Distance never seperates two hearts that really care

There had been times when Winry had gone above ground to do some foraging with others--always with others, she had been watched over like a hawk her entire time in this place. Not that she could blame them. Many of those times there had been run in with Kishin Eggs, so she had thought that she would be at least a little more prepared for this upcoming battle to retrieve the Time Record.

Boy had she been wrong.

Even now, with the Time Record in their possessions, and the center of the factory quiet she could feel her heart pounding, the fear pulsating through her, and the sensation of loss that made her emotional state erratic and indiscernible. It was all made worse by the knowledge that this was only a calm in a storm that could very well continue. They maybe have made their way into the factory by catching the Witches off guard, but that didn't mean they had fully captured it. Any moment now reinenforcements could come in so there really wasn't much time to spare.

She was sitting on the floor, leaning against a wall. The others were still saying their goodbyes, most people had already come to her to give her letter and messages to pass on, say their own goodbyes. She managed to keep a strong enough face, a difficult thing to do, but something she had gotten a lot of practice in doing the past couple months.

Easily the thing that he was most aware of at the moment was the pain. Not just physical - though that by itself was no small thing (the doctor really hadn't been kidding about fighting being a bad idea, huh?), but...this. After spending ten years waiting and hoping, the two months seemed to have passed like the blink of an eye, and now.

Now they were looking another separation right in the eye.

It was hard to look at her - and at the same time, he couldn't look away - but he walked up to her, sitting down beside her and leaning his head back against the wall.

"You're doing alright?"
