[Sneak... sneak...

Sneak...

And now trying to rip that helmet off]

[ there is a very ALARMED cry as he realizes there's something grabbing at his head. more because he sees the shadow than anything else. al grabs onto his head and holds it firmly in place, jumping up! ]

H-Haruhi?

[Damn! She retracts her hands, knowing she can't match even normal-Al's strength. Let alone robot-Al]

Hio-hi!

[ this is the conundrum. if he makes a fuss, she'll know there's something strange... not that sitting out in this blazing sunlight in full armor isn't strange... ]

Did... did you need something?

Just checking up on you, that's all. [She sighs and then takes up a seat in the stand next to him, idly adjusting her bottom as she goes. It was riding up a little]

[ DRAMATIC FLAIL.

well, not really. he just jumps a little. his hands are still on the helmet, but they're lowering now. ]

[...You know actually-] Remind me hod old you and Ed are?

Huh?

[ blink blink. ] I'm fourteen, almost fifteen. Brother is sixteen.

[Blink] Four- fourteen?! Seriously?!

Um... yes. [ in a tone that attempts to convey 'i'm big for my age'.

... it's a well practised tone. ]

[...Oh man weird. She brushes some hair - wet - out of her face] That's so weird...

Weird...? [ ... not that it's not anything he hasn't heard before. sob. ]

The old Al - he was my age, maybe a little old, actually... and now you're way younger than me. That's weird.

[Simply]

[ that throws him for a loop. ] ... He was your age? [ but...

... was he still like this? ]

Or older, like I said. Technically, I was younger then. He wasn't in a suit of armor either.

[She sort of expected Ed and him to have conversed about it before now, so she amends that after the face, realizing they might not have]

Oh.

[ ... he wasn't? al can't help but glance down at his hands, flexing them. so he does get it back... there's a smile, of course unseen, even unemoted.

but he turns to haruhi. ] Would you like to make some sandcastles?

Haaah--

[...Wait wha- oh. Well, it would alleviate some of her guilt, she nods]

Sure, okay.

[ he stands up and holds his hand out. ]

[A sour look briefly crosses her face but... oh well... she takes the hand and stands]

[ awesome. now we need to find a nice place to try.

... admittedly, the more he's thinking about it, the more he wants to make a really big castle and a moat and try to recreate something out of a history book. ]

So, just castles or are we doing something interesting?

[She says this idly, following his lead for the time being]

I was thinking life-sized castles. [ seriously alchemy for fun. it's intense. ]

[She looks up at him and then... snorts]

Oh yeah?

[ al nods. and once they're far enough away from the rest of the group, al will turn his attention to her. ]

Did I ever show you alchemy when I was here before? [ ed's totally been showing it off and he knows it! still, he's kind of proud he can do it too. ]
