Drabble Post - Rule #3 (FMA)

Another "Ed's Rules (for dealing with crazy alchemists and angry townspeople)" written for
genex as a little gift for
jordannamorgan.
Rule #3
Violence is the answer.
At least, about sixty percent of the time it is. There’s another thirty-five or so percent where it’s part of the answer.
Ed knows Al doesn’t agree with that, but Al is an optimist. (Al also doesn’t understand that violence is absolutely, positively necessary in response to insults about Ed’s height. You can’t let slander like that stand. It’s a matter of honor.)
So, violence. It’s a requirement out there. Because the world is full of crazed lunatics - most of them violent - who won’t listen to anything but a steel fist in the face.
