For everything that he had imagined doing or feeling again when he got his body back, there are a hundred extra things that he had completely forgotten about. The first time that he needed to pee, it had taken an embarrassingly long time for him to realise that was what the sensation was, and he's definitely not used to being so weak and malnourished that he needs support whenever he gets out of bed.
Ed has been hovering over him like a mother rather than an older brother, encouraging him to eat the mush that his stomach can handle, doing the physical exercises with him, just-- being there. But he's asleep in the chair by the bed right now, head fallen right back and mouth open wide as he snores.
Al smiles brightly when he sees who's at the door, waving one of his stick-thin arms happily.
"Lieutenant! It's so good to see you, I've been kind of worried. D'you want me to wake Ed?"
