No, nothing like that. Nobody was ever jealous that I know of, people were just surprised that someone so young had been allowed to take the test.

[Surprise that often annoyed Ed, because it usually came hand in hand with them calling him little.]

Hey, if he can do it, then why not? His age really shouldn't matter.

[ She pauses. ]

Are you an Alchemist, too?

[armoured]

Definitely, but I'm not state certified.

[He probably could have been, he and Ed are similarly matched in skill, but there had been no need for them both to do it.]

[ninjainviolet]

[ And that's actually what she's thinking. ]

Because one of you had already passed the test? That makes sense.

Is Alchemy hard to learn?

[armoured]

Yeah, it's a very complicated discipline of chemistry that takes years to understand fully.

[And nobody is ever wholly proficient in it.]

[ninjainviolet]

[ That's what she thought. ]

And both of you studied it and could pass the test at a young age?

[ Yep. She's impressed and it shows in her voice. ]

I bet your teachers were proud of you.
