Day 21 - Sun Room

Ichigo was only too eager to leave the cafeteria and its fresh memories behind when the softened chime of the intercome rang clear. What had begun as another ordinary meal, a rather agreeable one despite the lack of the proper utensils, quickly became somewhat unnerving. His conversation with...what was his name again?...took so many sharp turns, he should've felt dizzy. It was easy to feel a little sorry for the guy, though; surrounded by stangers in a very strange place, it was hard to blame him for being so alarmed.

The Sun Room occurred as a more enjoyable choice to spend the time; he had nothing against music, but something about being surrounded by some of the most unruly characters he'd ever met, each of them armed with cacophonous weaponry, didn't sound smart. Once his nurse departed, the young man picked out a cozy little spot near a flood of sunshine and settled in, cradling his head in the palms of his hands. There, he stared up almost bitterly at the ceiling with sharply focused eyes, still exuding the same unapproachable sense of being as ever.

The room was warm, even a little comforting, for any of the tired, weary masses found in Landel's halls, or even those who just craved a little peace and quiet. All he could hear, from end of the room, were soft footfalls and hushed voices. That sounded just fine to the 'berry head.

"Belkan tradition?" Ed said, looking puzzled. He'd never heard of that. There were different traditions of alchemy of course. Xing called it pharmacy and tended towards healing with it, while other alchemists kept to small unobtrusive things; hedgewitches they were sometimes called. But this 'Belkan' tradition...

"Well," he began, with slight trepidaiton. "I have someone coming to my room tonight so I can teach him. You could always come too? I can at least show you how it works, although this place blocks powers."

"The lost arts of a dead civilization. Very mysterious." Reinforce wiggled her fingers very nondemonstratively. She actually wasn't opposed to teaching him something back in principle- though it would be strange to do so without unison- but she remained wary of giving anyone information that might allow them to manipulate her/the Book.

"I'll try to make it." If she ran into a skirmish like last night, she might end up otherwise occupied. To her this was mostly to satisfy curiosity... a very strong curiosity, but not so strong as to supercede her responsibilities.

Ed's eyes widened before he grinned enthusiastically. "That sound fantastic! I've looked a little into older civilisations myself, trying to find out certain things about alchemy." He'd always loved reading, and his tory was no exception. He found it fascinating to discover how alchemy had changed over the centuries.

He nodded. "My room is M28 if you do come."
