WHO: Patience, Greed & Zoe
WHEN: Monday morning
WHERE: Out in the city
WHAT: So a Virtue, a Sin, and a mortal walk into a...
WARNING: Hahaha.

Greed and Zoe didn't get a chance to talk in the morning like she wanted after Greed's big reveal the day before, Zoe had an early class that she completely forgot about and the conversation had to happen in bits and pieces over the next few days. But they had time, with Gabe still away and Lust busy, Greed was practically living at Zoe's. It wasn't all smooth sailing, there was so much he did that was alien and how he acted but as long as he was honest, Zoe sorta accepted it and tried to deal. It was a learning process really, for the both of them since neither had been in this position before. Unbeknownst to Zoe, things around the apartment, including Gabe's pop music CD's, started to disappear. Nothing too big but enough to suggest that someone was either a klepto or..

The relationship was a pretty innocent one. They couldn't have sex, Greed could barely stand her kisses. So they spent a lot of time cuddling and Greed would coax kisses out of Zoe, who always needed convincing since she hated to make him sick. When they slept together, it was quite in the literal sense, with no hanky panky whatsoever. Before the sin stuff, Zoe wanted to talk about 'us'. And they decided that they didn't want to name whatever it was that they were. They liked being with each other and no one knew that they were spending time together so if it was just the two of them in the world, they didn't need to define it, they already knew what it was.

She hadn't asked a ton about sin stuff because she was still trying to wrap her head around it. Any time she felt like maybe he was crazy, all he had to do was kiss her and get violently ill to remind her that yeah that was not normal. The night before they had a movie night with scary movies, it was supposed to be to get Zoe to get over her fears but it was more like Greed liked making her jump and jump into his arms. Zoe watched the movie in different positions, sprawled out on Greed with her arms and head in his lap, at one end of the couch when he'd purposely scare her but she never stayed there for long, climbing on him, at times the blanket over her head, curled against him, hiding behind her knees, her hands covering her face, etc.

Zoe had gotten used to Greed in her bed and the sleep she got was peaceful when he was there. In the morning, they got ready and were going to have a more in depth conversation about everything while they got some food. They walked down the street, her hand occasionally brushing against his, "Know what I want?" she smiled, "Greek food. It's been awhile since I've had some 'awesome fries.'"

	Patience frowned, confused, at Greed. "What're you talking about?" He looked back at Zoe and shrugged. "Yeah, we know each other, unfortunately." He gave a long-suffering sigh, implying all the ways that would be unfortunate. "I didn't realise he was the guy sending you the annoying texts." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Zoe was a little blown away, "Small world.." she said with an odd tone as she looked at Patience. She kinda made a face and looked to the side and down when Patience mentioned the texts, a little irked. She hadn't known the two knew each other! Ugh, damnit..

She frowned severely at Greed though who was kinda coming off as a crazy person. "Have you lost your mind?" she asked him and put a hand on his chest as a way of saying can you please calm down. "Freddie doesn't even know where I live." she gave Greed a troubled look, not knowing why he was acting like this. "You should be thanking him," since he looked like he wanted to murder Patience, "If it wasn't for Freddie I wouldn't be standing here next to you right now." her words sharp because what the hell?

It was hard for Greed to play any side when a Virtue was in the picture. With Patience there it made him look that much more awful. It wasn't even Charity, his opposite, it was dirty Patience. Greed snuffed his nose into the air. "Sure he doesn't."

It made his skin crawl really, he was on the defensive side because Patience was busting in on him real quick. Greed hadn't even told his Sin siblings (other than Lust) that he was playing around with Zoe. Now Patience was a threat. He was always a threat to taking away what Greed wanted.

"I what??" Patience looked at Zoe aghast, the bottom falling out of his stomach. That wasn't what he'd- if he'd known- If Patience ever swore, now would be the time. He looked at Greed, trying to hide his horror of what he'd inadvertently done.

"...just trying to help," he said weakly to Zoe, trying to shrug it off and smile through it. Double darn it. Shoot. Fudge.

Zoe shot Greed a look, "Stop making Freddie sound like a stalker. He works for the police department, he's not gonna be some creeper that hangs around my apartment."

