Greed frowned slightly, lowing the shield on his face. "Since when has Envy ever been truthful?" he asked bitterly. "I knew the bastard for years before you were born, so I know how he is".

Gluttony shrugged. “I dunno. Why would he lie?”. Things would have to be spelled out for him before he’d ever realize he was being used.

"Gluttony, Envy just told you all this so he'd be able to get Martel" Greed said angrily, trying to explain it. Dorochette stood nearby, hands on his sword. "And I promise you will die too many times to come back if anything happens to her or those kids".

Gluttony took a moment to think it over, straining his extremely limited gray matter. After a few moments, the lights finally went on in his head. “Ooooooh. . .”. Gluttony chuckled nervously. “Uh, sorry?”. While he’d realized that he was being used, the gears in his mind weren’t cranking fast enough for him to think of trying to stop Envy.

"You're not even close to being sorry, Gluttony" Greed said, narrowing his eyes slightly. He wasn't going to forgive Gluttony so quickly.

Gluttony just chuckled nervously some more as Greed stared at him menacingly. He forced himself to work his brain some more as he tried to think of a way out of this, as when this sort of thing usually happened, Gluttony was in for some punishment. After a pause, Gluttony said in a rather frantic manner “Uhhh. . .It’s not too late! We can get her back!”.
Gluttony put his nose to the floor like a dog and rapidly sniffed to try to pinpoint Martel. Despite Envy already being long gone from the Devil’s Nest, Gluttony’s sense of smell dwarfed that of even canines. Suddenly, he seemed to pick up Martel’s smell and quickly went out of the room, following the smell. “I’ve got it!”.

"You sure you wanna do this, Gluttony?" Greed asked, surprised that Gluttony seemed so willing to help.
The canine-chimera followed after the homunculus. He wanted to get Martel back as much as Greed did. The two of them were close friends, almost like siblings.

Gluttony looked back at Greed, lifting his face from the ground briefly. He let out one the most sincere of smiles that he could and said “Of course, why wouldn’t I?”. Gluttony wasn’t terribly fond of Greed, but he was trying to suck up to him like a child would to a parent. It was clear that Dante and Envy didn’t want him, so he had no choice but to stay in Greed’s favor.

The Ultimate Shield smiled slightly. "Just be careful, kid." he said, smirking slightly. "Don't want you getting yourself sealed on my account".

Gluttony nodded to Greed, then continued sniffing out Martel’s trail. However; he missed Martel by a mile, passing by the room Envy had left through. Instead, Gluttony continued down the hall and entered a different room. He opened up a dresser and stuck his fat head inside, then pulled out an old bra of Martel’s. Seems Martel was too far away to smell after all, at least with his own foul odor messing with his sense of smell. Gluttony shrugged again and chuckled nervously.

Greed sighed slightly. "Worth a shot, Gluttony" he said, frowning. He wasn't going to pretend he wasn't disappointed. But, he didn't want to make Gluttony feel worse then he obviously already did. The guy was like a little child, after all.

Gluttony smiled slightly at Greed’s complement, but it slowly faded as reality dimmed in that he’d failed. “So what now, Greed? How do we get your Martel back?”.

"Envy probably took her to Dante's base. No way in hell are we going to get in there" Greed said, not even looking at Gluttony or Dorochette. He was trying to think of a way to get Martel back. He wanted his kids too, but hopefully they'd get both; that Dante wasn't going to do whatever she planned for Martel before they could help her.

Gluttony whimpered slightly at even so much as the thought of potentially going to Dante. “We can stop him before he gets there, right?”. He didn’t realize that it was all but impossible by now, processing things at a very slow pace.

It was Dorochette who answered. "I doubt we'll be able to catch them now" he said, sounding somewhat depressed. He looked at Greed. He wanted to offer condolences, but there was nothing to say.

Gluttony let out a disappointed sigh also. “Sorry. . .” was all he could manage to utter out. Gluttony thought of Greed’s relationship with Martel, then compared it to his own with Lust. While he didn’t understand love, he recognized that Greed deeply cared for Martel. Greed had lust Martel just as he had lost Lust. After a pause, Gluttony began to speak again with surprisingly slightly thought out words. “I know how you feel. . .But. . .At least we have each other, right?”. Gluttony got a slight smile and went over to hug Greed. While the hug was genuinely meant to be affectionate, it was quite the back breaker.

"Get off" Greed said, pushing Gluttony off him somewhat half-heartedly. He didn't want to treat the kid so bad, but he couldn't help it. He was angry at Gluttony---it was because of him that Envy had gotten away with Martel. And if Greed knew Dante, and he did, she'd probably be dead as soon as Dante was done with her.

Gluttony sighed at his failed attempt to get attention, although he knew that this was all ultimately his fault anyway. Whenever he was around, all he ever seemed to do was mess things up or get on people’s nerves. Wasn’t there anything he could do right? There’s no way he could let something like this happen again. . .He was just starting to be accepted here, then he blew it all in an attempt to see Lust again. While he thought he would finally see her face once more, in reality Envy, Dante and the others didn’t want him. There was no way he was ever going to fall for that again. The Devil’s Nest had been so accepting of him, and he’d lost it all. . .There was nowhere else for him to go. If he ever wanted that back, he’d have to build his reputation back up. While Gluttony didn’t think this all out with such detail, he ultimately decided that he had to stay loyal to Greed. Perhaps after a couple hundred years the overweight homunculi was finally starting to mature?

"So, you think we have any chance to get her back here?" Greed asked Gluttony, attempting to smirk. He was trying to lighten the mood. Maybe then they'd be able to think of something.

Gluttony smiled back slightly at Greed’s half hearted attempt at a smirk. “Yes, yes! There must be a way!”. Gluttony scratched his chin in thought to attempt to come up with an actual way to do so, but that was far beyond him. It was far too late to stop them now, much less for Gluttony of all people to come up with a way to do so.
