[Ed and Al had spent the night at their new repair shop fixing it up so it isn't until after the fire is over and everyone is safe that they even find out about it. Putting his own personal feelings aside regarding that situation Ed does the first thing he knows how to do as soon as he finds out.]

If anyone needs help repairing damages from the fire my brother and I can fix things pretty quick.

[A pause before switching to a different intended audience.]

Anyone else that can help, we might want to put our resources together to get everything back in order.

[He could reconstruct an entire inn after it was blown up, so he has confidence in his ability to handle things if no one else steps forward, but chances were that any magic users in the Quarantine would probably make quick work where even he couldn't.

And everyone was going to need a place to sleep, tonight.]

Comments

[alchemyfreak]

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

[A pause. He doesn't like that he missed the whole thing, he could have been helping before now.]

Were you there?

[deathkid]

[ nico, meanwhile, shrugs. he yawns and stretches, then refocuses. ]

I was exploring more of the area around the temple. Since the memory thing, I've been wary, but the god is still asleep.

[alchemyfreak]

That was a good idea.

[He looks visibly relieved, honestly.]

Don't wear yourself out, though.... wait, did you go alone?

[That hardly seemed safe.]

[deathkid]

I won't. And yes, I did. I often do.

[ a beat and then. ]

Why does it matter?

[alchemyfreak]

[A shrug.]

I guess it doesn't.

[If he does this all the time Ed doubts Nico wants to be questioned about it. Ed's going to just brush it off like he's not worried.]

Just seems risky, going out to the temple by yourself. It was dangerous with a group.

[deathkid]

I'm fine by myself.

[alchemyfreak]

Yeah, I'm sure.

[Ed knows Nico's abilities but that doesn't stop him from being concerned. He won't push it but he's not exactly good at hiding his expressions.]

[deathkid]

[ scowling a little at the expression ed makes, he huffs. ]

I am.

[alchemyfreak]

[He's a little thrown off by that reaction, because he was being sincere so the confusion is abruptly replaced by surprise.]

I know, I know. I've seen what you're capable of.

[Have a placating gesture Nico, Ed doesn't look too happy about offending him. Worrying about friends was just habit at this point, even the ones more powerful than him, but no one else seemed to take offense to it.]

Sorry...

[deathkid]

[ and nico knows ed's just worried because he cares. he takes a deep breath and releases it slowly. ]

Sorry, it's just... well.

[ a shrug as he looks away. ]

[alchemyfreak]

[His head tilts at that reaction. There seemed to be more to what Nico was saying, but he didn't continue so Ed shrugged.]

Nah, it's fine. It's not my business anyway.
