"What the hell is taking him so long?" Greed growled slightly. He tried to hide the fact that he was concerned, but was surely failing. It had been hours since he had last spoken to Dorochet on the phone. That should have been plenty of time for the kids to be born and for Dorochet to get Martel out of there and back to safety. So, why had there been no word from the dog chimera?

"You shouldn't have send the puppy alone." Loa grumbled as he stood by Greed. Greed was right. Dorochette had been gone for hours and had still not called in. Which was very unlike the dog chimera, as usually Dorochette would do exacly what he was told to by Greed and as soon as possible. In all honesty Loa was starting to get very worried as well. He knew that his comorade had called their boss a few hours ago and even if he had been in another room it hadn't been hard to hear Gluttony yelling in all excitement for Lust. So basically Loa was getting more than worried that something had happened to the other chimera before he had even had the chance to help Martel.

The homunculus rubbed his left temple slightly in frustrastion. "So, what do you think happened to them?" he asked Loa, unsure if he really wanted the answer. Because he was pretty sure he already knew the answer, and it wasn't a good one.

Loa carefully thought his answer through. Considering what would be the bst way to put it. "Well I assume that Martel is still alive." Loa said calmly. "And I hope the same goes for Dorochette, though seeing he hasn't even given a call something must have happened." Loa stated. He didn't liked his own answer at all either.

Greed nodded slightly, pretending to be satisfied with the answer. God, he needed to get his mind settled. Turning his head, he called to the bartender to give him a drink. Alcohol didn't really do much, in all honesty. But, it did sometimes help the homunculus remain calm in those rare occassions that he became extremely pissed off or worried.

Gluttony was in a good mood simply due to having heard Lust's voice recently. He had no idea why Greed seemed so down all the time. . .Oh yes. His Martel, right? He needed his Martel like he needed his Lust. . .Lust, Lust, Lust. . .She was all he could think about. Surely Greed had something planned to get her to join them, and even then, she'd come soon and Gluttony could see her face to face. Gluttony was so obsessed with her that he hadn't even eaten anything for a good few hours.

Loa grunted at the current situation. This was indeed everything but good. But it seemed that the only thing they could do now was wait. Or hope that Greed would come up with a plan. Loa tried to think possitive or at least take his thoughts of the subject for a moment. That's when his eyes fell on the fat little homonculus, who had been surprisingly quite the last few couple of hours. "What's with him?" The bull chimera grunted the question to his boss as he nodded at Gluttony who seemed to be a bit lost.

"He thinks that one of the other homunculi is going to come and join us" Greed said with a sneer. "Sadly for him, if any of them show up here, they're dead". There was no sign of joking in his voice. Right now, he was serious, probably as serious as he'd ever be.

As if by some cruel act of fate, just as Greed said that, Envy walked into the room along with Dorochette, Martel, and her two babies. "Oh? I guess that means I shouldn't of bothered with saving your children and chimeras here then, seeing "I'm dead".".
Envy casually plopped himself down on a chair and picked up a bottle of alcohol and took a sip. "I’ve always admired you since you managed to bust out of that cell, Greed. Unlike all those other rebellious homunculi in the past, you’ve actually managed to live a free life. You lived out the dream I was too paranoid to try for. But now I’ve finally thought it over. . .Thought it over pretty damn well actually. Only had 400 years. What can the old hag possibly do to me if she can’t find me?”.
Envy slurped a bit out of his beer bottle and propped his feet up on a table, getting comfortable, chuckling slightly. ”But I’m not just intending on hiding until Dante croaks over, oh no. I’m finally gonna start taking some risks like you did. That’s why I’ve decided to join up with ya. You’ve got Gluttony here and once those halflings grow up a bit they should at least count as one homunculus put together, right? So let’s count that’s four on four on homunculi count. . .Ignoring Dante’s big new project which she probably won’t be able to get out of her basement.”. Envy rolled his eyes.
Envy took another slurp out of his beer bottle and threw it away, shattering it against the wall. He stood up, suddenly looking serious. ”While I know you still aren’t particularly fond of me, if you prefer I can take all the cargo I brought here with me back to Dante’s, if that’s what you want. I did it before, I can do it again. Don’t make me do anything we’ll both regret.”. Envy grimaced.
Gluttony suddenly bumbled into the room and got wide eyed upon seeing Envy. ”See? I told you that he was the flea!”.

