They may not all be babies, but Winry has so many children
Ed: That’s my way of doing things. When life gives me pain, I take that pain and push it down. And if that pain starts to come up again, I push more pain down on top of it.
Winry:
Ed: Why confront something when you can avoid it, right?
Winry: Ed, do you need a hug?
Ed: I hate people. Life sucks, nothing good ever happens-
Winry: [walks in]
Ed: A miracle has just occurred, my skin is clear, my crops are watered, I feel whole again.
Automail is amazing as-is, but I think Winry would have fun helping out a patient who wanted not only to have cool automail but to look cute too.
As a kid I spent a lot of time in pediatric orthopedics hospitals (long story), and I was always fascinated by the fun out-there designs available on prosthetics. Though automail is cool and steam-punky it doesn’t seem like anyone in canon was paying attention to its aesthetic appeal for kids, and I can imagine Winry really getting into that.
Ed was ready to take Winry to Rush Valley when she asked but it’s just in his nature to spark an argument with her. He knew it was fairly easy to take her there and that it would make her happy but sometimes it’s just fun to rile her up and the past couple of days had been rough so he was in need of something familiar and that was like…home, y’know?
