Scar got to finishing his breakfast in silence. Prolonged conversation had never been his strength. Hell, this was probably the longest continuous conversation he had had since arriving!
Instead, Scar's eyes drifted up to Alphonse and lingered there. It was somehow not strange at all to see him like this, whole and human. His kindhearted demeanor had always shown through during his days in the suit of armor. Now it was even stronger. And now that Scar knew what they had been through...
Alphonse was everything Scar could have been, if he had only been stronger. This boy's suffering had shaped him into a compassionate and strong willed young man. Scar had only let it break him. It was a painful reminder of how weak he truly was.
But it was also why he was so fiercely protective of both the Elric boys.
