[slight, tiny huff] I may not be an alchemist myself, kid, but I've been around enough of them to recognise a supposition when I hear one. It's no good making decisions based on what might be true, you know, especially life-changing decisions like this.

That said it's probably a good thing you're apart for now--at least then you can figure out whether it's being together which is causing the problem. People do that all the time too ... they leave each other for a little while to figure out if they really can handle staying away. And the answer's 'no' just as often as it's 'yes'.
