[Action for housemate] [Trisha, there's someone next to you. He's fast asleep, kind of sprawling everywhere in the bed, all bony knees and elbows, golden hair loose and fanned across the pillows.]

[Action for anyone]

[Van's gotten the basic rundown, even had the entire problem of timelines explained. Now, he's just exploring. He could probably be mistaken for Edward Elric at first glance, the same golden eyes and long gold-blond hair, but his build is different (thinner, for one thing), and he's kind of lost-looking (but not frantic, not obviously looking for anyone), and he's wearing basic Mayfield clothes but no shoes.

Maybe Ed and Al had a brother they never mentioned before.]

[That was unexpected, and gets a smile out of him.]

Thanks.

[ smiling, yay! Rika feels herself ease up a bit.]

There are many important places to know, but I will start with where you may get food? Are you hungry?

[xerxesalchemist]

Sure. Food'd be nice.

[badend_replay]

Good! I will treat you then! Please follow me!

[xerxesalchemist]

[And follow he does.]

[badend_replay]

[ And she leads him to the diner, even holding the door open for him. ]

We are here! Please go inside!

[xerxesalchemist]

[He can smell the food cooking, he thinks, but it doesn't smell right. There's nothing here in this town he recognizes at all. Not even the people, because other than Ed, everyone else looks foreign.

So he stands inside the diner, looking around.]
