(Who are you going to use exactly? Idk where Rose fits in this.)
Greed watches her leave the bar and then sighs. "Ethan, shut the door..." He goes back to his lounging on the sofa, holding up the sack of stones Lust just gave him. Sealed...that was an unforgivable word in Greed's book. Just hearing it go through his mind made him twinge.
Still...if Lust was here because Dante sent her...no she didn't seem that way but still. Agh, that damn Lust and her cryptic words.

Ethan shivered under the glance Lust tossed his way, sensing the emotion it was meant to convey and the inspection it concealed. He had to avert his hazel eyes to break the connection between them, lest he do something incredibly demoralizing to himself. The almost depleted sack of stones Greed owned previous to the encounter with this curvaceous beauty was still in his hand, and by the sound the other bag made as it hit the ground he could tell there was a good amount of the precious stone in it.
He released his breath after he was sure those stilettoed heels were on the main street and a good block or so from the Devil's Nest and followed the order the Homunculus he trusted had given. "Greed... Someone close to you, I assume?" He asked, venturing out from behind the bar to offer the few leftover stones to Greed to add to the full bag. "Someone we should be keeping an eye out for in the near future just encase?"

(Um, at the moment I'm not up for a random encounter. Kinda want to get something going with Greed and Ethan right now.)
"You can say that." He takes a glance at full bag as Ethan adds even more stones into it. That just made Greed's day...still. "I don't know what she's up to. Why does she send me these red stones and not come to capture me for that old hag?"
He glances up at the ceiling. "Where does her alliance lie..." The sound of the flickering lights echo through the silent room as Greed tried to figure out this mystery but soon gives up as his head was starting to hurt.
"Agh I can't take this anymore. I'm going out for a walk, want to tag along?"

It was rare for Greed to be seen so pensive, and hence was an immediate signal to the chimera that there was something deeper underlying what had transpired. Sometimes what people needed in order to figure something out was for someone to appear to be listening to them. Ethan intended to do just that. He had gotten in trouble for speaking before, but as far as he could tell, there was nothing wrong with lending an ear.
The questions Greed brought to the table danced around his mind, but Ethan couldn't make heads or tails of them, as he was lacking vital information about the parties involved. "I'll come along, Greed," he responded, tossing the empty bag back over the bar. "Do you want me to lock those up again?" He asked, gesturing towards the full sack.

"Yea...one sec before you do though." Greed opens the bag and takes about 3 or 4 stones from the bag. Eventhough he had a full bag of stones, it wouldn't last very long if he decided to take a whole chunk from the bag.
"Ok, now you can," He gets up from his seat, plopping a stone into his mouth and savoring it. "mmm nothing bits the taste of these little red beauties..."

Ethan shuddered as Greed popped those crimson monstrosities into his mouth. Not all of those who took up residence in the Devil's Nest knew what they were composed of, but some were unfortunate enough to be educated in their creation and chemical make-up. Ethan happened to be one of them. He took the bag from Greed and walked it back to the safe, resisting holding it at arm's length. So many lives were crammed into that small space... It turned his stomach.
After slamming the metal door closed and standing to his full 6-foot-plus stature, one of the cold, auto-mail hands reached to massage his neck a bit. The sensationless fingers passed over the reddish brand on the back of his neck--his Lab 5 number: 22. He couldn't feel it as a normal human should have been able to, but he knew it was there, was real, just as the scars on his back from the removal of his wings were. He sighed and felt enough 'chewing time' had elapsed for him to turn back to Greed.
"So, uh... we goin' or what?"

"hmm? oh yes..." He swallows, rubbing his relieved stomach.
"Hehe, alright let's get going." Greed walks over to the door leading out to the open air. He had no idea where he wanted to go, he just wanted to get out to get some fresh air after being stuffed up in the bar with Lust. "ugh...she better not tell on us to that old witch. I really wouldn't like having to change locations." He munches on another stone.
Meanwhile, a beast wondered around the borders of Dublith, tired, and hungry, it was waiting for nightfall to strike an unexpected prey...

Ethan listened to the Homunculus closely, trying to pick up the small details he was dropping about his past. They all trusted him, but knew very little about him. He was as unhuman as they were, but somehow seemed more... something else. Something less alive. And those crimson horrors... they sent chills up every chimera's spine. They listened to him because he had saved them, but that wasn't the only reason when it came right down to it. They were afraid of him, and would rather be with him than against him.
"What old witch?" Ethan asked, following the sin out the door and up the bar's steps to street level. Prying wasn't the best thing to do most of the time, but a little encouragement never hurt anyone. Greed seemed flustered enough to give things away.

"The one that created me..." Greed looks at the last stone for a moment before plopping it into his mouth. "All you need to know is that she's bad news to us." They take a turn down the pathway towards the bustling of the marketplace. They were kind of running low on food...
"It would be the end of our little gang if she ever finds out I've been set free. She'll come after me and try to seal me up again. Who know what she'll do with the rest of gang..." He puts his hands in his pocket, not exactly enjoying the thoughts going through his head. If this were to be the final outcome of everything he has tried so hard to get away from, how long did he have to accomplish his goal of reaching immortality?

Ethan downcast his hazel eyes at the mention of harm coming to those who took up residence at the bar if the 'witch' found Greed. No one acted too kindly towards chimeras, thinking them lower than the lowest of animals--they were outcasts from both worlds. Happiness and security came at a high price, and Greed might be the only being in the world that they could entrust their secret and lives with, but that didn't necessarily mean that all the dangers were null and void. Vaguely the moth chimera wondered if it would be simpler with or without Greed.
Everyone hungered for something. Ethan's something just happened to be company for his misery.
"Why did she have you sealed up? You do somethin' she didn't take to?" He asked, extending his stride a bit to keep up with Greed. He may have had long legs, but he was used to short, choppy steps. Ethan saw the direction they were headed and fell into his public countenance. Every aspect of his life saw a different side of him--none of them wholly true. 'What in the world is this ring I've gotten myself involved in?'

"Heh, I was getting a bit annoyed with her and her goals. There's nothing in that plan of hers involving what I wanted, so I began to refuse taking orders from her." They stopped near the corner edge to the entrance of the market place.
It was bustling with people today...causing a distraction should be simple enough. "...I wanted control, not be controlled. She didn't like that very much so she decided to seal me as punishment...I don't ever want to go through that again."
