Log;

She was four minutes early, because it really didn't take that much time to walk over to the fountains from the carousel where she usually waited for Kouya by day. Her stomach grumbled and she put a hand to it, petting it like it was a separate being that needed to be placated.

In between talking to the new arrivals and verbal sparring with Seimei, she'd neglected to eat lunch. And unfortunately, hunger pains were something that Zero could still feel.

"That guy better show up soon," Yamato mused to herself. "Or I'm leaving without him."

The waiter took her order and quickly hurried back, delivering a large helping of vanilla ice cream.

"I dunno," Greed sigh, "Can't say I feel that sad. Actually, I'm a chunk of someone's soul already. I'd rather not be."

Digging her spoon into the cold treat, Yamato considered several different replies to that, discard two of them and went with the third.

"What would you rather be, then? Normal human?"

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"No. Autonomous. Unbound to anything. Free."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"You sound like Ritsuka-chan now," she said.

"But I think we're all bound to something. No one's ever really free."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"Exactly. I said that. That's the problem. I don't WANT a connection to my creator. It makes me more vulnerable."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"I think you have to become a God in order to manage that kind of freedom."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"Eh, I'm sure there's a way out there, somewhere. Comin' here was a big step. As long as my siblings don't come here. That could be bad."

Greed plunked down more money to pay for the tip and dessert.

"You about ready to go?"

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"Siblings? Oh god, there are more of you?"

Yamato cleared the last bit of dessert from her bowl, then pushed her chair back from the table.

"Ready when you are."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"Unfortunately. Six more. Lust, Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, and Wrath. Wrath is the one who kicked my ass before I came here."

He got up from his seat and offered a hand to help her up.

"I never told you?"

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"You mentioned the homunculus thing, not the having siblings thing."

She placed her hand in his and let him pull her from her seat.

"Seven deadly sins...how pretentiously symbolic."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"I guess so. Maybe the Old Man's nuts."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"If I ever see him, I'll suggest that. See what he says."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"No. Hope you don't see him. That's what I say. As a matter of fact, if you do, you should run."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"Oh?" Her eyebrows quirked upwards. "Don't think I can handle myself?"

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"Imagine your entire body deconstructing at a molecular level with one touch. That's pretty much what he'd do."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"To this body? Must be crazy."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"He can do it to anything. Organic or not."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"But would he be any good in a spell battle?"

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"Considering he can transmute everything around you and negate whatever you throw? Probably."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"That's no fun then. You don't think he'll come here though, right?"

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"...Well, I didn't BEFORE. Now I sure as hell am, since ya' reminded me."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"Sorry! Um...if it makes you feel better, I'm hoping Nagisa-sensei never comes here either. 'Cause if she does, I'm toast."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"...Does she have powers?"

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"If she can make others to replace us, she can make others to destroy us. Although-" Bitter laughter. "-it would probably only be me getting the axe. Nagisa-sensei's always made it clear. Kouya is the important one. I am expendable."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"That kinda' sucks. But people usually come here alone. If she came, she wouldn't have any reinforcements."
