Alphonse was studying late into the night at the library after he used his pocket watch to get in. He was sitting at a table that had a bunch of different Alchemy related books on it, one of them he was almost done reading. He was fascinated in the different ways Alchemy could be used as he only really knew how to use a few and wanted to try the others when he could have a chance. He finishes the book and gets up to go and get another one, humming to himself while he scans all the different books. He saw one about nature-like Alchemy and his interest piqued, remembering Russel and Fletcher, a gentle smile on his face. He goes to reach for the book but stops when he sees someone else reach for it, his eyes widening slightly as he looked beside him, a wider smile on his face, "Oh! Are you researching about Alchemy too?" He giggles a bit.
