It really is.

Someone comes to peek at them, after the latest thing they've knocked over and repaired. She doesn't seem to have the dog with her.

"Hello."

"Hello! What're your names? I'm September."

"I'm El, and this is Bellona."

"Hi!" She rocks back and forth on her feet once, then: "How'd you become alchemists? Dad won't teach me..."

"We taught ourselves, before we met Professor Curtis."

"Cool! You must be really smart..."

"Everyone seems to say that."

"Maybe it's true, then. Could you teach me?"

"Probably. We might need to make sure it's okay with Professor Curtis."

"That's okay!"

Might as well go about finding her, then.

Akira seems to be discussing something with Mustang, but turns with a smile to the girls when they appear. "Did you all need something?"

"September wants to learn alchemy from us."

"If you want to teach her, I don't have an objection."

"Okay."

"Let me know if you guys need any help, okay?"

"We will."

"Have fun, then."

"We'll try."

"Come on, let's go get started!"

"Yeah!"

They'll leave Professor Curtis and Mustang to whatever they were talking about. Back to the library.

"What's first?" September asks, bouncing a bit.
