[Ed is currently under the impression that Cole has volunteered only to keep an eye out for Alphonse, not search with him. He's also unlikely to follow a strange man around, particularly one he's just met who is not only staring at him while they're both naked, but also calling attention to his limbs and questioning him about being an amputee. Also, Edward's leg is missing mid-thigh, not at the waist.]
