*The long, releasing sigh of the air brakes startled him from his slumber.
Waking up, he rubbed his eyes briefly before raising his arms above his head and releasing a long overdue stretch.
He never did like trains. Oh the scenery was nice, but sitting for hours on end drove Haji nuts. If he had not been ordered to Liore ASAP, he would have been happier just to have walked.
Stepping from the train onto the platform, he took in a deep breath of air and let out a long satisfied sigh. To himself he thought*
~ It's been so long... I haven't set foot in this city since we left so many years ago... That was before.....*He let his thoughts trail off in an attempt to shake away the horrible memories. Once he had regained himself completely, he made his way across the platform and exited the station, quickly fnding himself out in the streets.
It wouldn't take him long to get his berrings. Though the faces and names had changed, the streets never do...
He walked with determined footsteps as he made his where for a boarding house, not far from the station.
Once he arrived, he quickly arranged for a room.
"Third floor; second on left" *the lady at the desk said to him.*
*Taking up his lougage, Haji sat down in a chair located near the window of his room. Removing his coat, he placed it on the table beside him.
He then reached into his suitcase and withdrew a folder and a letter. Reading it over again, Haji sighed..
Pulling a bottle from his bag, he took a long drink, before returning it to his suitcase.
Standing up and looking out the window, Haji thought to himself*
~ I still don't quite understand this... Oh well makes no difference to me one way or the other... I guess I better go ahead and get to looking... Who knows what that "bean sprout" has caused already... ~*The thought made him laugh out loud a little. He loved to give him a hard time, but deep down, Haji really liked Ed. Something about him reminded him of himself. Perhaps it was the fact that they were both looking for something; something that would fill up the empty space...Something that would require a sacrifice...
Grabbing his coat from the table he left the inn and stepped back out into the streets.
Lighting a smoke, he began to walk... Not really sure where to start, but figuring the best place would be at the center of town. At least there he could work his way outward.
As he walked, the outline of an immense building drew clearer. the building was larger than any other around it.
~ I wonder what that place is?... Kinda looks like a government building or a church... ~*He thought to himself. Deciding if for nothing else then sheer curiosity, he walked to the buildin gto check it. out*
(OOC: Oh yes, and sorry to ask, but which storyline are we following? The Manga or the anime? basically I just want to know which Homunculous to expect, as they and the storylines are different.)
