She exhaled softly and adjusted the ruff of her heavy winter coat, her eyes still trained on the relevant coordinates that had been transferred to her communicator. She really would have to take Knives up on his offer, she thought, and learn how to do these things herself--his patience with her would only hold up for so long.

Lust knew what Greed's new body looked like. She knew where his communicator was, and the direction in which he was moving. She knew he would be rounding the corner to this city block soon. She didn't know how he would react to seeing her, or just how quickly he would recognize his own sister, but was there really anything she could do about that? All there was to do was wait.

Greed was annoyed. He'd been in this damn City already for how long? He had shit to get back to and worlds to take over and he was stuck in some weird ass future city with no one and nothing.

At least for now. He had some ideas for what to do with the situation but that didn't mean he was happy about it.

He turned the corner, looking for that Chinese place Yao said would give him a discount. Once he did he stopped dead in his tracks.

He noticed her a good ten seconds before she did, to his credit, but once she did pick up on Greed's presence Lust's reaction was instantaneous.

So this was what had happened to him.

Lust smiled slightly, but made no moves toward him; it would be beyond annoying if she spooked him and he started to run. Not that he had ever been the type, of course, but there was more than one mind in that body, and she knew next to nothing about the second one. Hundreds of questions were already coming to mind, but she could and would rein them in; if she overdid it now, after all, none of them would be answered.

So it was her. Greed made no move of his own for now. Moving too quickly would possibly provoke her for what ever reason she was here to begin with. He wasn't going to rule out her stabbing him to death as a reason.

And if one of them was here, another tended to follow. Selena, was it? Had mentioned Envy. The bitch was probably hiding out somewhere as they stood here in silence.

Greed's ideas of self-preservation had improved just a bit with the body-snatching, Lust was sure to find out. Slowly, Greed turned to face Lust.

"S'gotta be a record, sis. It's been hardly a week and you're already breakin' the deal."

"Excuse me, little brother?" Lust said, without a single waver in her expression, and she took a single step forward. "I don't think this really counts." She was still smiling, one hand on her hip and the other hanging casually at her side; nothing predatory to her stance unless you already knew her. "Unless you're in the middle of something important?"

"Dinner, actually." He answered with a small roll of his shoulders. He noted her step forward but made no such move towards or away from her.

"But nothin' dire." He cocked an eyebrow. "So to what should I owe this visit, hm? Must have gone to a lot of trouble to track me down like this." He'd like to know how she even did it, but a place like this he really didn't want to ask. It seemed like there was a machine for everything. It kind of pissed him off. If she could do this again ...

"Not so much as you'd think," she said, smiling deferentially. "But I'd feel terrible if you went hungry because I wanted to talk, Greed. What were you going to eat?"

A roll of his shoulders and Greed pointed casually to the Chinese restaurant down the street some.

It really was uncanny how well the gestures and tics matched up with the Greed she remembered, Lust thought, even with the new body's proportions. Not that that shouldn't be expected; on most levels, after all, this was him. She exhaled noticeably (since, you know, it was nearing balls-cold outside and her breath was visible), raising her eyebrows.

"Well," she said, "there's no reason why I'd deny you that, if you can stand the company. Come on," she added, trying to sound for all the world like the big sister she technically was, "I'll pay for you."

THE MAGIC WORDS?!?

And that made him pause. Nothing that he could remember suggested Lust would do a damn thing for him unless it suited some kind of purpose for herself.

But then again, she did offer to pay. Greed slid his hands into his pockets, one, because it was balls-cold outside and two, because it irritatingly reminded him that he really didn't have a cent on him.

In the back of his head he heard Yao tell him to be cautious. Greed almost snorted. He shrugged again. "Alright. You win, I'll come."

"Good."

She smiled again, perfunctorily, then started walking again, this time in the direction of the restaurant he'd indicated, possibly swinging her hips slightly more than she needed to in self-satisfaction--but really, that was just how she walked. He'd know enough to follow her, and the small talk could wait.

And he did. Hands still in pockets he followed along behind Lust. He did a pretty good job of not staring at her ass, too.

When they finally got to the restaurant it was thankfully not very crowded. He kept alert though, no telling what Lust really had up her sleeve.

OH GREED, YOU SO WACKY. Lust completely ignored the poor waitress standing idly near the door and, scanning the room, picked the most isolated table in it. And sat down at it, giving her brother no room to argue. Wow, this tag is shit.

He sat down opposite to her, folding his hands on the table.

He gave a moments pause before venturing, "So."

Elbows securely on the table, Lust leaned forward to rest her chin on her interlaced fingers, and smiled. Like a creeper. Which she was.

"You have every reason to be upset with me, don't you?" she said.
