[ the feed opens up with a little bit of jostling until it's settled on a nearby bedstand. then, there's a flash of red cloth before al settles down on the floor in front of it. in his white-gloved hands is a broken lamp. he sets it on the floor in front of him. ]

Hello! [ he's rather cheerful. ] I'm Alphonse Elric. Some of you may have already met my brother, Ed. We're alchemists and though we're working in the Perimeter Guard, I also wanted to let people know that we're here to help. If you have something broken, we can probably fix it.

[ he gestures at the broken lamp with a grin and then slaps his palms together. they're then placed above the lamp as a bright, blue light encompasses it. there's a spark of energy and soon the broken pieces are molding back together. ]

See? Just like new.

[ switching it on, the light flickers for a second and then begins to glow steadily. ]

So again, if you need something fixed, Brother and I are on floor 6. Have a nice day!

[Link had to turn his head away from the bright light. Once it faded, he smiled and reached for the newly repaired sword. It felt the same, and when he inspected the edge it was just how Al said. Nice and sharp.]

This is perfect. [Link stepped back and swung the blade around a bit. He was pleased with the work and felt very fortunate to have someone with such amazing abilities so close. Link sheathed the sword and waited for the same to be done to his bow.]

Are there a lot of people like you where you're from? People who can do this?

[alkahestic]

[ pleased with the work and pleased that link is as well, al nods. ]

Mm! There are quite a lot of alchemists, but not many are as powerful as Brother.

[ or him, but he's more modest. ]

Brother is actually famous as an alchemist because he's such a genius.

[ this is said as he shifts the bow in front of him, positioning it in order to complete the repair on it as well. ]

Now this. Same kind of thing?

[ he claps his hands again and hovers them over the bow. a similar flash of light and energy glows around it and the wood becomes smoother, the string tighter, until at least the light fades and the bow looks as good as new. ]

How's that?

[bluechampion]

[A shadow seemed to pass over Link's face. He didn't know what it was, but something Al said seemed to have touched a buried memory that Link hadn't been able to dig out yet. Princess Zelda came to mind, but he didn't know why.

Link quickly recovered, and the shadow passed as quickly as it had come. Any misgivings were pushed aside to deal with later.]

I don't know how anyone would be better than you.

[Link picked up the bow, and like the sword before it, inspected it before slinging it on his back.]

I think you made it better than when I found it. Thanks!

[alkahestic]

[ the small changed didn't go unnoticed, but figuring it was something private, al doesn't press. instead he gives a polite smile and shrugs. ]

Brother is quite good, like I said. We'll show you some time. In the meantime, I'm glad I was able to fix them for you.

[bluechampion]

[Link returned the smile.]

I'll keep a lookout for good scrap metal. I've been wanting to explore the abandoned part of the city since I got here.

[And now that he had something to focus on while he was out, it might keep him from getting into too much trouble.]

Thanks again!

[Link turned and opened the door to leave. He glanced back for one last smile.]

[alkahestic]

[ al gives a quick wave in return, pleased that he was able to help someone. he'll have to tell ed about it later. ]
