Al, what are you--how do I know you're not reading it wrong?

[Clearly this is a much more likely possibility than them getting completely lost with Ed's navigational skills at least just this once. Obviously. He all but huffs as he almost half climbs up to get a look at the map himself as well.

Glares at it. Surely this can't be......right. None of those street names seem familiar as ones they had passed. Did they miss one to turn off at somewhere earlier? Or had they been given an old, inaccurate map?]

W-wait....this is?

[Not only that, but the main road on the map which supposedly leads to a station, would be right through a tiny butcher's shop if they were actually where they meant to be.

Al sighs. It's a small, weary, patient sort of sigh.]

I told you we were going the wrong way back at that fountain with the weird statue in the middle of it. Why don't you ever listen to me, Brother?

[braided_icarus]

That doesn't matter now, Al. I'm listening now if you think of any other bright ideas outside the map to get us there before the next train.

[Of course. Of course Ed brushes off the complaints about his not listening to Al. Because that's totally not the point right here and now, not when they're supposedly on a time limit of sorts at least. Even if it might be true and he totally could stand to pay more attention to Alphonse than he does at times. Ed's just stubborn, really.]

Oh, I don't know, Brother. How about we ask someone?!

[Al wasn't usually given to fits of sarcasm, but he is quite frustrated right now. If they'd just asked someone sooner, maybe they wouldn't be in this position now. They're going to miss the train, get told off by Colonel Mustang, and everything will go wrong in a knock on effect.]

[braided_icarus]

Go ahead then, if you really want. Don't blame me if you get some other tourist just as new to this place.

[Because of course he has to be difficult and huffy over it. Simply because this is Ed and that's what he does with the most simple, mundane things. The way he figures it, the later he puts off getting back to Central, the later he puts off meeting Roy again. The longer he goes without seeing that smug face, those teasing remarks the better in his opinion.]
