Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kari kicked her legs that hung off the edge of the bed, her hair splattered behind her head. She looked around the room, the only thing visable in it was the dresser and small end table. The room suddenly became how they were, simple, boring; but that's what they deserved after a hellish day right?
She scratched her head, sitting up and looking at Al while leaning on the palm of her hands which she placed behind her torso. "I don't know, anything I guess." Suddenly she felt a bit guilty, her hand going to strip of her hair, holding onto the end while she curled it in her fingers. Kari felt like a child, someone who had to be entertained all day long, is that what she wanted? Especially since Edward was sick, and all because of her. "Let's just go back to sleep," her voice was monotoned, bored and dreary as she plopped onto her back again, turning on her side and facing the wall with the window.

She sat up again, her skin feeling hot and jumpy, eager to do something but she tried to keep her cool; which just made her cheeks flush. "Maybe we could go pick up Alyss," she ran her hand through her bangs, pushing them back before pressing her forehead against the wall - the condensation cooling the area down severly. "Ed can stay here though, since he's sick and all."

Kari turned her head, making her bangs move around against the glass and become a bit wet as well. "You can't go, you're still sick." She leaned back, sitting up straight as she sighed stress out of her body.
"You can just stay here, it's not like anything will happen." Kari's face became meek, realizing that it might have not been the best thing to say but it was already said. She rubbed her cheek bone, feeling as it turned a bit red with her own internal anger. "We're just picking up a cat, it'll take an hour and you can just sleep some more."

Kari shrugged, having given it her best shot on why Ed should just stay there; but all the reasons did seem true to her. "And moving around will make you sicker," at that thought she frowned, proud of herself that it was indeed a true fact; plus another good reason for him to stay.

Kari tilted her head down, seeing that Ed had begun to grow furious with everything she said. She sighed and turned her head, rolling her eyes and getting ready for a scolding; but it didn't turn out that way.
She heard the noises before she actually saw them, Alphonse standing up and then a loud clank when Ed hit his armor. That's when Kari redirected her attention, turning her head and standing up - even though she was on the bed. "Idiot," She hopped off the bed, giving Alphonse access to put him on the bed. When he was on there she leaned over, feeling his forehead. "He's still sick, maybe we should just go get him some medicine?" Kari scratched her cheek, standing up straight and looking at Al. Something that could bring down his fever."
Kari looked back at Ed, putting her hands on her hips before switching to crossing her arms. The plan to get Alyss back seemed a bit over, she didn't really want to leave Ed when he was sick like this.

Kari listened to Al, sitting on the bed next to Ed and puffing up her cheeks. But he left before she could say anything, her attention drawn to him as he opened and closed the door - going off.
The bed moved a bit and she turned back to Ed, seeing him sit up as she lifted her hands to try and coax him back down; but she stopped when he started talking.

Her face became puzzled, even more after his second statement. "Ed," and then he laid back down, making her sigh and grab the cloth to slap it back on his head. She leaned over him, her expression not pleased or sympathetic as she rubbed his bangs back. "It's not that big of a deal and I'm still here anyways."

Kari just shrugged it off, in reality it didn't matter to her as much as it probably did to Ed. From her view it would happen sooner or later and she'd rather it be for good causes; not for a nobody who wanted her brother back and definetly not for Father's uses. "I don't know why you're upset over it, I'm not dead, I'm still here."

Kari sat there, putting her head in her hands and her elbows on her knees. Her eyes diverted to Ed and she sighed, listening to his words. "Ok, Ed. Just go to sleep, everything is alright." She didn't know what to say to him, all she wanted to do was coax him into going to sleep.
Feeling bored again she stood up, bending over him and feelinig his head. "I'll be right back ok?" She pulled away from him, going over and slipping on her flat shoes before turning back just a bit; keeping her hand on the wall to steady herself. "I'm just going to go get you some medicine, don't worry. I'll be back soon."

With Ed gone and quiet, things just weren't the same. In reality she sort of missed his short temper, but all he had now was a bad case of drowsy sickness.
Kari sighed, putting her hands together behind her back and stepping down the stairs quickly to go down the mainstreet.

