[ Magnus has brought himself down to the beach to see what this festival is all about. He's still relatively alone in this community, so what better way to meet people than to walk right into the action?
When he sees Ed as he enters, he remembers their... awkward conversation over the phone. He didn't get the most friendly vibes from Ed, honestly, but it looks like Ed is setting up for a social event. Maybe he got the wrong impression about him? Magnus figures it's worth another shot to strike up conversation with this guy and maybe, hopefully, get a more pleasant response. ]
Hey, Edward! How's it going?
[ It's also worth noting that Magnus has seen Ed's automail around communal housing before. As much as he doesn't want to make it weird, he does glance down at his arm in interest, but quickly pulls his gaze away. He's not that tactless. ]
