"M58...M58..." Al shined the light down each of the hallways, checking the room numbers at the beginning of each. After looking down the first two, it seemed he'd gotten lucky in his choice of direction. "Ah, this one!" With a grin, he turned down the third hallway of the block.

Lloyd cringed at the description. "It connects to your nerves? Doesn't that hurt?" He couldn't think how it couldn't, with metal buried in your flesh deep enough to make that kind of connection.

"Magitech is machines and mechanical stuff too, stuff that needs mana to run." He frowned, eyeing Ed's hand again. "I guess that's using your own mana to work instead of lightning mana or something." He didn't begin to understand all the details of how magitechnology worked, but that felt like a reasonable guess.

Al sighed and shrugged. "That's probably a close enough description. There's a battery in there that stores and converts metabolic energy from the body into power for the automail."

Ed shrugged. "Getting everything connected did, yeah. Anyway, that's why I want to check out the kitchen. I need more to eat than most people."

Hint hint, people.

Lloyd's mouth opened, a question of what a "battery" was on his lips, when Ed's pointed hint cut across his words, hammering an importance into their goal that Lloyd hadn't realized had been there before. "Oh!" Ed needed mana to make his arm work. Food helped people recover their mana; Lloyd knew that much. Of course it made sense that he'd need more food.

Taking a step toward the door leading to the next hall, he turned his head to keep talking to the other two. "Let's get going, then. We can keep talking on the way."
