"Burn in hell" Martel said simply, to Dante. "You do know she's the one who ordered Bradley to beat Wrath, right?" the chimera asked Rose. She then heard one of the babies crying from upstairs- Arden. Shaking her head, Martel headed upstairs to see what was up with her. That and hopefully calm her down before she woke her brother.

Rose eyes filled with tears as she stumbled and fell backwards, very nearly losing Cain from her grip in the process.. "N-no..." she sobbed, "Wh-why?!" she asked in tears, taking Cain in ehr amr and stepping backwards, "NO! I refuse to believe that! You're too nice to do anything like that, Ly- Dante." she said a smile on ehr face.

"Yes, I still need employment. It will be good to get me away from the madness here from time to time and also I have a lady to woo and give expensive gifts and such." he answered with a chuckle.

DANTE
Dante quirked an eyebrow, surprised that Rose still believed that she was a nice person. The girl had a lot of faith in her; that, or she simply couldn't accept the truth that her best friend wasn't exactly who she said she was.
"Hello, Alphonse," she greeted Al quickly as she stood up. Even though Alphonse apologized for striking her, she was still far from fond of the boy. If he ever raised a hand to her again, though, he wouldn't be around much longer. She was sure of that.
"Don't pay that awful woman any mind, Rose," Dante advised as she walked over to Rose, running a delicate hand down her cheek. Rose was absolutely beautiful and truly had a body worthy of housing Dante's soul. If Rose wanted to follow her, then she would allow it. And, if the occasion ever arose, she would have a decent host body nearby.
BRADLEY
"You should be happy to hear the position of my personal assistant is open. It's a very well-paying position, and offers full medical and dental coverage. What do you say?" Bradley inquired with that wide, charismatic smile of his.

"Yes.. .. I shall still like to be your firend, Ly- Dante." she said a she looked ta the girl fondly. "I am sure you are not a terrible as people say you are. After all, you helped to liberate all of Liore and I ahve never forgotten that." she said witha sincere smile.
A tall man alomost six feet tall stood outside the house looking at a small peice of paper, "Is this where she lives?" he wondered. He had short black hair and pierceing blue eyes... He was dressed in mostly leather witha white tee shirt underneath a leather jacket.. "Hmmm... Here goes nothing.." he muttered as he knocked on the doors.

"I don't know why you're crying" Martel said, looking down at the whimpering infant. "I just fed and changed you like five minutes ago, so that can't be it. So what's wrong?". As she asked this, she picked up the baby girl and led her close. Arden instantly stopped crying, causing Martel to stare at her. "You've gotta be kidding me" she said, as though she couldn't believe it.

"Thank you, Rose," Dante thanked her 'friend' with a small smile. The foolish Lioran was nothing more tha putty in her hands! She was gaining more pawns day by day.
"Let me get that," said Dante, hearing someone knocking on the door. Walking to the front door, she opened it and gave the man an obviously forced smile. She was quite aggravated that someone was interrupting her precious time with her latest puppet. "Hello, how may I help you?"

"Uh.. Maybe but probally not... My name is Cain.. I'm looking for a woman named Rose..." The guy answered looking rather confused. "Heh. Sorry. I'll just go, I thought I saw her come into this house."

Envy grinned as he came up from the basement. He was a bit dirty, and had some oil on him, and his hands were covered in thick worker's gloves but he didn't seem to notice as he headed into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of juice and downed in a couple of gulps. He brushed back his bangs from his face and looked around. He frowned as he went into the other room to see his mother talking to a man at the door and frowned. She had another guy in her life, obviously enough and he didn't like it. It might end up the same way as the first time, and certainly wasn't worth it in his eyes, but then if he argued, she'd get mad at him. Maybe it wasn't worth the effort, but he shrugged those thoughts off and put on an oddly happy face.

Just before Cain could do anything, he was shoved away...By none other than Scar. He was angry...Well, what else was new? Only this time, he was doing something very...unlike him. He walked up to Dante, and stared down at her. "You might want to call Dr. Marco for an appointment." He stated coldly. "Because I'm not going to let you lead me around like a dog on a leash. Abort the damned child. I don't care. But if you or your fucking lackeys EVER hurt someone in this house, ESPECIALLY a child, I swear to God I will kill you. I don't care WHO gets hurt in the process, I don't care if i go to jail, I will KILL you, and ANYONE who tries to stop me!"
There was a firm resolve in his eyes. "You can call me a brute and a barbarian untill the end of time. I don't give a damn! I'm a barbarian, I have no qualms with admitting it, but at least I'm not a spineless, twisted creature that feels they have the right to rule humanity like you!" Without waiting for one of her remarks, he puched past her, into the house, and stormed upstairs without so much as a glance to Rose...who was probably shocked right about now.

