27th Teddy Bear [Action Anytime]

[asobouyo]

[Elicia was expecting to be in the middle of a scuffle between enemy winged soldiers. Not to be waking up half-drugged and in an old-fashion malnosso dress. She hadn't done this little dance in a few years now... What did that mean? Did they come back? Impossible, they were... Well, we'll figure this out as we go, Elicia. When she gets up, she nearly falls over, and finds with frustration that her automail leg wasn't working properly. Something was wrong with the knee—aaah, Winry would be pretty grumpy about that.

'This would be the second time this week.'

But it's around the time she cracks open her journal that she realizes something's not right. These entries, they're only up to her sixth birthday? No, that can't be right. Where did all her other.... Oh. Oh wow.

She was fourteen years in the past.

She limps out of the forest, dazed but not confused enough to ruin her train of thought: go to the item shop, find her clothes. The Malnosso always left clothes. And then she'll head to the smithy, to find her sword and... and then she'll need to find Winry in the smithy. Now dressed up, she's found herself a good pair of glasses; if she can... if she can, she'd rather not tell them who she is. Would that change things?

Would that be so bad, though? She's not entirely sure. She's nervous and worried and—and—

... nostalgic. Much much later, after everything, she'll head to the houses of people she's most familiar with. A lot of people aren't where she remembers, but she'll try to find them none-the-less. Probably after heading to where her mom and dad are. She'll also be wondering around in awe at the place. So much different and yet so much changed.... Don't mind her if she looks dumbfounded at something, or surprised at another. If you're expecting a shorty, you'll be surprised—she's 5'9". Her father has great genes, like that.]


[ooc: EDIT: sorry, but it turns out a second post isn't gonna happen; this post exploded! XD You can catch her on the draft, pre-draft log or malnosso journal draft post though!
Go here to see extra information about her future relationships and her. Go here to fill out the relationship post if you haven't yet!

And lastly, I'll reply to this in a few hours! Got something to do real quick.]

[She turns to this strange Elicia with a small smile on her face.]

You'll have to tell me all about it. Tell me everything you can.

[Those should be familiar words - 'Tell me all about it.' She's certainly used them often enough.]

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

[She clasps her hands together, a bit flustered.]

W-well. I don't know how much I should saaaay... Um. What would you like to know about, mom?

[contentedly]

[So. Many. Questions.

Let's go to the most important.]

Are you happy?

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

[.... smile]

Hummm... I'd say, about 90 percent of the time. That's pretty good, right?

[contentedly]

That's pretty good, yes.

So what else?

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

[Should she really be telling her mother about having more kids? That would be kind of overwhelming. She can already imagine them hushing her with their fingers.]

Um... Ed and Winry got married a while back, actually...

[contentedly]

Really? [...not that Gracia thinks poorly of Haruhi, but...]

That's good news. The two of them are very well suited for each other.

[And a glimmer of mischief.]

And what about you? Any young men your father should start keeping an eye out for?

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

[B-BLUSH 8^|]

No! I mean, nothing like that. I haven't found anyone I like like that yet...

[contentedly]

[Blushing, huh?]

You're blushing.

[You're busted, honey.]

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

N-no! It's just—there are a few cute guys, but they're a little older. Besides, I've been too busy with... stuff. I don't need to worry about boys!

[BLUSHBLUSHBLUSH!]

[contentedly]

Oh? What kind of 'stuff?'

[Oh honey, you're too cute.]

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

You know! Stuff like... Like helping around the house, and practicing my filial spirits, and--you know! Stuff! [She squares her shoulders, looking up with a pout.] You're teasing me, aren't you?

[contentedly]

Maybe a little bit.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

[The blush remains, but there's a smile now.]

... It's... really good to see you, mom.

[She beams.]

Though I guess it's not a huge difference--you're still as young as always!

[contentedly]

[Gracia laughs.]

Taking lessons from your father, I see.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Well, what can I say—it's a good way to stay on your good side, right~?

[contentedly]

[Gracia reaches out and - here, safe - brushes a loose strand of her daughter's hair behind her ear.]

You're always on my good side.

[Even when she's correcting you, it's still from that place of love.]
