Cipher Nine takes a cautious step forward when he sees the gash on the boy's side. "I have medic training," he tells Harry. "I can treat that wound for him."
Ed hasn't noticed any of this. He's too busy scrambling backward, trying to get as far away from Drusilla—who has always creeped him out—as possible, letting out a raspy 'Gah!' noise. "Don't touch me," he says, a little bit of a tremor in his voice, shuddering a little as Dru runs her hands along his chest. Part of the squick factor is that she isn't Winry. Most of it is that Dru is April's mother.
His words should be an immediate red flag to anyone who knows Ed well. He would never say something like that to his brother.
