--; brotherly love.
Well, for once, they were finally let out of the house. It really should’ve been paradise in there, but after being cooped up for over a few months, Greed had nearly gone crazy. But finally, Dante had let them step out for a bit for a purpose other than try to look around for alchemists-that would be Envy’s job today given his powers-. However, she had told Greed to keep an eye upon his new brother-she didn’t exactly trust that he would be good on his own (even though Greed could tell she hardly trusted him anymore, with how she repeated over and over to stay near home.)
Being stuck under her really wasn’t all that great. How the hell was he so close to her when he was human?
Well, no matter. Greed had taken to stepping over to a tree, eyes occasionally gazing over to where the other sin was waddling around. The sight was kind of amusing-despite that Greed didn’t care much for either of his siblings, Gluttony was at least not as irritating as Envy.
He started to reach into his pocket, wanting to grab a cigarette, but then he heard the bump. It nearly caused him to fall over, before he quickly balanced himself to look over at Gluttony.
The sight at first made him rather annoyed, given that he was getting so comfortable. But then he grinned slightly, before bursting into a bit of laughter. He knew it was kind of mean to laugh at him, but the sight was too amusing.
"Sheesh! Watch where you’re going, will ya Glut?"
He looked up at Greed, embarrassed and ashamed. He didn't now he wasn't alone. If he had, he surely would have been more cautious... What a fool he was. He avoided eye contact as he muttered a response.
"S-sorry.. I.." He struggled. His eyes flickered from the ground to his trembling hands. " I wasn't lookin'." He caught his balance and backed up a bit from the other homunculus. He wasn't quite familiar with this brother of his, and those who had took him in seemed to be cruel enough, why would this man be any different? Gluttony prepared himself for the worst. He hoped he hadn't seemed weak. The sin always seemed to be in a defensive stance when he was around them. Honestly, it was getting to be tiresome. All he wanted was something to snack on.
Waiting for Greed to respond, Gluttony fidgeted with his fingers and let out a small chuckle at his foolishness, as if to ease any tension. when he was still met by a judging and awkward silence from his brother, he took a small step forward, grunting as he was reminded of his fall by a soreness in his bottom. That would go away soon enough, though.
His index finger took its familiar and fitting place beside the corner of his distant frown. Gluttony changed the subject of interest from his embarrassing fall to the weather. Small talk. "Today is.. real nice!" He sputtered with a forced smile. He hoped it didn't seem as fake as it was. "Real... Warm and cozy."
