[Well it had been a good two or so weeks since...'Ling' had come into her house. She was beginning to wonder if giving him that name had really been a good idea. In fact sometimes she wondered if it had been a good idea to create him to begin with, at least in his image, but there was little she could do about that now.

It was a rainy day, and she wasn't particularly feeling up to doing any tinkering today so she was divested of her usual lab coat and instead just in a white tank and shorts. The house seemed unusually quiet, something it hadn't been since Ling appeared, so she made her way over to his room and gave a knock]

Ling?

[slightly embarrassed smile, what must he think so far as to try and create something in his image?]

Me and a bottle of granny's best brew, but. Yea.

... [He smiles ...but it turns sad after a few moments. She must have really missed him if she went that far.]

Hey. It's alright. Don't look like that. [she brushes his cheeks] It's a thing of the past now.

... [Nods.]

[Pauses.]

I- What has ...become of my family?

[endthiscycle.livejournal.com]

They're still where they use to live.

They. I mean, I haven't talked to them in a long time.

((ooc; am AIMless, but I went and put up a plurk if you want to flesh out details))

I see. [He would have to avoid that area, he supposed. As much as he missed his family, he didn't want to see what them seeing him again after so much grief could do.]

And-- you. What have ....you been doing all these years? Catch me up.

..mm. It's been four years. [she skips over the first couple months after his death, not wanting to depress him or herself with recalling that]

I finished school early, and moved on to tech school to learn some techniques outside of Granny. I completed that when I was twenty, and have been granted research funds. I work on commissions on the side and just moved into this place a couple months ago.

...I haven't really done too much other than that. Mostly have just kept to my work. Ed and Al keep in touch but they are traveling for their own studies, so I don't see them too often.