Greed growled slightly as Envy came in and spoke. "How the hell did you get in here?" he asked, his voice dripping with venom. Despite the fact that Envy had apparently brought his children, Martel, and Dorochet back, Greed wasn't prepared to trust him. Once he finally was able to speak again, he sighed and told Envy something very simple. "So, you decided to leave the old bitch as well, have you? Well, I don't know where you're going to go, but you can't stay here."

Dorochette was more than happy being back in the nest but it seemed like problems weren't quite over just yet. And he dislike the idea of going back for sure. But he staid quite as he stood beside Martel, wondering if just maybe, very maybe they should do a good word for Envy.

Envy continued to grimace, though now in a sarcastic manner. ”Still as respectful of your older brother as ever, eh Greed? Look. You’re either with me or against me in taking out Dante. I’ve tried to bring these guys to you as a sort of peace offering, but it seems I’ve wasted my time here. . .You’re making a foolish mistake. Soon, I will become powerful enough to do this all by myself. . .Don’t think I’ll just let this go away. I won’t forget about you. . .I’ll come back. Don’t make it come to this. I thought we had something in common, something we could relate to each other with. . .”

"While I do appreciate your doing this for me, Envy, do you really think it makes up for anything? After all, you're the one who took Martel to those bastards in the first place" the greedy homunculus said with a sigh. After a few moments of silence he spoke again. "But, I guess I can at least tell you where you can go. Central's out of the question, obviously, though you could try East city."
Martel looked at Dorochet and shrugged slightly. "I don't know about you, but I really want to sleep now" she said, beginning to walk to her room. Seeing that Greed was speaking to Envy still, she handed her son over to Dorochet before continuing to walk away.

Dorochette looked a little lost at the conversation as he took the baby boy as he got shoven in his arms. "Um yeah sure." He said as he now held the two babies again. He hestitated for a moment before eventually deciding to give hs thoughts a try. "Errr mister Greed..." He asked.

Hearing his right-hand man speak, Greed took his attention away from Envy and turned to Dorochet. "Yeah?" he asked simply. He waited for Dorochet to say whatever was on his mind. Unlike with Envy or Gluttony, where he'd only half-pay attention, with the chimeras, he made sure not only to pay attention but to think about what they had to say.

Envy twitched considerably, particularly when he saw Martel leave. Clearly the chimeras didn’t give a damn either way, it seemed. Without the other homunculi, Envy posed little threat to Dante. . .He needed them on his side, so he decided to bluff to try to get Greed to agree to let him to stay. ”Didn’t you hear what I said earlier? I’d be more then happy to take your babies back to the bitch and pretend this never happened. Don’t you get it? We’re gonna have to work together if we’re ever gonna be rid of her and not have to stay in hiding.". While Envy would be more then happy to just play around with being free and waiting for Dante to die on her own, he wanted to remove her from the picture as soon as possible so he could take her place. . .Once she was gone, the world was his for the taking.

Dorochette somewhat fidgeted a little unsure how to put it. "Forgive my bluntness mister Greed, but don't you think maybe some kind of alliance would always be welcome." He carefully suggested. "Not to extence of course but if there are common goals and commen enemies it would make sense."

Greed sighed slightly, apparently he wasn't going to win completely. Still, he could set limits. "Fine, I'll help you take down the old hag" he said to Envy sounding somewhat reluctant. "And until that happens you can stay here at the Devil's Nest, if you really have to. But, for the most part, you stay out. Besides, you never seemed to like staying in one place". It was fairly true, anyway----before being sealed, the ultimate shield could remember Envy almost always going somewhere, either by orders or from his own choice. There was rarely a time when Envy stayed in one location for more than a couple days unless needed.
A small gurgle from Ariana caught Greed's attention, once again turning him to Dorochet. The homunculus looked down at his newborn children in silence before finally speaking. "So" he said, eyes still locked on the infants, "These are my kids?"

At the question Dorochette grinned broadly as he walked over to his boss, for once self inviting himself to sit beside him on the couch. He held both babies in his arms, showing them off. "This one is a girl, Ariana." He said as he nodded at the little girl. "And this is temporary Julian, the boy." He nodded at the other. "Kids meet your dad!" He added.

Greed couldn't help but smile as he took his son from Dorochet. "He kind of looks like me, doesn't he?" he said, looking down at the boy who stared at him curiously. Hearing the name of the boy, he chuckled slightly. Martel had told him to name the boy, so this name was likely one she had chosen from the top of her head. After all, she probably hadn't thought they'd ever see him again. "I think I'll call him Rico, though". To the greedy homunculus, the name fit his son----it meant brave ruler, after all, and what parent didn't want that for their children?
