[Voice]

[fullmetalbrat]

Hey, Cordelia? [Ed's voice is hushed, like he's trying not to be overheard.]

Can I ask a favor?

[keep_nothing]

[ She has to think for a split second of who would be calling her in a whisper, finally recognizing the voice. ]

... Ed? What's wrong?

[fullmetalbrat]

Nothing, I just don't want to deal with it if Mustang hears me.

It's just—look. Me and Winry have to go out of town for a few days, but Mustang is still... She hasn't researched enough to feel okay about trying to fix his sight yet, so we can't just leave him alone.

[keep_nothing]

And can I ask where you both are going? Because you know Roy will ask eventually.

[fullmetalbrat]

Oh, he already knows where we're going. He just thinks we'll actually leave him by himself while we're gone.

[keep_nothing]

Uh-huh. And you ... want me to babysit him? Is that it?

[fullmetalbrat]

That's exactly it. He's going to be mad about it, but he hasn't been blind for that long. There's no way he's adjusted as much as he wants to think he has, so I'd appreciate you keeping an eye on him.

[keep_nothing]

Hmm ... how long will you and Winry be gone then?

[fullmetalbrat]

Not long. Three days tops.

[keep_nothing]

And how soon would this be?

[fullmetalbrat]

[Bright and cheerfully,] Tomorrow!

[keep_nothing]

[ She rolls her eyes, the sentiment carrying into her voice as well. ]

Gee, thank you so much for giving us a heads-up.

[fullmetalbrat]

Yeah . . . sorry. It came up kind of suddenly.

[keep_nothing]

Uh-huh. [ She sighs lightly. ] I'll make sure to come over in the morning tomorrow.

[fullmetalbrat]

Thanks. I'll owe you one.
