At first it felt like he was making no progress at all, faced with endless days in bed and too weak to even lift himself properly. But he determined that he wouldn't fret about it, he wouldn't complain, not when he finally had what he wanted so dearly. So he tried to be happy, not that it was difficult, and let things happen in their own time.
Now that his patience was finally beginning to pay off, Al was enjoying pushing his limits and exploring his new capabilities. He wasn't sleeping as much, he was eating more, and he had even taken steps under his own power.
It was a sharp clap that woke him early that morning. A clap he recognised instantly, and would always recognise all his life long. He waited for the sing of transmutation, though deep inside he knew it wouldn't come. He just angled his head to look across at Ed, the darkness on his face going straight to his heart.
He didn't speak, just watched and waited in guilty silence.]
