[Ed glances up from what he's doing at the sound of a voice he doesn't immediately recognize. However, it only takes him a moment to spot the new guy that had Al's old bed and he recalls that he'd be familiar even if they'd only seen each other in passing... because of that network post.

Admittedly it wasn't the best first impression, but Ed did not want Al trying to bring every stray animal he found onto the floor and public broadcasts were a quick and easy way to bring the topic to light.

He offers a grin in greeting, wiping a gloved hand across his forehead before straightening up from the bucket of plastic guns.]

Come to check out the festival? It's a lot of work if they drag you into cleaning.

[That's said mostly as a tease, Ed doesn't mind the work himself but he knows not everyone agrees. It's when his gaze focuses on Magnus that he notices he's glancing over his arm. Something Ed definitely did not want discussed in public.

Since Magnus doesn't say anything - at least right away - he doesn't bring it up either, but his expression becomes slightly more guarded, wary. His tone is cool when he speaks again, not unfriendly, but a subtle hint that he might pick up on not to ask about the arm here.]

We're setting up for some water gun fights, if you might be interested. They have those where you're from?
