So... June already, eh? I never thought I would get to see this month again so soon.

[A pause, as he struggles about what to say next.]

There's still no trace of Haruki, right? ... Oi, Minato, do you have some time?

By the way, I was wondering, are there any festivals or something celebrated here during the summer?

I know we are all from different worlds and all, and that with the Malnosso it's not easy to have something like that, but I was thinking maybe we could try to organize something? Get our minds to have some fun and relax a bit, it could be something simple with small games or something. Anyone else up for it?

[Action]

[Keiichi will be seen in his daily routine around. Going to the forest in early morning and not returning to be seen until lunch time after which he will be around the village or at the SOS Headquarters, sorely missing a certain God complexed individual.

Also, if you're a small lying child that can throw people flying long distances afar... Keiichi is out to hunt you down. He has given you enough time to calm down, girl, it's time to talk.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I already said no thank you.

I don't understand why you'd want me to try anyway.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to try either.

I want you to try it because I think you don't really know what it's like in the Brigade. Whatever you can hear through the journals or see through someone else are all second-hand experiences. No one can't get a real idea of anything through just that.

Even if your opinion won't change, even if it would be just for an hour. A first hand experience is the only way to have a real idea of things. Watching from the sidelines won't get anyone very far.

Fine, but I don't understand what good it will do. It's not like even if I joined I'd have something beneficial to bring to a group such as The Brigade.

[Victory~, even if it's just her trying it once Keiichi is satisfied. He laughs a bit at her comment thought.]

It's not really about what you can do for the Brigade but what the Brigade could do for you. I mean, it's not as if we require the members to have a special function or anything, sure Haruki may rant about it but believe me, that's not all important for him.

And what do you think the Brigade can do for me?

That depends mostly on what you would need or what you want to take. That's why I said one should at least try it once before declining. Besides, it's not as if Haruki would invite just anyone to the Brigade.

More friends for starters, not that I'm saying you wouldn't have friends but still I don't think more would hurt. And another place to which you can go and relax or disconnect from everything else. And lots of fun no matter what your hobbies or likes are.

If you like team games we have those, if you prefer a one-on-one thing there are tons of board games for that setting, and if you just want to sit and read a bit that's also there. I know most of those things can be done anywhere in the village but the idea is to do those activities in a familiar and settled environment, with people you are familiar with and such... A second home of sorts.

[That's not betraying Haruki's thought slip back then, right? Nah, a home doesn't implicate a family unit forcefully.]

[One never has enough places like that, Winry. Specially in a place like this. But that's only Keiichi's opinion, anyway he's happy to have convinced you to at least visit once.]

By the way, you said work in the smithy, what do you make there?

It depends on the customer. Since I got here I've been working more outside of my specialty.

And what is your specialty?

Prosthesis.

In a smithy? Wouldn't that fit more the clinic?

You can't make a prosthetic in a clinic. The installation perhaps, but that's about it. Besides, all the prosthetic limbs I create are entirely metal and wire.

That's not very aesthetic, is it? Do they even work?

[Because if not then it's quite a waste in his opinion if they aren't at least pleasant to look at neither work properly.]

Not aesthetic? Not aesthetic? Are you kidding me?! Automail is one of the most beautiful pieces of technology of it's time!

And of course they work! My prosthetic limbs attach directly to the nerves, allowing them to function exactly like flesh ones! Automail is a perfect combination of biological science and cutting edge technology I'll have you know!
