Within the Nest

[silverviper2134]

Greed scowled slightly, almost wishing he hadn't said anything. But, he couldn't change it now. "Let's just say we had a little visit from Pride" he told the gecko-chimera on the other line.

[Dorochet [Bido]]

The other side of the line staid quite for a while. "Did many die?" It was quite a straight forward question but there was no use to it to charm the question up. If the military had passed by then some of the chimera's had died with no doubt. Of course Bido hopped he was wrong but he had been through a war as well and he wasn't stupid or that naïve.

[silverviper2134]

"Unfortunately, yes. At least plenty of those bastards died along with them" he said, obviously referring to the soldiers as bastards. He couldn't help but chuckle as he thought of some other events of the day. "And, I learned not to piss Martel off. She almost scares me".

[Dorochet [Bido]]

Bido staid quite for a moment again. "Do you have any other orders boss?" He than asked, hoping he could still tagg along with the events around Lior for a little longer. "I could keep following him." He suggested meaning Barry. He didn't wanted to know yet who had died and who hadn't, he would find that out when he was back home again.

[silverviper2134]

"Depends. If you think you can keep the soldiers and Kimblee from blowing your head off, than stay. If not, get your ass back here" he instructed. He felt it was more appropriate to give his subordinates choices, rather than simply tell them what to do.

[Dorochet [Bido]]

"I'll stay." Bido said lightly. "I don't think I have to worry about Zolf." He really didn't as he was sure he could trust the alchemist. But it was proabably something Greed wouldn't care to hear anyway to Bido kept these thoughts to himself. "I'll call again if I have new news."

[silverviper2134]

"Fine. Just make sure you come back here once you have more information about that armored guy" Greed insctruced before hanging up the phone.

Marco had finished on the two chimera by the the the call ended, now that this was done it seemed like his work was done for now. "Is that all or do you require me to stay here?" He asked, making note of Greeds response to his words.

[silverviper2134]

"I'd suggest spending the night" Greed said with an almost sarcastic grin as he walked back over to the bar. He took a swig from a bottle of vodka.

[discorantentity]

"Very well then, looks like I'll be here tonight." Marco replied as he sat down somewhere and looked over to the two chimera who were now just resting, next time they shouldn't be as reckless as their injuries could have been prevented. "You know how much I hate my previous research, despite how useful it is. Too many were put at risk, and it was never meant to be used like a weapon. I never want a repeat of Ishballa..." He mused quietly, as if he was still bothered by his actions that day that killed many in that city.

[silverviper2134]

Greed rose an eyebrow at Marco's words and smirked slightly. "Really, you need to lighten up" he told the doctor, grabbing a bottle of whiskey. He tossed the bottle at Marco and shrugged his shoulders. "Have a drink; relax a little. I mean, it's not like you can change what happened, right?"

[discorantentity]

"Right, it's already happened and can't be taken back." Marco replied as he caught the bottle and took a drink from the offered bottle, he knew it could not be taken back and still he let it hang above his head like a dark cloud.

[silverviper2134]

After taking a swig from his own bottle, Greed glanced at Marco. He remained silent for several moments, then he finally spoke again. "So" the homunculus began casually, "You ever worked with kids before?"

[discorantentity]

"A little, not much in the past though. Mostly I was doing my research, but that's a subject I'd rather not talk about." Marco replied and took another drink, he wondered where the future would go for everyone. Things happening as they were painted a picture that could go either way, and if they could not get the kids back yet then what would become of them.

[silverviper2134]

"Damn. And here I was hoping you could help me out a little" Greed said with a bit of a smirk. Really, he knew he needed some help with figuring out how to deal with the twins. The chimeras weren't much of a help, seeing how they seemed to enjoy watching him confusedly try and figure out how to just hold the newborns. Well, what did they expect? He'd never held a baby before, especially not one this small. And, besides, he'd been unable to move for over a centurary.

[discorantentity]

"That I can tell you a little, that's about all. You have to support their necks with your arm as you hold them, you cradle them or hold one hand underneath and the other behind their head and neck." Marco replied and then took another drink, he knew the basics of that and not much else. He'd been too involved in his work to even have a family, though now he sometimes wished that he had made the time so that he could have avoided some of the consequences and actions. "Did that help any?"

[silverviper2134]

"Not really, but thanks anyway" Greed said, taking a drink himself. It appeared he'd just have to get used to this on his own. Of course the chimeras would probably help a bit, but he needed them for more important matters.

[discorantentity]

Marco nodded and then went back to thinking, whatever he needed to do here now was probably linked to their return. So instead of trying to figure it out, he decided to ask. "Are you expecting anymore injuries, or will you need my help with other matters." He swallowed more whiskey, not intending on losing himself in the bottle but enough to focus on the here and now.

((Kimblee and steadily growing Co. will be arriving here shortly ;D))
