[nestingdevil]

[Greed's voice purrs out in metallic static. There's the faintest catch of the radio - something sultry, jazzy.]

"If you've got the number, it means I like ya. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm out right now - all work and no play. If you're looking for a face-face visit, head down to The Devil's Nest. I'll be glad to entertain."

[Thunk go a pair of boots.] "If you're looking for something personal, you know what to do."

If he is, he has some power that I'm interested in.

You can't see it, but I am saluting. [ He's not. ]

[nestingdevil]

Let's make sure he's tended to first, hmn?

[nestingdevil]

[Shoulder shrugging causes fur and leather to grind up against a wood frame, muffling the feed. But the homunculus hisses; a small laugh, a little bit of a tease.]

[Raise of his arm sends his wristbands tumbling into the side of his scotch as he lifts it to his lips.]

Some how, I doubt that.

[disbelieving]

Of course, I'm nothing if not hospitable. Even offering my pay to figure out what is up with this one. Ah, I seem to be constantly having you adopt my strays.

Should I apologize for that, first?

[disbelieving]

And, you caught me.

I'm more of a man of action or written word.

[Sink of the glass rattles ice and Greed peels off his perch on the door frame. He throws his head back with another laugh; low this time, a bit more in his chest than anything else.]

I'm not interested in your apologies - just bring him up when he's tended to, hmn?

If someone's caught your interest, you certainly have mine.

[disbelieving]

Right, right.

[ A shrug at the second comment, then adding: ]

By the by, his name is Saïx.

[nestingdevil]

[Cupped chin, rub of a thumb. Greed pounds the curve of his boot against the frame in thought.]

What kind of name is that? Ah, well - [Trailed off and the creature's pushing out, walking somewhere.]

All I have to report for the night.
