Ordinarily Ed would probably have thrown a fit, probably tossed a series of curses at Winry, probably sob a little bit about how he was now even smaller than normal, not even an inch. But oddly...he was okay, in retrospect when you get shrunken, however it happened, there were a lot worse things that could've happened to him. Edward didn't even dare to imagine was Lust or even worse his teacher would do to him at this size. Plus maybe the fact Winry could crush him beneath a toe gave him some fear filled incentive. Still...in her mechanic top,sweats,bandanna, and sandals Winry did look kinda cute...in fact even though Winry couldn't tell Ed was blushing a little.
There wasn't any issue with reading a dictionary though so Ed read the definition before him out loud, having to scream so Winry could hear it far above. " Humility...the state or quality of being humble." Ed slumped at the simplistic definition, if Winry was gonna try sending a message she had already messed up badly.
Winry chuckled embarassingly, "Whoops...guess that didn't help much. Try humble, it outta be on the same page. Being the size of a speck of dirt outta help you find it pipsqueak." Winry laughed as a series of angered noises came from Ed, continuing until she stomped the ground and shut him up.
Groaning a little bit Ed stood up, complaining under his breath how pissed off he was that the text on the pages of the dictionary were larger than him. Heck, the entire dictionary itself looked big enough to fit a town full of people, whatever method Winry used to shrink him, she made Edi} small.
Come to think of it how did she do it? Ed wondered, he did endless hours of research on Alchemy and not much existed regarding size changing. There were a couple experiments here and there but no one, not even the geniuses of the Alchemic world ever really pulled it off, and Winry was no expert in Alchemy so that was obviously a no. Technology was a maybe, Winry being a huge machinery geek would have the know how to do that, but Ed heard nothing about any size changing technology.
"God I have no idea!" Ed cursed out load as he angrily punched the page of the dictionary. In a weird twist of fate the word Ed punched on was in fact humble.
Seeing Ed find the word Winry smiled and jokingly petted the little blonde with her finger, "Not bad Ed. That was fast. Now read it aloud please."
Something in Winry's tone made Ed listen and again he yelled out the words. " Humble... Marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit; not arrogant or prideful. " Catching his breath Ed tried to knock the other two definitions right away, "Showing deferential or submissive respect. Or-"
"Stop right there!"
Still listening Ed looked back up to his giantess friend, "What is it?"
Smiling Winry simply said, ""Showing Showing deferential or submissive respect" Tell me Ed, when have you ever done that? Do you even know how?"
Ed stood up proudly, mouth open like he was about to scream a witty reply...but nothing came out, he had no stories or evidence to help him out of this one.
Giggling at the silence Winry said, "That's why I shrunk you. Gotta teach you some submissive respect. Nothing says submission like making you rub or worship my feet. But nothing says respect like fear. Which sounds more reasonable?"
The Full Metal Alchemist thought about it, Submission likely meant foot worship which needless to say was not one of his goals in life. But fear...that was pretty vague, no telling what Winry could do with that. "Uh Winry...can we jus-"
"Pick one!"
"Okay okay! I pick...
