The search party gathers!

Content: The search party... well, searches, i guess.
Setting: F3
Time:
Warnings: Ed will probably swear a lot...


Ed ran full-tilt, or as close to it as he could with kind-of-crappy automail, dragging Pride by the wrist as his head whipped around left and right, trying to spot white fur. "ALEXANDER!" he shouted, hoping maybe the dog would find him, or at least bark.

As he rounded a corner, stumbling slightly but still running, he saw the large, white dog standing amid the milling locals, looking frantic. "ALEXANDER!" he shouted again, skidding, and nearly falling as he tried to avoid colliding violently with the sheepdog.

He dropped Pride's wrist now that they'd arrived and dropped to his knees in front of Alexander, grabbing at his ruff. "Oh fuck, I'm sorry! I should have been here!" he knew that getting hysterical wouldn't help anything, but he couldn't seem to stop his rapid, agitated breathing or the pointless apologies to a dog from spilling out of his mouth.

Sad again, then noise and angry, and Edward was all the time everywhere hard to keep up. Pride stayed silent simple easy and like he always was, his only connection to the conversation his vicinity and his hand in Edward's, and some mention of a girl he only knew by one face on a little box.

The same sort of little box that Edward had now, and his eyes followed it as if it held meaning, so perhaps it did, which caught Pride's interest and led identical, glassy eyes to follow the same.
