Noa dances barefoot. She likes the feel of solid earth under her feet, likes the sun on her hair and the play of wind across her face. She likes the solid thrum around her, directing her deliberate movements into something beautiful.
Noa has decided that she will be a simple creature from now on. She doesn't deserve to dream where others have died, she thinks, so she dances on his grave as she would never dance for the man himself, and tries not to think too much.
Edward has come back, and she has to look after him. Because it's what Alfons would have wanted her to do. And Edward still has so much to learn about this world, and his brother, even more.
So Noa smiles a little when she sees Al's face (so like Alfons', but younger, softer) light up in amazement at the 'wonders' of the new world. He is so easy to please, so very young.
Noa doesn't know that she can ever remember being that young, and suppresses a little wistfulness at what sort of world Ed and Al are used to. She doesn't have the right to feel angry or cheated, after all.
She takes pleasure in simple things, in a sunrise or the kindness of a stranger, in Al's wondering smile and his wide eyes (almost completely unshadowed). She remembers the things she saw in Edward's mind and tries to find them in her world, if only to point out to them.
Envy has no place in her now, she tells herself firmly.
Noa dances barefoot and enjoys the colors of the sunrise as they play across fields and forest. She will be a simple creature from now on, and try to make up for her past actions with future hope.
Endnotes: So, FMA. My first anime series. This would also be my first FMA fic posted anywhere. Always thought my first FMAfic would be about Kimblee...ah well. There's always next time, I suppose.
