"Alphonse, accompany me on a walk." Hohenhiem says as he gets up from the chair he was seated at.
"Okay!" Alphonse replies, getting up from his chair too.
"Go check on Edward, if you will." Hohenhiem says to you.
"Right." You make your way to the stairs again. You watch them exit and close the door behind them. You find yourself lost in thought, as you remain seated on the bottom step.

"Now Alphonse, tell me this, are you in that suit of armor?" Hohenhiem asks, as he looks over the suit of armor that he used to keep in his study.
"I um.. Er.. We.." Alphonse stuttered over his sounds and words,
not sure of what to tell his father about their sin.
"You really did try human transmutation, didn't you?" Hohenhiem questioned on, interest never leaving his face.
"Yes.." Alphonse said in a regretful sigh, "I lost my whole body and brother lost his right arm and left leg.."
"Edward managed to bond your soul to this armor?" Hohenhiem asked, as if to just let it be known that he is marveling at Edward's skills, since it was already painfully obvious what had happened.
Alphonse took his head into his hands, turning towards his father then bending over slightly so he can point to his blood seal, "brother drew this seal with his own blood, he saved my soul from being sucked into that gate him and teacher always go on about."
"You don't remember it?" Hohenhiem asks, shocked at the sight of the blood seal drawn with blood.
"I don't.." Alphonse responds, placing his head gently back into place.
"Interesting.." Hohenhiem says quietly, as he takes his chin into one of his hands, thinking over all the information he just gathered.

"Hey (y/n), where is everyone?" Edward says as he walks down the steps, glancing over at you, sitting on the first step not moving.
"Hey Ed.. Al and your father went for a walk, Winry and granny are preparing dinner I think." you respond calmly, not turning to look at Edward, leaving your chin in your hands while you faced ever forward.
"A walk?" Edward asks as he plops down next to you.