The city was bustling, way more than it first had been when she came here for the first time. She scratched her cheek, her heart thumping a bit as she became embarrassed that she didn't know any stores; let alone any medicines.
With a squishy stomach she began to make her rounds, going to the shops and asking what medicine was best a fever. She was told many things but she knew that they all were trying to just coax her into buying. Kari dropped her hands, groaning frowning as she tried to walk to the other side of central and look for more shops.

Kari took a shortcut, walking down an alley to get closer to the other side; but she stopped. The alleyway was filled with smoke, she waved her hand around, blowing the smoke out of her face as she walked down a smaller quarter of the alley.
"Scar," She came upon a smaller quarter, sealed by a gate which she had pushed open. "What are you doing here?"
Scar was sitting on the floor, starting a fire with a few straggly pieces of wood. He looked up at her, then looked back at his fire. "What are you doing here?"

Kari's heart became estatic, her body immediantly moving to Scar and sitting down next to him; taking his sparking rocks and keeping the fire strong. "I came here with alchemists, we're staying together." At this Scar lifted his eyebrow, his stance still the same while his eyes looked at the fire. "State Alchemists?" Kari nodded, putting the spark rocks down on the floor with a clack. "Yes, State Alchemist Edward Elric."

Scar leaned back against the wall, his facial expression blank but anyone who knew could tell that it was a secret scowl. "They're good guys, have you met them." Scar ignored her for a moment, putting his head against the back wall as he looked up at the cement ceiling. "We crossed paths before."

Kari swallowed, becomming a bit sick with the idea of Ed and Scar meeting; she wanted to ask what happened but she didn't want to think of it. "They don't deserve to die."
"That's not for you to decide."

Kari ignored him as well, standing up and brushing off her dress which needed cleaning. "I need medicine, to bring down a fever. Do you know where I can get it?" He looked at her, sitting up straighter. "There's a good shop on the western side of central, go there." Kari grinned, clasping her hands together before tackling Scar; who wasn't surprised by her sudden burst of affection. "Thank you!" She kept her grin up while her hands stayed together, as her body left his. "Don't worry, I'll come back. I'll help you out too." At this Scar let out a breath of air through his nose, Kari taking it as a sign of his non-caring but she didn't care either; she was just happy to see him.

After a few more words she left, skipping down to the western side of central like Scar had suggested before going back to the base.
Things had gone smoother than she thought, and Kari found herself humming happily as she stepped up the singular steps back to Ed's room.

"I'm baaack," She sing-songed her arrival, still feeling giddy that she had met her old time friend. "Here, sit up for a moment Ed." She walked over to the bed, popping open the little bag she had gotten with the medicine in it before she sat down on the edge of the bed. "I got this for you, take it."

Kari grinned at his dislike for the medicine, giggling a little bit before standing up and going over to the dresser - sealing it up back into the bag.
She walked back, sighing again as she grabbed the wash cloth and slapped it back onto his forehead. "I know you don't like it but you're going to have to take it every hour, it'll work and you'll feel better."

She sat down, feeling lazy before she finally laid down next to him and sighed. All his sickness just because he was worried. "Gosh Ed, you're like an old man." At this she snorted, putting her eyes into the inner corner of her elbow while she laughed a bit. "You need to let loose."

Kari looked at him, removing her arm from her face while she raised her eyebrows. "Yeah that's true, but I have a feeling that you don't always obey; bad dog." She turned on her side, facing away from him while she tucked her hands under her head.
"I mean Colonel Mustang wasn't exactly giddy with glee when you brought me back," Her stomach flipped, feeling like she was stepping in illegal territory. She was one-hundred precent sure that Mustang had told them about whatever they got from her. First because of the questions he asked himself, and then when they came back Alphones interrogated her too.

She grabbed Ed pillow, pressing her face and groaning yelled muffles before she lifted her head and elevated her upper body by her elbows. "You've met Scar?" The thought had been on her mind since she left him, thinking about how they crossed paths but secretly not wanting to know what happened. Besides, it was an OK topic change, at least it got them talking about something other than herself.
