13th Teddy Bear [Mallynapped//Early Afternoon]

[asobouyo]

[The feed had started out with Elicia sitting on the couch, showing off different drawings for the day, bringing up the idea of camping—about maybe sleeping over at Winry's house. But soon the peace is lost when something off camera forces open the front door. There's the muffled noise of Hughes—calling out something, something that one can't make out too well, but it's fairly obvious what it's about when Elicia jumps off the couch and runs into her room, journal hanging open in her one hand.

Noises of metal clashing against metal, quieted when Elicia closes her door and does what her father tells her; she hides in her closet, hugging the journal until it's just a black video screen.

...Quiet.

And then footsteps. But they seem heavy.]

...Papa...?

[The door is pulled open and a robotic hand juts across the video screen, grabbing Elicia before the still rolling journal finally falls and flips shut.]

I think that if I sounded fine, I wouldn't be. [ And there is almost humor in that. You know him too well orz ]

[He almost calls her bluff and she totally calls his.]

I'll keep an eye out for Elicia when I'm out on patrol, promise. [She's not too sure what she could do to help right now but that's a promise that Selphie intends to keep.]

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, Maes.

It's gonna be okay so don't give up.

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

Aa. I know better than to give up, at the least. [ Lessons hard-learned and not forgotten, and all that. ]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

So cheer up!

I'll work on that. [ He probably even really will. In a few days or something. ]
