Being in the present of others won't speed up my healing either.
[Like Alphonse can be irked with being treated like a child, Pierce is patient but firm when he is treated like a geriatric in need of protecting.]
Son, I don't need to be taken care of. I'm self-sufficient, and while I may be in my twilight years, I haven't fallen into a shallow grave just yet. However, I am planning on moving North. If you happen to be there and our paths cross, I will consider traveling with you.
[Was that what they were? Interesting that Alphonse considered friendship so readily after they had met so infrequently, and he once again found himself amused by the young man. So innocent and yet had clearly seen too much.]
Very well. I will contact you when I have arrived in the North.
