Sometimes, I love my subconscious. XD Anime dreams that involve slash are fun!
I apparently walked into the theater late, so no idea if there WAS any context, but Ed Elric was standing at a second-floor window somewhere in his office building, having a conversation with Russell Tringham--in sign language, because Russell was outside and the window was closed. I could understand what they signed, even only some of it was actual ASL, but they were both kind enough to voice-interpret as well for most of it! Would have been a bit ironic if I'd needed subtitles for their speech as well...
Russell: "Are you getting off work soon?"
Ed: (smirking) "You wish."
Russell: (dryly) "I love you too."
Ed: (freezes, then signs slowly with no voice interpretation) "...I have to go." (turns and walks out of sight)
I'd write it out a little better, but hard to when it started mid-scene, there is virtually no way I can explain them knowing sign (any sort of military hand-signal code would likely not be complex enough for what they were saying), and Russell apparently thought nothing of the fact that he was looking up at Ed. XD
The really odd part? Winry was in the theater too (what, were we watching a security cam video?) and protested when Ed didn't voice the last part, because she couldn't understand it. I was just thinking, Go figure. It's a Bilingual Bonus! (Except it kinda wasn't...) But still, HA. I haven't woken up grinning like that in a while!
