It's more about not giving up a potential advantage. [Wyrly:] You don't exactly fit into anything the homunculi I know have planned.

[He closes the book and sets it aside.]

Normally they need us alive, but it's hard to say what they'd make of you being from another world. The only thing I can be sure of is that they wouldn't pass up a chance to use you against me if they thought they could. Like I said, we just barely got Winry out of a bad situation back home, so I'm not looking to take any more risks than necessary.

[Assuming the homunculi don't decide Exsilium changes the game completely, of course, but Al would like to think he and Ed would be able to stop them before any new plans become an issue. Anyway, that's a lot of paranoia for a hypothetical, so he quickly turns sheepish.]

But um, hopefully that won't be something we'll ever have to deal with.
