Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kari watched Alphonse run out of the room, leaving the door open and making Michael and Daniel duck their heads inside. With a sigh she stood up, following after Al and going into Ed's hospital room.
She found him sprawled on the bed, the room smelling like cleansing fumes while next to him was a small tray of food. She stood next to Al, looking down at Ed and scratching her cheek. "He's out of it," Kari ran her hands through her hair, looking down at Ed who was drug induced with painkillers.

Kari smiled, chuckling at the idea before looking at the tray. "If there's anything he should drink it should be this milk." She lifted the small glass bottle up, looking as it sloshed around before putting it back down. "Maybe it'll help him grow more," She looked back at him, snorting at her own joke.
"Well, I guess there are consequences for everything." She sighed as well, mimicking Alphonse's as she thought about her own consequences; them resembling in Ed's state.

Kari chuckled at this, her eyebrows pulled up in worry before she bent down a bit and put her hand on his forehead. "Well, he's just drugged up. He's warm but it doesn't feel bad, so they probably gave him antibiotics too." She let out a tiny sigh, feeling a better that he was taking medicine; even if it was against his will.
She slid her hand down to his neck, feeling how warm it was and comparing it mentally to the heat of his forehead; they were the same. "It's a little hard to tell if it's body heat or the fever but he'll be fine." She spun around, landing awkwardly at the end of the bed next to his feet, getting a whole area to herself.

"Even though Central is the most talked about place, there's not really much to it." Kari shrugged her arms, sighing before she heard the doors of the resting room open - the doctor coming in.

Kari nodded, her face skeptical, but that's how she was around everyone; on guard, nervous, protective. She rubbed the side of her arm, cringing as she thought about the way he got those wounds. She wondered if the doctor had seen worse, but they must have because she pertained to the military. "Thank you, miss." She ceased her cringing, looking up to give a small smile that baffled her in how she could pull it off.

Kari put on a smile, showboating just for the two of them, but still she couldn't help but feel that his injuries were somehow part of her fault. Maybe the rescue was clumsy but she helped, in her own clumsy way.
"I, I think I'm going to go see what Daniel and Michael are up too." She walked over to the small turning table where Ed's tray of food laid, her fingertips hooking onto it and spinning it near his bed. "Here, while I'm gone you can drink your milk." She snorted at her own joke, walking out of the room with a quick wave of her hand.

Walking into the waiting room was a bit weird, seeing loved ones scorning themselves over the people that were landed in the hospital made her feel bad, but what made her feel weird was the fact that she got a peak at Daniel and Michael's soft sides. The two had taken it upon themselves to play with the younger kids, stacking blocks, coloring and even playing patty-cake with them. But once she stepped foot into the room some more Daniel stood up quickly, huffing out his embarrassment through his nose. "You're out, how is he?"
She laughed a bit, seeing that he was just using Ed as a topic changer, while Michael had dissmissed himself from the children's table nicely; saying that he would play with them another time.
"Listen, I know this might be the wrong thing to say...but." Kari stopped, putting her head down while she poked her fingers together and looked up bashfully, seeing that Daniel had already crossed his arms - the slightly angered beginning to take ahold of his face.

"I have to leave," she paused, looking up and cringing just a bit at Daniels face; but it wasn't mad at all. He was surprised, his eyebrows pulled up while he fingered his raven hair. "What do you mean leave? To where?"
Kari coughed a fake cough, licking her lips with a nervous swish to her stomach. "I, well I can't stay here in anymore. At least, I can't have contact with Ed and Al anymore. I have to...I have to disband myself from them." She stood up straighter, erecting her back more as she spoke; trying to seems strong and tall without knowing if she could pull it off.

"Fine, I'll notify Mustang of your abs--"
"No! No! He...he can't know, it's a secret. No one can. You can tell them I over powered you or something, you know, make up a lie. I don't care," She shrugged it off, shaking her head and waving her hand through the air to dissmiss their proposals. "It's just something I have to do, for their sake."
Both of the "guards" became silent, looking at each other while Kari's stomach kept flopping. But she wasn't going to let them decide.
She began to back up, walking slowly to the exit and giving them a pleading looking. Their looks became stoic with a bit of surprised mixed into it, not really thinking that she was serious; but she was.

They were in front of the hospital, at the very base of it near the stairs. Kari had her backpack strapped to her, like always, but now she held an obscene amount of money.
"Just take it, It'll take you to where you need to go."
Kari held the money in both her hands, her eyes looking down at it. It was their own money, their money that they had worked for when working for the military. Of course it wasn't all of it, but it was a decent chunk; maybe a months worth.

"I don't think I could take this," she looked back up, the money tightly clenched in her hand while she huffed out a small sigh. "Then we'll say you stole it," Daniel shrugged his shoulders, his arms crossed against his chest. "It's fine, just take it."
Kari was speechless, unsure of what to say. Were they just trying to kick her out, or were they really being kind?
She wanted to give them a hug, to thank them dearly, but looking back down at the money she held back for some reason. She tapped her foot, her eyes watering to the point where she held up the money to cover half of her face, the bills resting just beneath her nose. Even though her eyes were still visible at least her smile wasn't. "Thank you."

And then she was gone, walking away and shoving the money into a safe place. Going down to the trainstation and boarding the first train that came there right away.
The train to Rush Valley.

Upon entering Mustang's office you would see two things.
One, Daniel and Michael standing infront of his desk with their heads slightly down. Two, Mustang standing by his window looking furious. But the latter wasn't that abnormal.
Mustang sweeped around, turning a bit and looking back while his fingertips were pressed against his temples.

Seeing the Elric brothers didn't make him exactly feel better, but it didn't make him feel worse; it just left him in the same furiated motion.
"I'll deal with you two later."

Daniel and Michael lifted their heads, saluting Mustang without saying a word and walking out.
The Colonel quickly took his seat, looking at the duo and putting his hands together. "I'm sure you already know the news, correct?"
