[Have a Greed. He is plastered against the floor of a warehouse. He's got a fair amount of blood on him but it seems the wounds are gone, he just slightly dazed.]

You should have let me accompany you! What if you couldn't have healed yourself!?

[Worried semi-scolding is a go! She kneels next to him, though hesitates before she reaches to help him sit up. Now for guilt time.]

I should have been more persistent in coming.

It was supposed to be an easy job. [rubs his neck, pops it once and turns to look at her.]

My healing's just fine. S'not like they tried to rip the stone out. Wouldn't have worked if they tried anyway.

[Makes a frustrated face under mask. Easy job or not... but the healing and stone factor bothers her more.]

You and His Highness are both so reckless sometimes... That is not the point! Someone could have powers that cancel that out, you know.

[Am I being lectured by my bodyguard? What- 8|]

Well- They didn't, am I'm fine already, fuck.

[YES YOU ARE. SHE IS TIRED OF YOUR SHIT, MISTER.]

... [except she totally deflates now. She is a terrible bodyguard baw.]

... what happened? With the deal.

[HEY I MAKE THE RULES HERE YOU CAN'T- sigh]

It was a goddamn set up. Good one, too. They didn't do their homework, though. Thought bullets would put me down. [Shrug.]

What a mess. [Rummages through his coat a little and pulls out his comm. He taps on it and it suddenly starts to beep.]

Ah, there we go.

[I ONLY LISTEN TO YOU 90% OF THE TIME BECAUSE YOU HAVE CONTROL OF LING'S BODY. B|]

... [SILENCE as she watches him rummage and mess with his comm. She's thinking. It shouldn't take much for her to hunt dow--I mean find the people that were involved.]

They will know better, should they see you survived. They... Depending on how determined they are, they may try again.

[You have three chances to guess what your bodyguard is planning, Greedling.]

[penurium.livejournal.com]

[YOU STILL WORK FOR ME SO THERE.]

Yeah, so? Doesn't change the fact they ran off with something that was mine. Good fucking thing I tracked it.

...

[Looks at you. 8|]

[spondere.livejournal.com]

[FIEN.

Looks back at, frowning from behind the mask.]

... there's no reason they should get the chance to.

[FUCK WITH HER BOSS/MASTER COMBO, YOU'LL SOON COME TO REGRET IT.]

[penurium.livejournal.com]

[Deadpan look.]

What. You're plannin' to go after them by yourself? Hell no.

idk I wanted to use the flip icon.

[spondere.livejournal.com]

[FROWNNN.]

It would be easier for me.

ffff

And what the fuck am I going to do when I'm out of a body guard because there's one of you and thirty of them?

Yao agrees with me.

[goihsdih goddamnit Ling.]

You going in alone is just as risky, with or without the Philosopher's Stone. As your bodyguard, I will not let either of you put yourselves into a situation like that again.

[Will later apologize--to Ling--about being so direct. B(]

[penurium.livejournal.com]

We'll both go.
