Summary: “You know,” Edward said, straddling the branch between his legs. “It can’t really hurt us.”
“You know,” Edward said, straddling the branch between his legs. “It can’t really hurt us.”
“Yeah?” Somehow, Roy had managed to climb higher, and faster than Edward, although the branch he had settled on was thinner, and wobbled far more than Edward’s own safe perch. “Then why don’t you go down there and settle things with it, tough guy?"
"Don’t be a dick, Mustang.” Edward kicked his feet in the air, staring down at the forest floor beneath them. “You go talk to it, you’ve got that diplomacy thing down, right? You deal with it."
"Because diplomacy works on fucking BEARS.” Roy’s tone was derisive and despite the situation, Edward was really starting to find the whole thing quite hilarious. Roy, who was usually so - well, ROY, losing his cool over this - this was going to keep him entertained for weeks. “You’re the one who hit him with a fucking rock!"
Well, Mustang did have a valid point there. Although he was only throwing the rock at a tree, and had not expected a large black bear to rise from the bushes while the projectile was in mid-air. "Honest mistake,” Edward said.
The tree shook ominously. Edward leaned out, both hands on the branch for balance, and watched as the bear stood up against the trunk, huge meaty paws ready to clobber him senseless into the next season. “You know bears can climb trees, right?"
The noise Roy made told him that no, Roy was not aware of this fact and Edward grinned up at him. "Did you forget we have wings, and can fly?” Edward asked cheekily, and the glare Roy gave him would have curdled cheese.
This was turning out to be quite the memorable trip after all. And he had had such low expectations today!
