I guess you have a point there.

[He ends up sitting down next to Al anyway. He has nothing against swimming, but this isn't his first time seeing the ocean. He is, after all, the well traveled Prince of Xing.]

I saw the ocean for the first time several years ago. It was against my grandfather's express wishes, but I managed to convince Fu to let me go anyway.

He didn't want you to see the ocean?

[twinnedavarice.livejournal.com]

Xing is a big country. It was a long journey to make, especially since I would be traveling near the lands owned by our rivals clans.

That's right...

[ it's hard to imagine, struggling against so many people who are your own flesh and blood. he and ed had their moments. like any siblings, they fight and argue and sulk - but he could never imagine hating him. ]

What did you do when you got there?

[twinnedavarice.livejournal.com]

[It's pretty much all Ling knows and it doesn't bother him. It just makes him cautious.]

I decided that I wanted it all.

[ahobby.livejournal.com]

[ here, al can't help but chuckle. that sounds like ling - and along with that, it sounds like greed. ]

That's a lot to care for.

[twinnedavarice.livejournal.com]

The whole world is a lot for one man to crave, though.

[Unless you're Greed... which is exactly what he wants.]

[ahobby.livejournal.com]

That might be reaching a little too far for one person. [ or country. considering everything coming out about amestris and all the greed and corruption. ]

[twinnedavarice.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but I've never been one to settle for limitations.

[If he did, he'd probably be able to know how long he could walk while running on empty... and consequently not end up lying in the streets from exhaustion and hunger.]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

I think that's admirable in it's own way.

[ but you tend to overdue it. he doesn't think he has to point that one out. ]

[twinnedavarice.livejournal.com]

You and Ed aren't all that different.

[They just don't own up to it like Ling.]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

You're right.

[ regular people would have given up a long time ago... but they have their sights set on only one thing, and that probably won't change... ]

[twinnedavarice.livejournal.com]

Though I do think you two outdo even me, sometimes. We would have never made it out of Gluttony if he hadn't kept pushing for a way out.

[Shamed as he is to admit it, Ling basically gave up in there.]

[ahobby.livejournal.com]

We made a promise. [ it's really as simple as that... but he knows the extent of his brother's determination. if it wasn't for it, he'd be dead now. not many people can say that their brother sacrificed his own arm for them. ] We wouldn't stop until we'd gotten our bodies back, with our own hands.

He's really amazing when he sets his mind on something.

[twinnedavarice.livejournal.com]

On the other hand, he'd be a lot better off if he was a little less stubborn.

[He's seen Greed's memories of the meeting in Dublith, after all. Ed wasn't exactly Mr. Rational there.]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ you should have seen him against scar. ]

I know. I'd be happy if he was even just a little less reckless.

[twinnedavarice.livejournal.com]

Well, he's not reckless to day, at least.
