[Listen, Roy. Now is not the time for jokes, and Ed's gloomy demeanor more or less leaks through the telepathy despite his effort to keep the communication neutral.]

I need to know more about what happened in Amestris. [there's a small pause, accompanied by the slightest bit of hesitation.] It's about Pride.

[weaponsgrade]

[Oh. Well, that pretty much deflates any attempt at teasing Edward.]

Yeah, all right. Whatever you want to know, Fullmetal. [Hey, he's learned his lesson about keeping secrets.]

[renkinjutsu]

I'd rather do this in person but I don't really feel like hunting you down in a park.

What happens to pride? Something's different about him, and he seems to know more about what happened than I do. It's got something to do with me.

[He's trying not to jump to conclusions here, but he might be just a LITTLE worried.]

[weaponsgrade]

[Sudden questions. Pride spoke with Ed, it sounds like, and Pride's good at messing with people.]

What do you mean 'what happens?' [A pause.] I was there, Edward, but I may not have the answers you're looking for. I wasn't exactly at my best.

[renkinjutsu]

I mean what happens dammit! [That doesn't clarify anything, but Ed's pretty sure it's CLEAR ENOUGH.]

Do I... [it may be telepathy but it's almost like his voice cracks.] Does he die? How?

[weaponsgrade]

[Roy doesn't answer for a moment, taking in Ed's telepathic 'demeanor' before he speaks.

Well, that does clarify things.]

He doesn't die. He gets a second chance.

boomerangs this cause i'm garbage

[There's a long, almost icy pause that gives way to the impression of a winter forest's first thaw]

...A second chance. [He repeats that second part, followed by a sigh and again, quiet.] Thanks, Colonel.

[weaponsgrade]

[You're welcome, Fullmetal.]

What else do you need to know?

[renkinjutsu]

...No. Nothing right now. I'll get back to you.

[At some point. Right now he has a lot to think about and figure out.]
