"Some. And the notes, but they're encoded."

Snugs.

"There's bound to be some stuff on my end, too..." She recounts her adventures so far. "And... I do want to help them? At least a little. But also they have a way of manipulating matter even farther from alchemy than alkahestry is and I want it."

"That would be useful. As long as you're staying safe. Don't let anyone assassinate you for gunpowder."

"I already got that talk, don't worry."

Noseboop. "Make sure you listen, then."

"For you, I will."

"See to it, Lieutenant Colonel."

Heee.

"It'd be neat if we could pull you over, though that might complicate the both of us getting back to Amestris..."

"It'd be a good proof of concept for a generalized transit array."

"It would! And if you rope Ling in, probably we could do something with alkahestric anchors on either side..."

"I'll send a letter straight away."

"Thanks." Squeeze.

"How long has it been for you?"

"Four days."

"...I think that's about how long it's been for me, but I've apparently been unconscious a lot and also lost memory..."

"Memory loss? That's not good, Lion."

"Yeah. And..." She explains the Fade dream stuff and the visions they heard. 

"So now you're a person of interest in the investigation of the death of a major political figure."

"And the person they desperately need to keep alive for magic reasons. Just like the good old days."

"Try not to get kidnapped as much, though."

"I'll do my best."

Hug.

Hug.

"...Even as much as I want to learn about magic - I don't want to wake up to a world that doesn't have you," she says, quietly.

"I know. I don't want to be without you either. I'm going to find a way to get you back. Or join you."

Beam!

"And... Hopefully we'll keep being able to meet here."

" - How did you end up here?"

"I helped," El's Truth pipes up from behind. "Feel free to thank me."
