Anytime, Al. Anything to distract from the way Edmund had thoroughly embarrassed himself with how ridiculously cute he found his new host. Maps, yes, maps were good. He considered the sketch and where this Amestris was compared with Xing, along with all the names Al had just rattled off. The short version was just fine for now. He knew things could get a little complicated, especially with the way this magic - no, alchemy and alkahestry - business worked.
He smiled slightly and put his hand reassuringly on Al's wrist. "I'm sure you will, in time. You're a smart fellow, and you don't give up easily, do you? Those two traits together bode well for your friends. I look forward to meeting them."
His lunch was nearly all gone by now; Edmund had been hungrier than he'd realized, and nudged the remaining food on Al's plate (he'd left most of it) back over to the other. "Now, I don't want to wear you out or anything, but on your next day, do you think we could do a bit of exploring around town? You could show me your university and anywhere else you like to go. It's one of the best things about traveling - all the new places to explore." Edmund's dark eyes danced a little.
