He's trying, April. He's still a bit shell-shocked from everything he saw the past few days.
Even with everything distracting him, it's easy for him to focus on Al. At first he pictures the suit of armor, but quickly corrects the mental image to that of Al at age 10, a boy with short blond hair a few shades darker than Ed's own and brown eyes.
At April's first remark, Ed blinks in confusion, while Kat smiles and replies, "That does not surprise me at all."
Ed breathes a small sigh of relief when he hears that Al's back in his own body, but then becomes somewhat alarmed when he hears the rest. "What? How... how much is gone? How much younger is he?"
He bites his lip when he hears about Izumi, eyes cast downward. "Teacher..." he mutters. Looking up at April, he says, "I've known for a little while now that she probably didn't have much time left... How long does she have, can you tell?"
He looks over at Kat and says, "I need to find a way to get in touch with him."

"We'll work on it," Kat assures him.
