           Edward Elric was a brat. It pained Al to admit that, but it was true.

           Ed whined, sulked, and raged on a daily basis. He was childish. He was rude. And, his reaction to the slightest suggestion - real or imagined - that he might be... less than tall was an over-reaction of epic proportions.

           But, conversely, Ed never complained about anything truly important. If his automail pained him, he only grimaced. If he felt discouraged by constant dead-ends, he still smiled for Al's sake.

           Brattiness, Al realized, was Ed's one indulgence. And so, Al would let him have it.
