[A: Phone (Open to All)]

[It's pretty late at night and Al is at the end of his rope. Ed has been avoiding him, he utterly failed to protect anyone he cared about when the town went to hell, and he was once more trapped in this stupid armour body. His voice is high pitched in a mix of distress and determination, coming all in a rush down the phones.]

I've had enough!

I'm not going to let this town hurt anyone I care about any more, and I'm not going to let anyone else get hurt. I know... I know I can't protect everybody, but I can help teach people who don't know how to protect themselves.

So... come to the park in the morning if you want to learn, and together we can help make sure that we can give this place a really good fight!

[B: Park (Open to All)]

[Sure enough, mid morning finds one Alphonse Elric in the park, ready to teach anyone who shows up. He knows a lot of people here are competent already, and that some wouldn't want his lessons. But if he can help even one person get better at defending themselves, then he's done a good job.]

[C: 1649 Albright Lane (Locked to Ed)]

[He has had more than enough of Ed avoiding him. He knew from others what had happened to Brother during the carnival, and he is furious that Ed hadn't come to find him as soon as it was all over. He has been around himself a few times since, but he always seems to mysteriously miss his big brother.

Not today.

He's hammering on the door loudly, big metal fist making a furious pounding that shakes the door.]

BROTHER! BROTHER, OPEN THE DOOR!

[He would be so touched and happy if he knew she felt that way, because she's absolutely right. He would never let her be excluded, no matter how many people showed up for lessons.]

Okay! Why don't you show me your best defensive stance?

Oh! Yes! Um...

[ Satou needs to think for a moment, since usually it's best defensive spell for her... and even then, she's usually got a support mage somewhere or a stalker to bail her out of a tough situation. But after a moment she adopts a weak spring attack stance.

Someone is pulling out amateur Karate. ]

Like this?

[He must not giggle, he must not giggle, he must not--]

No, not quite. Here... you need to lower your body closer to the ground, put your feet apart and it makes you harder to knock down, like this.

[He adopts a defensive stance, knees bent and arms up.]

Then you shield the important parts of your body with your arms.

R-right, okay! Like this?

[ Her face is getting a bit red. He might not be giggling, but she knows he's probably holding one back. So she just grins as best she can, to silently give him permission to laugh (but no one else!!! her pride can't take that!!!). ]

Important parts... got it! Okay! Looking better?

[He leans over to gently adjust her arms to better cover her chest, with her fists up near her throat.]

Mm, way better. That way, even if I hit you then I'm not going to hurt anything really vital.

Huwah, that's really smart! Al, you're pretty good at this!

[ She giggles, observing her corrected stance and trying to burn it into her memory. ]

Usually when I fight I'm more concerned with not getting hit. Mikky says I suck at defense!

It is better not get hit, but at least now you know you can protect yourself if you do get hit.

[He sounds so happy, glad she's picking up on it and seems to be having fun.]

Uh-huh! Especially since I don't really have a partner for back-up anymore!

[ She grins, slopping out of the stance only to quickly take it again. Satou seems amused as she reenforces it into her memory. ]

I'm gonna be a force to be feared~! Or at least hard to hurt.

[He can't help but giggle at her determination.]

Maybe not feared, you don't want to scare people. But I know you'll be hard to hurt.

Eheh~ Mm-mm! And I can take this home with me and make my assassins extra frustrated!

[ She stops the cycle of taking and dropping the stance, feeling like she might remember it a bit better. ]

Ne ne, you're good at this though, right? Does that mean you have to fight a lot back home? [ Suddenly worried. She doesn't like that idea. ]

Mm, Brother and I have to fight sometimes to protect everyone we care about.

[Alas, that's just what you had to do when the leader of your country was a crazy homunculus.]

[ She runs through a few emotions. "sdfdasgvs Al is in danger!" was where it started. Jealousy and self hatred went somewhere, because she has no one to protect right now but herself. Now she's just really proud to be his friend. ]

You're a really amazing person, Al.

[He doesn't quite know where that came from, and his return chuckle is sheepish. Not that he can deny he likes the praise from her...]

N-No, it's just what anyone would do! And I'm not fighting on my own, there are a lot of brave people fighting with us.

[ She giggles and shakes her head. ]

Nn-nn. Whether you're alone or with others, it takes a lot of bravery and kindness to fight to protect people. I'm really glad I get to know someone so wonderful. [ Satou's compliments don't have an off switch, sorry. ]

[He would be blushing hardcore if he had skin right now.]

I wouldn't be able to do it without Brother, and Teacher and... well, everyone.

That's even better! Being able to support and be supported is the best way to be. And you're being modest too. It's cute.

[ She picks up her stance again, to prove to herself that she's memorized it, then throws a punch at thin air. Seemingly done accidentally embarrassing him, as she laughs meekly at herself. ]

Nya~ha, Mikky says my punches are bad... maybe I should focus on kicking again...

[SHE THINKS HE'S CUTE!!!

He is making a little noise that sounds sort of like 'oop', before clearing his throat and trying to get a hold of himself... even if his voice is slightly too high when he speaks.]

N-No... if your punches are weaker then you should work on those more, so that you get better and they're not bad any more.

Do you really think so?

[ She pauses to look at her arms, as if debating their use. ]

I guess so... It would be nice to be able to punch him in the face rather than kicking... [ Satou tries to throw another punch, but it's a bit sloppy. She is simply mimicking what she's seen others do and acting from memory. ]

Not bad! Put your legs further apart and extend your elbow all the way.

[He demonstrates himself at the same time.]

Really pop out your arm, put force behind it.
