[It's probably an accurate assessment that Edward is not any real threat to the Nest. He might have a history of going toe-to-toe with 'monsters', but that was before two years of poor living and depression had taken a toll on his body. He's not weak by any means, but the reflexes and strength he had before have diminished, and he's without his alchemy to back him up here in Ryslig. If Greed were really pissed, Ed would be a smear on the wall in very short order.]
[He casts Stocke a grateful look before they continue on, paying attention to their surroundings and path as they wind further into the less savory districts. He's not too surprised by the disrepair, but the scorch marks attract looks of confusion and some concern. When they pass the rings of salt he snorts in distain--as if those sorts of old superstitions would ever protect anyone!]
[As they get closer, though, Ed can feel a lump of worry and nerves settling in his chest. What was he thinking, asking to be taken to the guy he'd murdered and called a monster, accused of crimes he'd never committed? Greed may have walked into that fight knowing he was going to die, but he surely must still hate Ed for treating him the way he did. And what changes had this place wrought on the man, already twisted by alchemy and man's hubris as he was? He was regretting this more and more with every moment, but he couldn't turn away now.]
absolutely!! so much glee rn
