[Ed still has mixed feelings about leaving early. As grateful as he was for any excuse to do so, he struggled with the whole sense of obligation to stay. Even if he had reasoned that Yuffie would have more fun elsewhere with others regardless of his presence in the building. Besides, it was late enough in the night that the whole thing had to have been wrapping up soon enough anyway, right? Those were all things Ed had thought about when they made the decision to go, and yet it wasn't any easier knowing that she was still upset about it. She hadn't said as much, but he could tell.
His priority was always going to be Al, no matter what - or who - happened in their lives. Like his brother, Ed's own thoughts had a tendency to linger on the fact that nothing about this place was permanent. Even if they were happy to send you back on request (once they figured out how) that didn't stop people from vanishing without said request and that similarity stuck out to the older Elric. He'd seen enough people come and go before, and already - barely here two months - he was seeing people go again, without a word.]
She'll come around, I wouldn't worry about it too much, Al.
[For one, because it was Ed's responsibility to worry about, he had agreed to accompany Yuffie and then left... but also, because it was Yuffie and she did seem to have a way of doing just that. Maybe he was underestimating her, but Ed didn't expect her to hold a grudge for long.]
She can't be too mad after a whole week of beach parties.
