"You've reached Winry Rockbell! I'm sorry I'm not here to take your call.

...If this is Ling Yao, no, I won't marry you.

...If this is Edward Elric, what did you do to my automail now?

Please leave me a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!"


[OOC: Please tell me which game you're contacting Winry about! Thanks.]

[hands4healing]

Sure, I could meet you there. Which one and what time?

[cleptes]

Say around two in the afternoon? I'm afraid I don't know much about the local places to eat at.

[hands4healing]

I think The Grand Ennui has better sandwiches and pastries. It's not far from the porter - there's a little map that shows how to get to StarkTech and other places of interest just outside it? And The Grand Ennui is in the next block over. You'll see the neon sign, it hangs over the entrance!

[cleptes]

Never been there before but it sounds good enough to me so I will meet you outside The Grand Ennui at two o'clock. Thanks for the directions by the way.

[hands4healing]

You're welcome! I'll see you there.

is action all right?

[cleptes]

Can't wait. I'll see you soon.

Absolutely!

[hands4healing]

[ --> ACTION!]

[Winry trots quickly along the street to reach the Grand Ennui. The sky is slightly overcast but the sun peeps through the clouds. She's curious at meeting Miss Talbot - and just a bit hungry.]

Miss Talbot!

[she waves.]

[cleptes]

[Some food and conversation were two things that Bela could use right now. Apart from that she was still keen to give Winry a token of her gratitude.]

Hello, Winry!

[She waves in return, coming closer to her. Bela holds a gift bag in her other hand.]

Thanks for meeting me.

[hands4healing]

[Winry pauses a few steps away to survey Miss Talbot. She doesn't see any immediate evidence of the healing and that makes her smile brightly - well, that and seeing a friend.]

It's really nice to see you!

[cleptes]

It's nice to see you too. You look well.

[Bela gives her a smile in return before gesturing at the The Grand Ennui.]

Are you ready to go inside? Because I definitely am.

[hands4healing]

[Brightly.]

Sure!

[Winry opens the door for her.]

Everything here is good.

[cleptes]

[She enters the restaurant after Winry opens the door, stepping aside to allow her some room.]

Everything, hm? Maybe I'll need to come back again in the future.

[hands4healing]

It is good.

[It smells really good in here. Winry inhales.]

What do you want?

[cleptes]

Soup and a sandwich, maybe? I think they go well together. What do you usually get?

[hands4healing]

That's what I usually get! Or the soup in the bread bowl. It's really good, especially the chili.

[Winry links her arm through Bella's to lead her to the counter.]

They make their own sodas here. And teas.

[cleptes]

That does sound good.

[Bela tries to think of what she was going to order as she is brought up to the counter.]

I think I will try one of their homemade teas.

[hands4healing]

[The barista takes her order and Winry's and gives them a little number teepee to take with them to their table.]
Someone will bring your drinks to your table. You can sit everywhere.

So where do you want to sit, Bela?

[It's a sweet little cafe, with bright, big windows and cute little tables with some fresh flowers in tiny vases.]

[cleptes]

Hm.

[She looks around the cafe for a few moments, trying to decide where would be the best place to sit.]

By the window, maybe? I like the light and looking out at the people as they walk by. I did it back home.

[hands4healing]

It's always good to sit in the sun. [Even with a window between the light and you.]

And people watching is fun!

[Winry gestures to a couple of open tables, waiting until Bela sits before she does. The chairs are comfortable enough. Winry settles and drops her messenger bag into one of the empty chairs at their table.

Their barrista brings them their drinks and assures them their food will be coming soon.]

This is a good place to stop. It's on the way to nearly anywhere I want to go in town.

[cleptes]

[When Bela sits down, she carefully places the bag she was carrying down by her feet. She'll pass it over to Winry in a little while.]

It does seem quite central to a lot of places. Which is handy if you need to run a few errands in the town.

[She did do a lot of her errands in Maurtia Falls but it was always nice to go somewhere different.]

[hands4healing]

And I can pick up different things here than in Florida. It's amazing how different some foods are here compared to there!

Different kinds of sandwiches and different foods! Like the fruit here is different than in Florida. I know that's because of the temperatures - some plants don't grow well in the heat and some need a cold season.

[Her enthusiam dims but only a little bit.]

You probably know that already.

[cleptes]

I know of it, but it doesn't mean I understand everything about it either. I'm no farmer nor a gardener.

[She laughs a little.]

How lucky we are to be able to have access to different varieties of food. It's amazing.

[hands4healing]

It is!

[Winry appreciates good food. Perhaps not as much as a certain prince back home but still.

The barrista brings over their food and smiles, making sure they have everything they need before leaving them to eat.]

There are so many different things here. It's really fascinating!

[Gosh, her enthusiasm could be exhausting...]

[cleptes]

[Well, her enthusiasm certainly made a change from other people that Bela knew.]

All part of the experience of being in this place.

[Bela reaches down for the bag she put down on the ground, setting it on the middle of the table.]

This is for you. It's a collection of alchemy books from my shop.

[hands4healing]

Oh - oh, thank you, Bela! That's really kind of you!

[She's so pleased.]

There are so many!
