"What do you know about alchemy?" Kotaro said as Cornello left. He couldn't help himself. If that stone was the real thing, then maybe he could find out the two's identities. "I'm sorry to say it," a lie. "But those miracles seem an awful lot like alchemic reactions."

Ana
Ana nodded, worried about her friend, but these questions needed answering. "I was just wondering as well, I'm studying alchemy, and was hoping you could maybe just give me a few tips." She said, trying to appear shy and adorable, with a face that usually made people cave in. If she could even just get him to admit that he knew alchemy, then that was a foot in the door.
Cornello
Cornello immediately frowned at the mention of alchemy, and let his guards step infront, but softened upon hearing Ana's request. He had known her for almost a year, and she had proven to be a kind and useful citizen. "I know alchemy, my child, but I assure you that these are miracles of god, nothing more. God has a strange way of showing his power, and he has decided to use me as his humble profit. I do truly wish I could stay and answer more questions, but I must be on my way." He said as he disappeared behind the large door, leaving them both alone in the temple.
Ana
(Again, sorry I think it'd be easier for Ed to join if they return to the inn.)
"I'm sorry I couldn't get more from him, we might as well head back to the inn. Besides, I've got a feeling that we've overstayed our welcome." Ana mumbled, heading towards the door of the temple.

Kotaro listened carefully to Cornello. He could hear the small tinge of uneasyness and the way the guards almost came to them....it was more then enough. When Cornello left, kotaro nodded and followed Ana out the door. "He definately knows." He said. I was hoping to mention the philosiphers stone, but he left."
When they reached the inn, Kotaro sighed. "Back to square one."

Ana frowned, feeling bad that they hadn't gotten more information, but it would have to do. "We know he's guilty... but here's the thing that I've tried to prove for a whole year. He's got everything figured out good, and the only way we can ever prove it is a public display. But still, a public display will get us both killed. I might know alchemy, but not enough to save our lives when the going gets tough." She said sadly. This entire plan was going to take a lot more figuring out.
Ana would have said more, but she was soon called away. "Customer!"
"Sorry, I have to go, they need me again..." She said as she headed for the counter.
(Ooc: There, made it so you could hop right in Kat!)

Ooc: Thanks!
BIC:
Edward Elric, the state alchemist opened the door and practically threw himself inside. He was dressed in a black tunic, black leather pants, black boots, his brother's (and now his) red alchemist jacket, and white gloves. He had just been wandering around the hot desert in these clothes and was overheated and exhausted. His blond hair was plastered to his face and he stumbled over to the counter throwing his face down on the cool surface. He saw a figure approach and realized it was Ana. "Oh hello." He said weakly raising his hand an inch of the ground in greeting.

Kotaro nodded as Ana left and decided to check in on his room. He needed some time to think. As he started up the steps he saw someone practically fall into the inn. He had blonde hair, was wearing a red jacket, and was very short. He shrugged and decided maybe he should eat. He was still hungry from breakfast. He went and sat down next to the boy. "I'll have a turkey sandwich." He said.

Upon recognizing her friend, Ana rushed to the kitchen, returning with another cold glass of water, and helped him sit up. "Are you alright?" She asked, "What are you doing here? I thought you were going to leave for central." Then hearing Kotaro's request, she rushed back to the kitchen, pulling out a pre-made turkey sandwich from the fridge. Apparently she had expected that Kotaro would want one, and had made one earlier this morning.
"Drink slowly, alright? Don't get yourself sick, okay?" She warned as she pushed the cold cup of water into Edward's hands, and handed the turkey sandwich to Kotaro.

Edward took the cup gingerly and sipped if egarly sitting down at the table with a boy he hadn't met yet. Edward leaned back in the chair and smiled at both of them."I don't know how you people can live in such a hot area I will never know." Despite her words he gulped down the rest of the water feeling the cool liqued slide down his throat. A lone radio near by was playing yet another one of Cornell's sermons. "I was leaving for central. Except I had a change of plans."He jerked his head over at the radio with a smirk. "Al and I both agree that there is something highly unusual about that man."Edward murmered more quietly. "So who is your friend Ana?"Edward said closing his eyes half way with a half-smile looking at the boy.

Kotaro raised an eyebrow. This kid had suspicions about Cornello as well. He gave him a friendly smile hand took a bit of his sandwich before speaking. "Nice to meet you, my names Kotaro." He said offering a hand. He sighed as he heard Cornello's Serman. Great.

Ana smiled and looked at Kotaro. "It's alright Ed, you can trust him. He's a good friend of mine, and we're working on something important. Maybe I can tell you more at your room." She said in a hushed voice, just high enough so that she didn't seem conspicuous. The last thing she wanted to do was alert the customers, as then rumors would start. That, and she was keeping an eye out for those strange people in black. If they found her, she knew she was finished. There was no way she could fight against a weapon she couldn't see.

Edward raised his eyebrows at the boy. "Something so suspicious it has to be spoken in a secretive place like my room?Edward rubbed his chin with a secretive sly look on his face. He laughed and and stood up shaking Kotaro's hand with his own gloved hand. "Nice meeting you. I'm Edward Elric a state alchemist." He said this pointing the pocket watch on his waist, under his alchemist coat. He made his way over to the stairs waiting for the others. "Let's get this over with.'

"A state alchemist. That's impressive for someone so young." Kotaro said smiling. He looked at Ana and nodded. "I'll take your word this guy is trustworthy." He said finishing his sandwich.he stood up and followed Ed. "Lets get on with this. I'm already tired of Cornello's false preaching."

Ana smiled, but secretly inside she wanted to pinch both of them for speaking aloud when they could be heard and exposed by the customers. 'Oh wait...' she thought, 'Cornello's talking, so nobody's hearing anything else. I guess we're safe.'
Ana ran up the stairs, now leading the way, and waited for the others to enter the room so that they could begin their plans for Cornello's downfall, and to share gathered information on those strange new people in Liore. Ana clenched her fingers about the wound that the strange lady had given her. 'How did sand even get in my sleeve?' She thought, keeping her well trained face from twisting into a look of agony.

Edward shut the wooden door behind him. He took his red coat off, and hung it on the coat hanger. His automail arm came into veiw. He knew Ana had already seen it, but knew the other guy hadn't. Oh well. He saw Ana clutching her arm and his eyes narrowed. "Ana, are you alright?" He asked as he sat down on the bed. "Alright, down to bussnius. So this Cornell guy. He looks like a phony! If you notice, his so called miracles always have a flash of light before the actual miracle occurs. Looks like alchemy if I ever have seen it." He finished scratching his head.

As soon as Kotaro saw the automail arm he raised an eyebrow. Automail on one so young. he had heard the process was incredably pain full. Yet this young man had gon e through the whole thing. He realized he was staring and immediately looked away.
"Your right, Cornello 's miracles are Alchemic transmutations. But they have no equivalincy. He bypasses the laws. I have a theory, but its a stretch." He looked at Ana. "Ana also should tell you what happened last night."
