Back At The House

[carduus]

When they return from the park, the house is still [who would've guessed that ;D] in its organized state of disorder. The kitchen however looks fine and some foodstuffs can be found around.

Tucker just sweeps his books and papers off the dining table.

Nina runs around the two brothers.

[AG]

Ed smiled at the little girl as he watched her have fun. "We will have a quick bite then I really need to get Hayate back to First Lt. Hawkeye." He stated as he looked over at the little dog. He wasn't sure if she would still be at Headquarters but he would check there first, then her apartment. I wonder where she lives... He thought to himself as he began to imagine an apartment with wall to wall gunracks. He sweatdropped at the thought, I need to remember not to get on her bad side.... He thought again.

[Chip]

Hayate watched the little girl run in circles until he heard Riza's name. He turned to Ed and panted happily at the mention of his master, his tail seemed to go at 50 miles an hour. Suddenly he yawned. He hadn't realized how his day had tired him out, so he laid down on the floor next to Ed and began to nap.

[emelie]

Back at Tucker's she began searching the shelves for ingredients. They were disorganized but she was able to find everything she needed. I am going to make the stew that Grandma used to make when were young. I bet Ed and Al will like that. She began making it and laughed as she poured in the milk. It's funny how Ed hates milk but loves this stew even though it has milk in it. She continued to make the stew.

[carduus]

In the meantime he piles some books around. picking them up off the floor and wondering, however they got there. Some are absolutely useless for his research and only took his time away - and time is one thing Tucker is always struggling with. It seems as if his superiors were under the impression that he could do miracles in just a few hours. Sometimes he didn't quite understand why they entrusted him with this task of finding out stuffs about the Philosopher's stone - his expertise were chimeras. But on the other hand, he was truly eager to have a Philosopher's stone for use - he wondered how this would shift his abilities in creating chimeras. Perfect transmutations.

But he felt he is not managing alone. He looked over at Ed and scanned the youngster for competence of helping him with his research [if the authorities were to allow it]. The lad looked more than capable and Tucker felt the urge to tell him everything he had found out so far, yet stopped short. Orders. He sighed and returned to placing useless books into piles to later return to his library.

Nina stuck around Winrey in the kitchen, looking up to all she did wile cooking: "Can I help you, Winrey?"

[emelie]

Winrey looked down at the little girl and smiled. "Sure, Nina. Why don't you get the boys to help you set the table. That will be a big help to me." And it will give those lazy boys something to do.
She she rolled her eyes and laughed to her self as she stirred the stew.

[AG]

Ed peeked into the kitchen, "Uhh, Winrey...need any help?" He asked hoping she would say no. He hated working in the kitchen. He ventured into the kitchen and looked in the pot, "Ooo you're making that stew! What did you say was in this again?" He asked with an excited tone.

[emelie]

"Oh Ed, you should remember. Grandma, made this for us all the time when we were young. It's got beef , vegetables and of course milk.
Accutlly if you want to help, you can come over here and pour the milk in the stew while I stir it. So that way everything gets evenly covered with milk."

[AG]

Ed's excitment turned sour. "m...milk?" He asked seeming to be disgusted. "I HATE MILK AND YOU KNOW IT!" He screamed as he slammed the kitchen door shut and ran out. He sat down and began mumbling about milk with his arms crossed and a sour look on his face.

[emelie]

Winrey was frustrated and hurt. She turned down the stove, grabbed the carton of milk and followed Ed out of the kitchen.
"Ed, here i go out of my way to make you something special to eat. And what do you do. You yell at me and refuse to help because it has to do with milk. Well, ya know what, here is your milk, drink up!" She poured the carton of milk on Ed's head. She then turned to Tucker,"I am sorry sir for wasting your milk, but it had to be done. I will make sure Ed buys you another carton."

[AG]

Ed cringed as the white milk cloaked his body. "Winrey, what the hell?" He screamed at the blond girl. He stood up and got in her face, his eyes were on fire as he glared at her. "I hate milk and you know it! So why the hell did you pour it all over me damnit!" He screamed at her. He stomped out of the house, "I will be back in a little while!" He continued to yell. He slammed the door shut and stomped off into the city.

[emelie]

Winrey stood frozen for a moment where she was not sure of what to do. Ed, has never yelled at me like that before. He must be really mad at me. I need to talk to him. I need to apologize to him. Right now. "Sorry guys!" Winrey ran out of the house and in the direction Ed was going.

[Chip]

The small dog watched as Ed stormed out of the house and tried to follow when Winrey did the same. Sadly, Hayate wasn't fast enough, and he crashed into the door. He let out a low growl at the door, then began to claw at it, hoping someone would open it for him. He looked around, but no one seemed to even notice his existence.
That was when he spotted an open window over a couch. The puppy ran over and climbed his way to the window sill. He looked at the drop down, and swallowed hard. Then, with another glance back into the home, Black Hayate jumped out of the window and into a bush. Damn it. he growled as he struggled to free himself. When he did, he ran out into the streets of Central, looking for Ed, Winrey, or, best of all, Riza.

[carduus]

Blinks blankly and throws some useless papers onto the milk spill to soak it up.

"...Kids..."

Looks around for the kitten and eyes it with a glint in the eye at the thought of a transmutation.

[AG]

Ed walked back into the house and looked around, "Umm, where is Black Hayate? Al? Tucker?" He asked as he noticed the little puppy was missing.

[emelie]

"Yea, where is Hayate? Hayate! Here puppy!" Winrey began searching around the house.

[lustsxxxpride]

Lust came from Lior, headin to this Tucker's house, sure the Elriech boy was there. She was still wearing the straw hat and light blue jacket, and her hair up, but instead in a ponytail. She was tired, and weak, and needed lodging anyway. Maybe I'll get my deathwish afterall. she thought, mentally chuckling. She came, knocked on the door, and collapsed from overall weakness.

[carduus]

Alexander started sniffing around for Black Hayate. Nudging Winrey's leg, when he caught the scent.

Tucker hears the knocking and goes to the doors. When he opens it he spots a woman collapsed there on his doorstep. This day can't get more crowded.

He looks around before lifting the woman up and carrying her to a sofa in one of his studies. He kneels beside her and gently shakes her.

"Miss... eh, miss... what happened?" *Calls to Winrey* Miss Winrey! Could you please bring in some water?"

[lustsxxxpride]

Lust wakes up slightly, enough to speak a little, anyway. "Elriech boy. . . weak. . . .rest." she mumbled, her voice weak.

[AG]

Ed looked at the woman, "L...Lust?" He asked with a shocked look. "What are you doing here?" He asked being ready to fight in case this weak thing was all a trick.
