"Amazing, it's a miracle!" The owner turned his gaze back to the two. "You've been touched by the Sun God just like Father Cornello!"
"Touched by who now..?" The confidence radiating from Edward changed to puzzlement, shoulders slacking and looking at the owner as if he had lost his mind. "It's not a miracle, it's alchemy," Al explained, a hint of humor added to his voice. The onlookers looked to the armored body with realization, and one of them spoke aloud, "Oh, so you two are alchemists. Right, I've heard of them."
"Well, maybe you've heard of us then!" Edward drew himself back up (though was momentarily distracted by a sudden commotion behind him. Seeing that it was only a clutzy female, he chose to ignore it and continue on), crossing his arms and a somewhat cocky grin upon his visage. "We're the Elric Brothers!" Just behind him, Al also managed a stance.
"The Elric Brothers you say?" The owner considered.
"Wait, I do know that name," Added in one villager.
"The Fullmetal Alchemist. Edward Elric isn't that right?" Said another with a little more enthusiasm.
Edward stood where he was, clearly enjoying the reaction. A lot of excited mumbling took up, but it all wasn't going toward him. Instead the attention went to Al, who was momentarily dragged away by the crowd and trying to escape. "No, um, it's not me" he tried telling them. At the statement a hush fell the crowd, and they gazed back to Edward. "What? You mean it's the little guy there?"
Suddenly Ed's eyes flashed with anger, and he began thrashing and throwing things at the crowd shouting out all the while, "Who's little, come say that to my face I dare ya!!!"
Meanwhile, free of the crowd, Alphonse took notice of the dog that had walked up to him. "Aw, hello there," he said to him. Kneeling down, he rose a hand to stroke the dog's head. "Where did you come from?" During all the commotion in the stand, neither brother noticed the run away thief, though practically everything was impossible to hear over Ed's shouting.
