[Greed's voice is distant, his smile audible. Though, it seems forced. Not at the news, no, but the idea. He taps his nails across something that tins back - like the worst kind of Morse Code.]
I had arrived at this city with the thought that I would never see Kamui, again. My destiny had already been decided. But to think that I would not be able to see him after meeting up with him once more. It hurts. [ ... ] But this is fate, right?
[ ... ] I will do what you wish for me to do, Greed.
[Greed takes a moment to rub the back of his neck. No - he wasn't exactly in Kamui's court, but that doesn't mean he isn't sorry. For the loss, at any rate.] - sorry, kid. Wish I had some better news for you.
[Truth be told, he's never understood that idea: destiny, decided, fate. He's always made claims to the contrary, pulling and tugging to cut all the strings: to be able to chose.]
[The Sin lets his hand fall and his bracelets jingle on the other side of the line.] Why don't you and I check out what's going on in town. Might as well see if we can find anything worth the time.
[Cheer him up? Maybe. If so, it isn't entirely intentional. Greed doesn't exactly harbor the best feelings towards the current MIA, but he can understand: the idea of losing and he's never been too keen on the idea.]
[Maybe it's the part of him that still tries at human and his smile is slow and obvious. His silence telling as his snaps his fingers lazily on the other side of the line.]
Nothing's impossible, Nataku. Remember what I told you.
[Heels shift and he's rolling out. Following the long-line of wood he's got in his collection.] Feel free. Otherwise, I have something else you could do for me.
I'll tell you about it later. Business - you know how it is.
[Basically: he's not interested in having anyone knocking around his intel without a little bit first. And a proposal's no good if he can't keep it between good ol'chums.]
[If anything, Nataku's loyal enough. Especially without the usual shadow to rain on his parade and Greed makes a noise his throat. One that's both an acknowledgement and a scuff.]
What supplies people are willing to give - [Scratching his exposed throat and the Sin knocks his hip against something hollow. Lets it bang out across the line.]
