The first night of our trip was wonderful but today hasn’t been.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Roy but he’s jumpy and tense. At first he kept saying it was nothing but by the time he was jumping at every little noise as we walked back to the cottage from dinner I finally got something out of him.

He said he felt like we were being followed. Even though it stunned me at first I couldn’t keep from laughing at him. It was absurd. Not only do we not know a soul here we were in a sleepy little fishing town that hadn’t seen so much as a bar fight nonetheless anyone out to cause real trouble.

I tried to reassure him that it was just stress and his overworked nerves getting to him and that’s why we were vacationing to begin with. When he refuses to let it go I drag him out to the lake behind the cabin hoping the serenity of looking out at the moonlit waters will help him relax.

It had the opposite effect.

He spent the entire time flinching at every little noise and cricket. Back inside I tell him to have a seat and pour us each a glass of wine. I’d give him a shot of scotch if we had some.

I pull off his shoes and rub his feet as I tell him about Kain’s latest stray scaring the piss out of Breda. I only stop to refill his glass and thankfully halfway through it he is smiling. He apologized for being so wound up and I did my best to kiss his worries away.

I reminded him that even if we were being followed we were two highly trained alchemists and soldiers.

Who could get the jump on us?

"Who could get the jump on us?"
Ed! Shame on you! Haven't you watched any classic American slasher movies?? Two lovers alone in the woods...and one of them starts to feel as if there are eyes following them??
Al...you're scaring the crap out of me and I love it!!

GAH! Clueless Ed is clueless! Who could get the jump on you? Only the last person you'd ever expect Ed! The one person you won't want to fight back against BECAUSE HE'S YOUR OWN BROTHER! *cue Friday the 13th music* tch-tch-tch-ha-ha-ha. AAAAAAAH! ^_^

This is really great! You've got it going very well... I mean, we're so used to seeing Al as a kind and ever forgiving boy, that to see this... huh... other side of him is really very interesting. :)What I mean is: you're doing a very good job! :)

I finally caught up! *grins* I can't wait to see what exactly Al is going to do to prove Roy is horrible for Ed.

It's really cool to see the darker side of Al, by the way. (Shouldn't I be posting this in response to one of the Al chapters? o_o) I'm a big fan of the Al that's not as sweet and innocent as everyone seems to think, so this is just the kind of dark stuff that I see lurking. I babble, sorry!

Who, indeed, Ed? Is Ed ever going to wise up? I know he loves Al, and normally would never suspect him of wrongdoing, but he's so clueless, it's scary!

This story keeps getting better and better my dear!! :D