She smiled at Patience and said, "Yeah.. if you hadn't given me that advice I don't know what I'd have done, probably the usual." which she'd told Patience had been to run and play it safe. She bumped Greed lightly and gave him a soft smile despite being aggravated before looking back at Patience, "I can't imagine anything more difficult.. well you know him.." she said with a small laugh, cause Greed was a handful.

She looked at Greed, "Do you want to try calming down? I still want my fries."

"He is a stalker." Greed sounded so serious, he didn't even stop before adding on to her statement. Greed shot Patience a look that said this was his turf. In some ways Zoe was invisible right now because not only was Patience a dirty, stinking Virtue but they had history. History that only bubbled up with having all three of them there. He still blamed Patience for it even if Greed knew in the end he'd broken Josephine.

"Oh," he feigned a smile, "I'm perfectly calm."

	"I am not a stalker," Patience said, frowning at Greed. He felt a little bit sick and had completely lost his appetite, but he wasn't about to walk out. "It's not all about you, you know." He turned to Zoe and put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry about this," he said, looking apologetic. "We've never really got on. I didn't realise you knew him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Zoe patted Greed's stomach and eyed him, "Yeah, calm like a serial killer.." she'd never seen him so dangerously serious and pissed.

Zoe smiled at Patience, giving a nervous chuckle, "Yeah.. I'm starting to sense that." and she looked from him back to Greed wondering what the history was there. She wasn't entirely surprised they didn't get on. Greed was very.. different. She doubted many people could handle him.

"Even serial killers have smiles." His grin grew wider. Last time he'd run into Patience it was a little more light, but this was under new circumstances.

"Quit sounding so nice. Like a virtue," his gaze honed in to Patience. Yeah, he'd said it. But unknown to Patience Zoe had been filled in a little. Whether she believed him was a different story. He eyed the spot Patience touched on Zoe, as if she needed to wash it.

"Yeah, we get along like oil and vinegar. I think its his buddy, buddy style and that face."

	"I think it's your inability to treat people with respect," Patience shot back, taking his hand away from Zoe. Zoe was not far off on her accusation of murder. How many had Greed destroyed in his time? "How can I not sound nice?" What an odd accusation. He narrowed his eyes at Greed slightly. Like a virtue? What was he getting at? Aside from the obvious.

Zoe was kinda at a loss, the virtue comment going over her head since she was barely keeping up at the moment, "Yeah well most people are friendly.. it's kinda what they--" and then Patience was sounding off. She frowned, the situation was escalating very quickly.

She put a hand on Greed's chest and one on Patience's torso near his shoulder as if to keep them separate, more a metaphorical gesture than a physical one. "Okay! You're both acting like jackasses." she looked at Patience, "And I'm still hungry." she looked at Greed then, "Can I trust you two to resolve whatever this is while I go get some food? Or am I going to come back and find crime scene tape?"

Greed was already threading that crime tape around Patience like a noose in his mind. It was enough to give him a real smile. It settled him for now. He knocked his stare for a moment to actually look at Zoe for the first time since Patience had gotten there. He leaned down giving her a kiss on the cheek. It may have been for keeping up appearances, but Patience was making him look bad just by waving his ugly self into view. He throw out his nice guy side for now, though Zoe was bound to know he was playing and not being real at all.

"Go get those fries."

	Patience straightened his shoulders and clenched his jaw as Greed kissed Zoe, displeased, but he wasn't going to say anything. He wanted to walk away so badly, but he couldn't let himself. Zoe needed his protection. He just nodded curtly in response to Zoe's question, clenching his fingers into a fist in frustration. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Zoe barely reacted to Greed's kiss on her cheek, she just gave him the same look. Big brown eyes looking like a sad puppy. She knew he wasn't being real and she didn't like it. He knew she hated it. But she didn't say anything, stepping away from them but throwing glances back as she didn't trust them to be on their own. If they hated each other so much why were they even around each other?

She wasn't gone more than a minute, placing an order and being handed an order of fries up front. She came back with them and looked from one guy to the other, "No blood. I'm impressed." she wasn't impressed.
