open to anyone that would venture into the bookstore.

[If anything could stay in business in a city overrun by Elrics it was a book store or a restaurant. And it was with that mentality that they'd decided to open one.

Not that Ed had much to do with the actual 'running' of the store, spending most of her time draped on an overstuffed chair and reading their product instead. Even if she did do a lot of the paperwork after the place was locked up for the evening.

At the moment she was busily avoiding Roy, tail swishing back and forth - draped over the arm of the chair and nearly scraping the floor. Flipping to the next page of the book in hand as if reading in the privacy and comfort of her own home, golden ears flicked back with a lazy yawn.]

[ On the few chances he returns to Central, there's always one or two places he usually goes. The first of these is the Central Library's First Branch (if he can wangle the permission from Lt. Hawkeye or someone else, but who really would say no to the famous Fullmetal Alchemist's little brother?). Afterward, it's usually either a cafe or a bookstore. He never keeps the books for long, usually selling them in the next town he carries no suitcase and has no place to keep them. But with a mind as intelligent as his, it's not hard for him to remember the contents of the books he's read. Perhaps it's some innate ability. He doesn't know where it came from.

Right about now, he's meandering his way through the streets of Central, crimson hood pulled up over his head to avoid getting snowflakes in his long lashes. It's getting colder out and really, he should start looking for an inn to stay in. But what catches his attention first is the warm glow of lights inside a bookstore. It's newer and he doesn't remember it from the last time he was in Central. Still, it wouldn't hurt to take a look.

Pulling the door open and stepping inside, Al reaches up to shake the snow off his hood before tugging it down. There are still flakes that glimmer, melting on his bangs and in the warmth of the store, but he ignores them in favor for peering around the place. ]

Hello?

[He had been taking care of the store, keeping himself busy although it was far more relaxing here than from the world they were from. The majority of his time had been spent teasing his sacrifice, stealing a few fleeting touches or kisses when he could, and it wasn't about to stop now.]

[Roy moved around another shelf to where you were, his fingertips tracing down along your back to the base of your tail, flicking over the fur that peeked from your clothing.] Need any help?
