Night 69: Main Hallway, 1-West

[his_legacy]

[From here]

Just as last night, Link stood and waited along the wall of the main hallway. Nobody else was out, yet. Good. He had made good time. One never truly knew, here.

He didn't expect to wait long. They all seemed to be very competent people, perhaps with the slight exception of the Once-ler. Though Link could not complain. He had been a bumbling fool the first time he had faced a true monster.

It was the sheer ridiculousness of Alphonse Elric addressing her as Miss that did it. Lust wasn't able to control herself. She tried, and at first made only a strange strangled noise as she attempted not to laugh. But it was no use.

"Miss?" she repeated, before pressing the back of her hand to her mouth to try and stifle herself. She bent forward, shoulders heaving, and she recognized this as the other end of the spectrum of hysteria. Well, better this than leaking, she supposed.

"I'm sorry...oh, dear god. I've never been a 'miss' in my life!" She waved her other hand at them, indicating they should start moving. She'd get herself under control in a moment.

At least it had broken her tension!

Al startled a bit, blushing with embarrassment at her reaction. He hadn't even realized he'd added that moniker! "I...I'm sorry?" His voice squeaked a bit at the end of it, and he glanced to Edward and Scar desperately for help. It really wasn't helping that Lust was displaying her...assets rather nicely with how she was standing.

It was a lot easier to ignore that stuff when he was in the armor. Stupid hormones!

Scar couldn't help the look of utter bewilderment that crossed his face when Lust burst into hysterics. It had been slightly strange, yes, but hardly worth having a fit over.

Or perhaps seeing her like this was catching him off guard. Had she become more emotional since they had been here? Or was he only now starting to notice? The implications of both hypotheses were odd, not something he was keen on thinking about at the moment, either.

He swallowed, collecting his wits as Alphonse sputtered flustered apologies.

"If we're through..." he repeated, still watching Lust with a wide-eyed frown.

Ed also stared at Lust wide-eyed. He was most definitely noticing... things. Then he flushed and prayed that his reaction wasn't going to decide to become noticeable. That was just what he'd need to start off his night.

"I'm sorry!" Lust waved her hand and took a deep breath, holding it a moment before releasing it. "I don't know what came over me. I can't control myself anymore, it's ridiculous." She noted them all gaping and sighed again. She felt cornered again, with all their eyes on her.

"You'd think you've never seen a woman laugh before. Are we going?"

"Sorry!" Al squeaked again, turning to quickly head over to the stairs and mentally berating himself for staring like that. At least from how his brother was looking, he wasn't alone in that embarrassment.

Scar glanced from one brother to the other for a moment before it hit him. He let out a deep sigh that was really more of a grumble as he began to make his way for the stairs.

"Come on." He didn't turn around as he called for the rest of the group to follow.
