Basement pool, Thursday evening

Walter led Alphonse down to the basement, his arms laden with some things you likely wouldn't expect in this weather, including blankets, ice skates, his electric kettle, and what appear to be the makings for hot cocoa with marshmallows.

He dropped most of those things off to the side of the pool and looked expectantly at his roommate.

"Come on. I want to see you turn all of that to ice."

[ooc: Pool party! The pool has been frozen solid, the room should be not just cool, but downright chilly. Enjoy the relief from the heat with a few goosebumps. Open to all. Anyone who wants their character to have an excuse to be down here can handwave a phone call from Walter. It's possible he randomly grabbed the school directory and dialed.]

"I know-- but-- augh," Alphonse heaved a heavy sigh. "I do. For real now."

"Okay. Magic or not, Al, this is pretty impressive. Would take a lot of power."

"Changing physical properties isn't very hard at all," Alphonse said. "I can transmute large objects easily, I just can't do it too much at once unless I felt like wearing myself out."

"Shut up and take the compliment."

Alphonse became flustered. "Wh-What's that supposed to mean?"

Nadia smiled. "That means stop trying to explain alchemy to me, because I'll never understand it, and just be happy that I'm impressed and think you're cool."

"I-- um-- okay," he stammered. "Thank you, then. Even though it was all Walter's idea to do it."

"Yes, but Walter, for all that he likes to think he can do everything, can't freeze an entire pool."

"Well... no," Alphonse eyed the pool again. "I guess not many people can."

"Not really, no."

"Well, ah, I don't mind using it for things like this. As long as others don't mind and enjoy it instead."

Nadia nodded. "That's a very sound philosophy."

"I don't want to bother anyone with it. I thought this would, but I guess that isn't the case."

"Al, you don't bother anyone in general."

"I don't know that," Alphonse said meekly. "I mean, I might! If I did something wrong."

"You worry too much."

Alphonse made a slight face. "D-Do I?" He paused. "... Because you're the second person who's told me that."

"You do. You need to not worry so much about what other people are going to think of what you do. Do what makes you happy."
