Aren't you supposed to be the greedy one? Why does it have to be one or the other?

[avaricious]

It was easier when I didn't want everything. When I came to your country, I only wanted to save my own clan. I wasn't concerned with the fate of all the other clans. After seeing people from all across Amestris band together, even those who had been enemies before, I realized that Xing couldn't have a leader concerned only with his own clan. I want everything that Xing deserves, but you have to give something up to gain something else. That's equivalent exchange, right?

[automailed]

...Tch... Equivalent Exchange is outdated. [Edward scowls, crossing his arms and glancing away.] I thought it could apply to everything, but... real life isn't just science. People are made of a hell of a lot more than that.

[avaricious]

[... heh, so Ed's moved on beyond that, huh? Giving up his alchemy wasn't just a matter of losing a special power. It was a change in his way of thinking too. He turns back around to face Ed.]

Now that you've seen the end of your journey, what do you intend to do?

[automailed]

[Edward blinks at that, pausing for a moment. He hadn't... really considered that problem in depth. Just fleetingly, when his mind gave him a chance to process more than "oh god we won".]

...I don't know. I can't remember a time when I wasn't an alchemist, and now... it's weird. I mean, I still have alchemy here, but when I go back-

[He shrugs.]

I'll have to think about what I can really do with my life from then on.

[avaricious]

You should find a pretty wife. There's nothing stopping you from doing that now. Just make sure she's a good cook too. That's important.

[automailed]

Wh- who said I was interested in anything like that!?

[avaricious]

I was suggesting it as a new interest.

[automailed]

I don't think I should be getting advice about women from a guy who proposes at the first meeting.

[avaricious]

I'm just efficient.

[automailed]

And how many fiancees have you got?

[avaricious]

It's not the numbers that matter, it's the effort.

[automailed]

I think we've got some different ideas about the definition of "efficiency".

[avaricious]

Possibly. [But. This is too soon after Ran Fan leaving for him to just... goof around. So.] I'll be seeing you around, Ed.

[automailed]

[Edward blinks at the abruptness, then remembers- right. Not the best day ever for Ling. He hesitates, then turns away, starting to head off down the path he'd started on.]

Right... see you around, Ling.
