Owl!

[palewhiteand]

Ruby had sent out an owl to Alphonse, after several attempts that had wound up with her fingers getting repeatedly pecked.


Dear Alphonse,

Can we meet and talk somewhere? There's something I think I need to clear up for you.

Al blinked and looked away from the sunlight shining at the end of the tunnel. "Bright," he murmured, covering his eyes.

Yay, sunlight. Ruby squinted. "So we're almost there?"

"Yeah, it's just over this hill," he said, his hand still holding hers.

"Great!" She moved up to walk beside him, swinging their hands as she did so. "Ah-- it's not that expensive, is it? I only had a few sens in my pocket when I came here."

"O-oh, they don't take sens here," Al said softly, "You have to have wizard currency- don't worry, I have enough."

"Oh-- if it's not too much trouble. I'll pay you back," she assured him. "Is there somewhere I can get it exchanged, though?"

"Just ask one of the house elves," Al said, idly twining his fingers with Ruby's.

"Those little gnome-looking things?" Ruby grinned ever-so-slightly. It looked like Al was getting over his flustered phase.
