It's almost unnatural.

And he looks like an Elric.

WHAT!?

There's no way he'd date someone who looks like an Elric. There's no way. He mustn't have a clue.

I admit it's strange, but Envy said he was very happy.

He does! Long blond hair, light toned, clear cut features.

What the hell.

[No, seriously. What the hell.

Lust, do you have any idea what you're saying because Greed isn't sure he should explain that.]

It's not THAT odd. A bit eyebrow raising, but really. It isn't as though I said he's dating AN Elric.

No, it's very odd.

Look, I

I'm not sure how much I should actually say.

I know Envy doesn't LIKE Elrics on some sort of principle, if that's what you mean.

Yeah.

There's a reason for that. I know the reason because at one point, Envy and I were extremely close.

But it's also not really my place to go around telling other people. Maybe it's a little different, since you were so close to him, too, but if he never let on that complicates things a bit.

I know it has something to do with Hohenheim, or something the man did. But no, Envy's never said specifically what it was. And I've never asked.

I know Hohenheim was around from time to time. I only ever saw him once and I got the feeling he didn't like me very much, and he completely avoided Envy the one time he did show up that I'm aware of because I was in the room for the entire conversation.

This must have been... I'm not sure. I think it was two hundred years ago but honestly it could have been before that. Spending over a century locked away wrecks your perception of time.

He urged her to stop what she was doing and she refused. It's been too long so I don't really remember the specifics, but I remember wanting to hurt him. I would have done it in an instant had she ordered it.

She told him he should accept responsibility and he told her he didn't know what she was talking about. And then he looked at me, and I still don't understand the look he gave me. Pity? Hatred? Hell if I know.

I hated being the thing on the side. He was clearly the one she wanted, not me. I was just a convenience to her. Just something to pass the time with while she longed for that man once again.

I never told Envy that he showed up. It would only have angered him to know that I had the chance to attack the man but didn't because I was a loyal servant of our master.

[Wow that's a lot of words, and Lust understands that the story has two meanings to be taken from it.]

I was aware of our master's obsession with the man. It fostered some strange fixation on his son.

You're alluding heavily to matters of jealousy.

That's creepy. but not surprising, I suppose. But this story doesn't have much to do with Edward Elric. He's more of an unwitting player in all of it.

Hohenheim left the first time long before I was born, but I was also not the first one born. I was the third. The second being Gluttony.

[That was where Envy had come from. It made sense, suddenly, or sense enough for Lust to seize on the idea and label it fact.]

I see.

I always assumed.

Nevermind.

It doesn't matter.

I don't know the details.

But he trusted me enough to show me what he really looks like. Just the once.

I don't need details. I won't mention we had this talk.

He did?

I'm not sure what doing that actually meant to him.

I don't really want to guess, honestly. He's wanted to kill Hohenheim for a long time and to be honest I have too so I never saw reason to dissuade him.

I couldn't guess.

It doesn't matter. He's long gone now, anyway. Envy must know that, it happened when I was still with them.

[But Dante had been the one to do it, not Envy. Greed can't help but feel bad for him, since that had been the driving force for most of his life.

Though maybe Envy is in a better place now, given that he's stable enough to actually be with someone. Greed isn't even stable enough for that, not really.]

It's not like he's here, anyway.

Thank god.

Let's hope it stays that way.

I'd certainly like it to stay that way.

He and Dante can stay the fuck away from this place.

None of us want to see either of them. I don't give a damn about him, but I give a damn about Envy.

I wouldn't let him near Envy.
