[His gaze lowers at the touch, glancing at Al curiously. The lost memories from the effects over the city meant he wasn't so resistant to touching his brother, not when the flashbacks of killing him didn't surface every time he even thought of it - but he didn't forget everything. He knew that this version of his brother was more touchy than the others, he had to wonder briefly if it was because he was younger - not by very much, but enough that he hadn't really spent any time with Ed before arriving here. The others had been to Germany, they lived together before Al arrived in Purg.
Either way he tried not to dwell on it, it didn't seem like a detail worth investing too much thought in. Al was Al and he wasn't about to start reading too much into his every action. As long as he was there, and happy to be there, Ed was just as glad.
At the other's words he shoves the thought aside that despite them, Ed knew that Al wanted to go home. Return to a world with the brother he left behind there, and sometimes Ed wondered if he could ever really be sure that was his own future and not some alternate reality he'd never have. Abandoning his brother for some alien world was such a difficult concept for him to grasp, he almost didn't believe it could be something he'd do.
He shifted, leaning against Al some with a content sigh, determined to just enjoy things for a change and take whatever else as it came with a faint smile.]
We do have that... and anything that does, we'll get through it together. Like we always do.