Martel sighed as Arden began to wail again. Surprisingly, her brother was still sleeping soundly. Still, she didn't want to risk him waking up- the last thing she needed was to have two crying babies. So, she went out into the hall, bumping into Scar as she got out of the door. "Damn" Martel said, under her breath as she hit him lightly, "Sorry about that".

Dante quirked an eyebrow at the stranger when he mentioned Rose. After he gave his name, however, it was all abundantly clear to her; Rose's child was named Cain, so obviously this man was very close to her.
"I'm sorry, sir, but unfortunately there isn't a woman named...." Dante slowly drifted off when she saw a furious Scar hastily approaching her.
The alchemist listened as Scar exploded, her facial features tightening in fury at every word that came out of his mouth. Her eyes blazed with unimaginable anger, her teeth were clenched together, and her nails were digging into the pale flesh of her hands.
"How... dare you!" Dante shrieked at the top of her lungs as she spun around, neglecting to close the door behind her. The infuriated woman rushed after her lover at a speed one wouldn't expect from a pregnant woman. Catching up with Scar, she latched onto his arm and dug her sharp nails into it.
"Now you listen to me and you listen good," Dante began, her eyes narrowed dangerously and her tone cool and controlled. "I, in consideration of your feelings, decided to keep the child even if you failed to uphold your end of the bargain - which you didn't. Lead you around like a dog on a leash? All I asked is that you romance me and make me feel loved again, which you didn't even try to do. Now, I'm not too sure if I even want to keep this damned thing."
"And as for Wrath," she went on, "what I ordered Pride to do to him was completely justified. He knowingly and willingly defied a direct order of mine even after I explained the logic behind it to him on many, many occasions. Sometimes violence is the only option, something you seem to embody. I was not doing it out of malice; I was correcting his behavior. And I was even kind enough to try to usher the little girl out of the room before it happened. I am in the right."
Dante paused effectively, then went on, "...And if you ever, ever insult me or threaten my life again, you will regret it dearly. Do I make myself perfectly clear?"
Finishing her rant, Dante let out a profound sigh and leaned against the nearby wall, closing her eyes and rubbing her temples. She was sick to her stomach and had a migraine, so needless to say this was the last thing she needed. "For the love of..."

"Personal assistant you say? That sounds excellent! What exactly will I be assisting you with?" Frank asked.
He heard the sound of shouting in the house; Scar and Dante and the skin on the back of his neck prickled. He felt the urge to run and see what the nonsense was all about, but couldn't very well walk away from an important employment discussion. Of course if it got violent, which was not uncommon in this house, he would not hesitate to aid the lady. So he kept his ears sharp, doing his best to hear both conversations at once.
"Oh, one more thing, Fuhrer, if I may," he continued, "Do you have any way of helping me secure the proper paperwork for this world? I don't even have so much as a identification card or 'social security' card, whatever that's for."

Not wanting to deal with Scar and Dante arguing, Martel decided to get the hell out of there. With Arden still whimpering slightly in her arms, she started to walk down the halls. Coming to the Hughes' door, she adjusted the baby and knocked on the door lightly.

"Well, Scar and Dante are pissed at each other, that Rose woman apparently thinks Dante is a good person, and I'm trying to figure out how to make her". She nodded towards her daughter. "Go to sleep. I mean, she was screaming before, and Nikolai slept through it. But, she won't stay asleep for more than five minutes".

Gracia grinned, "Thsi is going to sound corny but sing a lullaby.. They fall asleep easier when sang to. See? 'Close your eyes until teh new day. Let the magic of all sweep you away. To the stars in the heavens where all dreams come true.. Up in the heavens someone's wathcing out for you..." she sang sweetly.

Martel rose an eyebrow. "I'm not sure I'd do so good with a lullaby. I mean, the only one I've ever heard myself was about death.....My mom was a really weird person" she said, looking at Gracia. No doubt the other woman would be shocked by this. "I just want her to go to sleep so I can try to clean up the rec room a little. It stinks in there, and since I'm to blame...." She trailed off slightly.

Gracia laughed and stepped outsiode, "0kay, okay... I'll play baby-sitter, so you can get some work done, Martel."
Cain meanwhile was outside calmly veiwing Scar and Dante's argument. As they were still in a heated argument he walked inside the house and promptly got lost.. "Uh......" was all he said looking at Martel and Gracai, "Excuse me, ladies, but do you know where I can find Rose? The name's Cain."

Martel smiled at Gracia and handed her the baby, who instantly placed an open mouth on the woman's shoulder. "Thank you, just be careful. She's really growing into her name" she warned, before she heard Cain. "I think she's downstairs, with Cain......" She froze, looking somewhat confused. Rose had said her son was named for her dead boyfriend. And this guy had the same name as the baby boy.
