[ Action: 913 Bilko Boulevard. Morning. ]

[ Once again Ed wakes up somewhere that is not his own house. Still Mayfield, the room looks the same, but it's not his. His head is pounding and his stomach is rolling and for the love of... WHY IS IT SO BRIGHT IN HERE? He rubs at his eyes and groans before bending over and holding his head in his hands. ]

What... Ugh... I think my head is going to explode.

Mmmn... [ Diana makes a small noise, opening her eyes slightly before yawning loudly. She's stayed by Ed's side the entire night and didn't get much sleep herself. ] Here. It'll help. [ She hands him a glass of water that's been on her dresser for a while. ]

[ That was not a voice he was expecting to hear. He moves way too fast as he sits up and he winces, wishing very much that he was still asleep. After a moment, he groggily takes the glass of water, his brow furrowed in confusion. ]

Thanks.... I...

What's going on? Why are you...? [ Words. Sentences. He is trying to form them, but his head hurts too much. ]

I took you home, here, last night. I saw that you weren't feeling too well after drinking the punch that was spiked, so I decided to take you somewhere that you'd be safe. [ She notices the movement and shakes her head. ] Just take it slowly, okay? Don't take too much on once here.

... And I, well... took care of you. [ That part's grumbled a little, but she's smiling a little bit. ]

[ He's thinking. It hurts, but he's thinking. Punch? What punch? When did he drink any pun --

Oh. Oh. DAMN IT. Did he honestly... He can't remember most of the night, but he remembers going to homecoming and he remembers have a bit of punch and.... Way to go Ed. Way to get completely smashed. ]

Damn it, I'm...

Sorry, I just...

... Thanks.

Don't mention it. I'd rather you'd be safe instead of harmed, especially when your guard's down. [ She moves a bit, hearing her joints crack a bit. Bad posture will do that to you. ] Want me to give you breakfast in bed?

N-no you don't have to do that. Really.

Don't worry about it. [ She turns to give him a little smile. While she's just exhausted, she knows that people generally do not move that well while being hungover. ]

[ Nope. Moving would be a bad idea right now, but Ed feels kind of terrible about all of this. ] I'll be fine. You've done enough for me as it is.

But yet, if I were to use equivalent exchange, you've helped me out this far with alchemy. As well as other things. [ The last part is muttered. ] So, consider this my part of returning what was given to me. [ There's a slight smirk at the end. ]

[ .... and then he just grins. There is no arguing with that. ] Fair enough.

I'm glad, then. Make yourself comfortable and I'll be back soon. [ She leaves her room to make some breakfast - all of which will be very healthy, but yet fulfilling. She's sure it'll make her fellow housemates suspicious as to why she's cooking breakfast, but hey - she has to pull her own weight around here, too.

Though, maybe she should've warned Ed about Mokou... Or Nall. Whoopsies. ]

[ Phone/Filtered from Drones ]

If you're looking for Edward Elric, don't worry - he's at my house and he is safe. Due to the lovely efforts to spike the punch at homecoming, he was one of the victims. To those of you who did spike it, please be at least somewhat original. That gag is old by now.

( OOC: Permission was given to put Ed in here. :D If you want either unexculpable or notalwystrthful, specify it in the subject line and they'll tag you back! The morning action is for housemates and anyone visiting and the phone is completely open. Enjoy! )
