Ed took the notebook with a raised eyebrow as Jay looked him over. "I'd question how well I knew you if I thought you hadn't." He didn't comment on the bruise, at least not right away. "So, how much did you figure out? Might need to do a better job next time." Not that he's planning on there being a next time. "You need a mortgage to buy the house?"

At the question he just waved a hand, typical dismissive Elric behavior. "Yeah, I got things sorted. Now I need to take care of this and I'll be all set." He had to get a new network name and a few other things handled but he wasn't worried about it. Getting this far was the hard part as far as he as concerned.

"Back to bar fights? I'm not going to come back to broken glass again, am I?" No, he's never letting him live that down. Not as long as he remembered it anyway, so this would probably be the last jab about it.
