Apparently he was both a brick and the dote of the co-eds at Oxford. Al's color matched Edmund's, right up to the tip of his ears, and beneath the table his toes were scuffing the floor. Other people had said similar things, ever since he'd gotten his body back. He'd heard from almost everyone how handsome he looked. But he didn't understand it. He'd been without a body for so long that he was just glad to smell and taste and hear things.
Gratefully, he seized on the map again. Distraction! Thanks for asking questions, Edmund.
"Uhm, well. My teacher, May -- she came to visit Amestris, and when she came home, I followed her so that I could learn Alkahestry. My friends -- Zampano and Jerso, you'll meet them soon -- they're sick." Not exactly, but it was easier than explaining the truth. Not his secret to reveal. "I promised to help them. And I need to learn Alkahestry if I'm going to!" Jerso and Zampano had stayed by his side as he fought to fix his body. He couldn't do any less for them!
