would have been bad.

I don't know Bran.

Bran Cornick. He's been gone a long time. Over a year.

I'm not even sure when it happened. Things get jumbled sometimes... but he was a very good man. He carried me back to the clinic.

[Al's voice breaks a little there, a bit embarrassed.]

Was he the-

The-?

Your friend you were telling me about.

Oh -- no, no. That's not him.

Just curious.

It's... complicated. And I'm not sure how you'd feel about it.

You needn't. You owe me no explanations.

I know. I think that's why I tell you things at all.

That makes no sense, Alphonse.

[Pulling off his tophat.]

Part of human nature is the fact that things we decide on our own, rather than obligations, are more attractive.
