[To any onlookers, the vision that greeted them when the camera turned on was likely something that was square between hilarious and pathetic. Alphonse would never blame anyone for this idea, given that his attire was a horrific mix of every stitch of clothing, sans the extra underthings, he could cobble together to put on between his bag and what he woke up in.

It looked ridiculous, fit awkwardly, and overall was kind of sad. What was the monstrosity he was wearing that would garner such a reaction? It was a white waist cloth that went well down his shins and had the straps wrapped around his waist twice, with a far far too small blue kimono tucked over his shoulders in an attempt to have a shirt, and which was only being held in place by the green breeder's apron tied over the whole thing. Basically, the only thing he was wearing that remotely looked like it fit was the apron, and the only reason that he even managed to get the kimono on as far as he had was the fact that he was absurdly skinny.

Unhealthily absurdly skinny. But that was very much not his fault, and he raked his scraggly waist length hair back behind his shoulders as he finally spoke, voice soft and tone polite, if highly embarrassed.]

Hello everyone, I have to admit that in spite of reading over the materials given to me I really have no idea where I should go. I also, ah, am badly in need of some clothing that fits, and would like to know if anyone has seen a blond with the same coloration as myself? He tends to wear a lot of red...

If you can address any of these concerns I would be very very thankful.

[That voice. He recognizes it.]

[He scrambles for his Pokegear, which his squirtle was playing with. And then he proceeds to stare down into it. Even if he hadn't seen Al's body in the Gate, there's a vague hint of something familiar to the appearance.]

[As if he's seen it recently.]

[ Curiosity flickers within Morgiana's eyes briefly as she stares him down. The way his face was shaped and his body, this was a sight common enough to her. Many slaves had their bodies whittled down to nothing and while it was sad to see them eventually pass on, she was filled with concern for this stranger. ]

Will you be well on your own? [ Maybe he needs food? She recognizes the area from her brief visit there, but food wasn't easy to come by. ]

[That is definitely...]

Al!

[Then he's yelling over his shoulder.]

Winry! Al's here! I'm borrowing a couple of your birds.

[Nope, he's not asking for permission. She'd probably let him anyway and will follow him out.]

[Ed's grabbing his coat and moving out of the inn they're staying at.]

[Remembering that oh yeah, Al's on the line.]

Don't move, Al. We're coming to get you.

[And then...he's sorry, Al. Sort of, anyway. But he kind of laughs.]

What are you wearing?

[Run around a bit more frantically there Edward, you're making him squint at you, and he's not used to looking at things with normal eyes anymore you know! This is taking some getting used to! Also, it seems like he has zero control over his expression, as a look that is somewhere between a pout and scowl almost immediately comes to his face.]

Brother! Okay, I can wait here but... can you bring some clothes?! I'm wearing everything they gave me.

[His eyes widened at the reply, and he gave her a sheepish smile. Usually it wouldn't be a problem but now...?]

I want to say yes, but I'm not sure how true that is right now.

[Please, that wasn't frantic. That's normal Ed reaction. Al will get used to watching it. Look, look, he's sorry okay - don't make that face.]

I can see that. I've got something you can wear.

[Al will figure that out quick enough, he just has to get used to having eyes and all that. Wait until you see him try to run somewhere! We're not even going to get into the fact that he keeps fussing at the clothes he's wearing since he's overly aware of them either.]

They didn't exactly leave me with anything that fit you know! [He fell fully into the pout at this point.] It's.. breezy.

[Honestly, Al can do whatever he wants - even if that means fussing over his clothes.]

We'll get you some appropriate-sized clothes. Until you can wear my spare. [Because it's not like Ed wears the clothes given to him upon arrival to this world.] It's probably better that you can seeing as how it's summer here.

Brother... [He sighed, shaking his head, which had the overly long hair sliding into his face before he shoved it back again. That was going to drive him up a wall.]

...Bring a spare hairtie?

[A small laugh at that. Ed's used to his hair but of course it'd drive Al nuts.]

I will. We can get it cut later once you're settled at the inn.

[He twisted the mass around his fingers and held it at the base of his neck.]

I kind of want to keep it... but it's tangled and in my face, so I'm not forming an opinion yet.

[Nod. Al will get the hang of it eventually.]

It'll take a few hours for us to get there. Find some shade so you don't burn. [Delicate skin that hasn't seen the sun in years.] Eat as much as you can of that meal the woman in the house gave you too.

Right. I... I hadn't actually thought about eating yet brother. [The idea actually made him a bit giddy and he flashed him a smile.] I'll see you soon, okay?

Have you got your list? [Though he doesn't doubt that Al probably remembers everything on it.] Yeah, soon.

Every bit of it. [He brightened further, heading for the nearest shade on the side of the road he'd been walking down, his pokemon making quiet metallic sounds as it followed him.]

I'm watching the sky then?

Good. I bet Winry will be glad to help you mark everything off. [Ed would too if he ever actually cooked.]

That's right. Otherwise it'd take days to get to you. [He doesn't think Al is up for that three day walk either.]

[He'd still try. And end up severely sunburned in weird places for his troubles.]

It's a relief you're here too.

[Wouldn't be good. As it is, Ed will lend him his red coat for the travel back as its got a hood.]

Winry would have been here even if I hadn't. [She would have come for him.]

Winry's here too? Who else? Um. Not any of the other side, right? [Because he hadn't forgotten what happened before he woke up here, and while it was really good he was in his body, what happened to the people who tried to grab him?]

Yeah, she's been here a while. [That makes his frown in displeasure.] Envy's here and so is Kimblee.

Your Pokemon.

[ She instructs in the basic manner that she's learned since her arrival. ] You should rely on them to bring you food. If you ask them nicely, they will help.
