And how does your 'friend' feel about being so blatantly claimed?

To dehumanize implies that Greed was ever human to begin with. Humans are beneath him, and most certainly beneath me. He’d do better to start acting like it.

You’ve heard nothing about me. But go ahead, delude yourself into thinking you know anything. If it is a pleasure, it’s one-sided.

I have better things to do with my time than babysit a wayward sibling and discuss sin with a human who’s deceived himself into thinking he’s closer to knowing the will of God than the average chaff.

now aren’t you unpleasant?

i know everything i need to from this conversation alone, you lack subtlety, finesse, and more than that, you lack any sort of charm i’m afraid. you are selfproud, without the ability to even pretend to be humble when assessing another being.  

i feel little need to play nice with a person who does not know how to at least play at the rules of proper etiquette.

Why thank you for all the compliments.

However, you'll find my subtlety and finesse come across far better in person than through words on a screen. Charm I have no need for, except what is strictly necessary for my current position.

You want to play, hmm? I suppose I could. I have plenty of experience at that.

I am not a shadow puppet.

Daddy’s the one pulling your strings, and you fucking let him, and you’re a shadow, so.

Shadow Puppet.

how impolite. one shouldn’t dehumanize another unless it is well deserved. let those who are without sin cast first stones.

it’s a nickname, i’ll be frank. but one i’m comfortable with, and therefore would like it to be respected as if it were my moniker by birth, thank you.

i’ve heard a bit about you. we’ll see if it continues to prove true, either way, how lovely to speak with you directly :)

a strange family life. but none of my business i’m sure.

he hasn’t precisely been rude to me. now, since we’re actually speaking instead of making vagueries, my name is Church.

and who do i have the pleasure of speaking to?

Oh I imagine not, he’s actually quite charismatic and a good leader when he puts his mind to it. But he is by no means a good person. He’s barely a person at all.

And here I thought humans had relatively normal names. No matter.

I’m Pride. I see you’ve already been speaking with my younger ‘brother.’ And yes, there are seven of us now. Father wouldn’t let his Wrath go unchecked forever.

Imagine that, someone calling Greed ‘good.’

That makes me laugh.
