Not so much new. Admittedly, I chose to take her and her friends under my wing — whether they like it or not, they are children and I worry for them. A world like this is no place for kids their age but, then again, I suppose everyone is a child compared to me. [ Thoughtfully, he purses his lips and levels a glance in his direction. ] Maybe I am meddling too much, but who can say?
[ The intentions behind the words are as clear as day and he rolls his eyes, turning away to mask his amusement. No, there are no unwanted eyes here, he nearly even allows himself to reach out to touch him but his tail slithers away as quickly as it came. To compensate, one of his wings gently nudge against Greed. ] Haven’t you ever heard that good things come to those who wait? Ask me again later.
[ While choosing not to elaborate, he does look at the bottles behind the bar to take in the reflection of the former homunculus. Whatever this is still doesn’t come easy to him, so he will have to be satisfied with what Michael has given him. A promise, undoubtedly, of another night where he will get virtually no work done. ]
Careful, Greed, your kindness is showing. What will the neighbors think? [ He turns his head just enough to where he can see his little smirk before it disappears. ] You’re doing fine and I have the added benefit of knowing you wouldn’t hurt me. Not intentionally. If you keep saying it like that, I am going to start assuming it’s a term of endearment.
[ Anything else he is going to say is cut off by a soft hiss not because of the pain but because of the ice. He nearly jolts off of the stool before begrudgingly sliding back into place, leaning into the relief. Sure, he saw him with the bucket of ice but did not put two and two together. ]
I thought that if she saw me, I might be able to pull more of her consciousness out. I was mistaken. I don’t know what she has been through in life but I believe she suffered. Perhaps the dragon is a defense mechanism, a way to protect herself from things that gave her grief in her own world. It isn’t unheard of.
[ He scoffs then sighs. ] A run for my money, hm? Maybe I really am becoming a sentimental fool here. In four months, I will have been here for a year.
