Ginko can't quite make out a lot of what happens - all he really notices is sound and movement, those arms clinging to him. He barely sees Ed slam his hand to the ground again, the arms surging toward him, and terror stops his breath in his throat as he watches, fully expecting the younger man to be doomed--

Seconds later, it's all over. Ginko lies there for a moment, his eyes wide and his breath ragged as he tries to figure out what just happened.

That moment of overwhelming, motionless confusion only lasts for a couple seconds, then Ginko bolts to his feet, stumbling a little as he moves to Ed's side, grabbing his shoulder. "Hey, are-- are you alright?!" He doesn't even notice the new limbs at first, and when he does he pauses, staring at them in confusion.
