I hunger for some crunchy red stones...

[Greed]

Groan

Greed sighs, scratching his stomach. He was laying down on one of the sofas in his little hideout and staring dully up at the ceiling. He was hungry, not for the cooked meat and veggie kind, the red stone kind.

Being locked away for so many years can make one yearn for the one thing that keeps an Homunculi alive.

"Hey Ethan, how's the stash of red stone looking right now?" He asks, eventhough he knew the answer, he just want a sort...clarification from someone else, hoping that it's not true.

[Lust]

A shadow seemed to lurk nearby,with the simple clack of her heels the sin known as Lust emerged.Her solem expression and cold eyes stared at Greed,she wasn't stupid and knew what he was capable of.If she was human then yes she would already be dead,and as much as she despised Greed she was here to discuss something with him.

"I overheard what you said Greed,in need of red stones.I just so happen to have some with me,but don't expect them to just be handed over to you...i'm not that nice.Being sealed away is no fun now is it,but as you know we do need red stones to survive".

Pulling them out she dangled the bag from her nail,a smirk played across her lips and just couldn't help but tease her fellow sin,but her gaze didn't shift as he called to another.

((Hope ya don't mind I posted here))

Ethan had been sitting at the bar, nursing a cup of sake. It was a lazy afternoon in the Devil's Nest, and no one ever got anything done on days like this. He started slightly when Greed addressed him, having believed the Homunculus was asleep--dead to the world even. Usually the bar's owner called for Martel or Dorochette or Roa, not him. With a groan of his own, he slide from the barstool and traveled around the bar to check the safe kept beneath its counter.

He wasn't sure what the reaction to 'empty' would be, but he had to answer. "Well... There's only a few, Greed. Three, actually." He reported quietly. It was then that Lust entered their midst, and the chimera nearly jumped from his skin.

The intruder seemed to know Greed, to be close to him even. Ethan hadn’t had much interaction between normal people to have much comparison, but he could tell that this woman was different—wasn’t human. And she had crimson stones. ‘She’s—’ he realized with a start, ‘she’s a Homunculus like him.’

Ethan decided it would be wise to leave this battle between them. Who knew what might happen in a crossfire of inhuman beings—not that chimeras were to be taken lightly. His merging didn’t have too many advantages, though.

[Greed]

Greed jumped to attention when he heard an unwelcoming voice lurking around his bar. He sits up and glares over at Lust who was teasing him with the bag of so needed pretty stones...

"What the hell do you want?" He asks, eyeing Ethan for a second before looking to Lust with annoyance.

[Lust]

"You think I don't know you need these,oh come on Greed I just want to tease you abit.Be a good boy and beg for them maybe,but my question to you is how badly do you want them....and just what will you do for them".

Sliding the bag off her nail,her gaze did shift quickly to Ethan and the smirk still danced across her face.So he wasn't alone was he,fancy that and he seemed quite scared to see her enter the Devil's Nest.And why shouldn't he fear her,not that she had any intrest of killing him.

"What is your answer,I could take these back to Dante if you want me to".

[Greed]

"heh, what makes you think I'd lower myself to someone like you? Even if you are soft to the eyes." He says, sliding his shades down a bit for a better look.

"Ahem, I'm going to ask you again. What is it that you want? I may be in need of stones, but I'm not going to beg it off from you." He would seriously rather stay hungry then beg to someone like her.

[Lust]

"What I want is none of your buisness,unless you have information on a certain stone.But I doubt you would Greed,after all you stay in here and play pretty boy to girls it makes me wonder how you can even call yourself one of us".

Her smirk turned into a frown,if she had it her way his tounge would be cut off in a instant.Gluttony refused to even come near here,said he was too afraid to even enter the Devil's Nest because of Greed.

"I want information on the philosophers stone,or nothing at all it quite as simple as that.But I don't really care,all I did was come here to give you these even if you are a lazy".

[Greed]

Greed's left eye twtich with irritation. "It's not laziness, it's call doing things at ones own pace. And for that I'm not sure if I should even bother to say anything." Actually, Greed didn't have any information on the Philosopher stone. All he wanted right now was the stones and for the bitch to leave.

[Lust]

She shrugged and walked over to him,bending over so their eyes met.Holding the bag up,her face was now solem and showed no emotion.Lust could tell he was getting irritated by her,so why hang around and stay with this ass.

"Here you go Greed,use them wisely otherwise next time i'll let you just waste away and die.A weak Humunculus is no use to us,but then again you never we're part of our little group completely now we're you".

[Greed]

Greed stares up at Lust for a moment before he turns away, shrugging it off with a grin.

"Yes well, I don't like the sound of taking orders from an old untrustworthy hag." He snatches his stones from her and checked its contents. Seem legit...

"...Why are you giving these to me anyway? Last I checked you all wanted me sealed up or dead." He says, looking up to Lust with curiousity. This "kind" gesture from Lust just didn't seem to fit the puzzle. "You didn't even get the information you wanted, so why are you?"

[Lust]

"I have nothing better to do,and don't think i'm being nice just because I want to.If I had my way you'd be dead already,I may have not gotten the information I wanted and I despise you no more then I despise the other's".

Extending one nail slowly,she placed it under his chin and narrowed her eyes.Playing the sweet and nice act wasn't her thing,she didn't trust Dante anymore then Greed did and her loyalty was wearing thin with the hag.

"I wonder what it would be like to spill your blood,guess i'll never have the pleasure of knowing now will I.If I could I would seal you away again,better yet kill you with my own nails but where is the fun in that".

[Greed]

Greed snarls, grabbing her long nail and moving it away from him. It made a screeching sound as it passed through Greed's sheild. "Keep your nails to yourself." He grips it tightly before letting go, his hand bleeding due to the fact he hadn't gotten his sheild up to protect it.

"Aw, what a drag." He flexes his bloody hand for a moment with a frown. "...Well since you've been 'entertained' I think you should leave now." He glances up at her with bitterness.

(Lust, Greed, may I join?)

[Lust]

((It's really up to Greed))

Lust took a few steps back,at least she had drawn blood.With a shrug it didn't phase her,so much for wanting to have a little more fun with him.Lust had buisness elsewhere anyways,and lingering in this place any longer would be a waste of time.

"Fine i'll leave,it seems i've out stayed my welcome anyways.And it's too bad I wanted to tease you abit more,I love watching men squirm.Of course I kill them before they have a chance to do anything else,next time get your own supply of stones".

Turning on her heel she headed out,looking back over her shoulder with a smirk.Good riddance to this place,hopefully she wouldn't have to see his face again but who know's the crossroads come from many directions.
