When snow outside, it is desirable to earth nise in a blanket, to have a drink a bowl of hot cacao, read some article about an autonomous... But no, necessarily by it two it is needed to be stick in some dangerous business, that all eventually made off worse all, Ed got in a hospital, and it was me again to go intown - to repair him maimed to the state of potato-puree steel hand!
Now I get dressed by a "cabbage" and call all will-power in an order to creep out together with a heavy bag complete details, on a frosty porch, and farther to head for the station of train.
Here I already in place. With a loud crash and sing go train. When with some efforts rise on steps and go to the carriage, see that in him the not souls, as well as outside. Only begone, some youth sits from the opposite side of carriage. I lay a bag on one of places and sit down alongside. Draw out the favorite magazine "Technologies". Blunder a look on the article about the newest invention and... photo of Ed. End! Already and mastered mechanics! Feet. The same nevertheless alchemy! Presumably, invention some special, that him in all in succession magazines print. Begin to read. That after then?
Quite good does not understand! It will be necessary for Ed to ask about these "methods the use of alchemy in battles", as it is here written, and then no exact explanations are, only essence of invention. Maybe, it in order that all in succession it was not used them. Oh, I so in a favorite magazine would be printed, as him... Yes, and that here yet interesting is?
it is Madam, that does read?- on an empty carriage voice of black youth that sat a bit aloof was heard, now suited and insolently examined the open page of "Technologies" through my shoulder. I answered a bit rudely:
it is the Favorite magazine "Technologies". Would it could you introduced oneself at first?
-O, exactly. I - Feliz Irvayn. Famous mechanic, by the way. Strange, that ladies until now about me did not hear, - he reported conceitedly, jokingly calling to me on "you".
- know Well, to us in Rizenburg of news reach rarely, - I answered caustically, ignoring him affected.
- Oh, seems, me and in this magazine printed, - a "famous mechanic" tore up for me from the hands of "Technology" and began to search the article about itself it.- Found, here she where, - he poked to me under a nose page with an own photo. Must admit, this vain turkey-cock looked so well on her, that in my head even an idea flashed by willy-nilly, what of him niceman. A title of text was such: the most "Durable autonomous for all history". A devil, this boy, - my competitor yet and.
Can argue although, that and hand that I did to Ed, in a thousand one times stronger than any of his works, and I nowhere was yet printed simply because nobody gathers to go in such distance, as Rizenburg, to search masters of autonomous for reporting.
- Here then so, what - I too mechanic. In our family mastery of making of prosthetic appliances was passed from a generation in a generation.
- I suited to associate exactly because know it. you ж- of Uinri Rokbell, personal mechanic of the alchemist?
- is So, where do you know from?- o-o, alike, I not such already and not popular, as thought.
- Everybody was already heard of girl of such famous person, - explained Feliz, mockingly smiling. "Interestingly, it for him always such mien"?- had time to flash by in my head before I comprehended said and, turning red to the tags of ears, exclaimed:
- Girl?!
- Ouch, I am sorry, different scuttle-butts walk. Then do not you meet?- youth did the puzzled mien, but me will not deceive these - obviously, that he said it it is simple, to play with my feelings and laugh, and there are not even no scuttle-butts. I downright fired up and barely kept from that, not to fill to him a big cone one of wrenches the wide choice of that lay in my bag. Trying not to give out the emotions, answered:
- Certainly no, we are simply old friends. In childhood often played together.
- Begone as, - Feliz took the place opposite me, gathering to continue conversation. He already wanted something to say, but I tried intentionally to translate a theme in a professional river-bed:
- Then that special in your autonomous? Does it can will share a secret?
- I simply use the special alloy. By the way, and why does the brother of Edward Elrika always carry?- alike, interlocutor far anymore than own invention now interested the personal life of my friend and he continued for me to question his secrets.
- And that for an alloy?it is I on provocation conducted did not gather to be and again tried to begin to speak about an autonomous.
- to Titan with gold, but also heavy enough. To carry such prosthetic appliance it is necessary to have six blocks on a stomach. I answered your question, now give an answer for my, - he not give up in any way.
- I am sorry, can not say, - wanted I, but all appeared not so simply.
- Aha, means some interesting secret hides here, -Irvayn appeared too and long-nosed.
- Nothing hides here, simply...- on this word did I stumble - and true, how to explain that Аl carries thihgth? Not to tell, that they are his body.
- That "simply"? So I knew. Then do you refuse to tell?
- Certainly, does refuse, - cut off я.- And in general, do not move the nose to stranger millet, heard such?
- Heard. That? But as did Edward manage in the age already to get rid from two extremities?
- did Manage?! Do not talk about it how about two forgotten nails!it is already went across all limits.
Hey, but did I simply ask, what so to boil?
- And really?! Did "simply ask"?! - farther I decided not to behave, as foolish and stared in the magazine, so not instructing from him to the end of road.
