[The date, 3rd of October, has him feeling rather pensive again. Just as he thought he would figure dealing with Father, getting Al his body back, he is yanked back here again. It's.....frustrating, to put it lightly. As much as he wants to scream at Viv to send him back. He knows he must have been pulled back here to help. That they need him. That Ed maybe hasn't done enough. Gathered enough orbs to earn that reward yet of getting Al back. Yet.

He sits in the sunlight room, pocket watch open at his lap if anyone approaches but he does turn on the feed.]

You think this will work? Gathering the orbs? To fix things? Is it worth it? I just feel like I've been trying to fix things for so long, not just here, but back home too. I feel like I was so close, and I got pulled back here again. And I can't help wondering. With some of the missions. The goals they give us. If at some point I might get something, some line I won't want to cross. For as much as I do want to fix things.

[He sighs, shaking his head as he isn't sure what more to say in his musings. In his worries. He figures even that much might be too much. That he might end up regretting even that. So he ends it there.]

That's alright - point is, that makes you unique, you know? Folks need all sorts to keep an operation like this goin', an' you give somethin' special. I think, if you ever run into a line you can't cross, our bosses'll listen when you put your foot down to keep you around.

[Clayton is still very new and doesn't quite understand that there's something else running the show when it comes to the personal mission stuff. Surely they're just here to make good impressions on Viveca and Degar, right?]

I guess. I'm the only alchemist here. I hadn't really thought about it, I just. Want to do what I can to help Alphonse.

[dr_unconscious]

And you are - just by bein' here. You're here for him and you're here for everybody else. That counts for a lot.

Right. At the least. We're trying. I'm trying.
