WHO: Sloth and Greed
WHEN: late Wednesday
WHERE: on the street
WHAT: Not quite apologising

Sloth sat by himself on the back of a parked car, sparking a lighter. He'd got tired of sitting inside, and had decided to get some fresh air and smoke outside instead. So he'd gone for a walk, and when he'd got tired he'd hoisted himself onto the back of the car and rolled himself a joint. A police officer had stopped to inquire into his activities, but had inexplicably not seen the point in writing anything down. People would just keep breaking the law anyway. What was the point in prosecuting tiny infractions like this? So Sloth sat in the gathering dusk and shook his lighter, frustrated. The thing wouldn't spark long enough to light anything and he had no money to buy a new one. Surely if he kept trying, he'd be able to get enough flame. The spark was sluggish though, and wouldn't catch.

Greed was still a bit annoyed. Patience always swung in with his ugly face to ruin his fun. Watching people fight over their bank accounts set him in a good mood. Married couples were a riot these days because they made the mistake of getting joint accounts. When they pissed each other off, the urge to swipe the other for all they had was always the most viable conclusion.

Greed was dressed spiffy today. Airing out his money as he called it. If it hadn't been for that sluggish feeling that hit his senses as he passed, he wouldn't have even seen Sloth. Greed pulled out a fancy lighter (not that he smoked that often, but sometimes for the sake of an image he needed it). He flicked the lever giving a steady flame for his fellow Sin. He didn't know why he bothered, Sloth had overstepped his bounds. "I should set you on fire, not your joint." He sighed looking upward and putting the lighter back in his pocket, "but I'm in a good mood today."

	Sloth jerked back a little as the flame suddenly appeared in front of him, but he still lit his joint off it. He didn't say anything for a minute or so, just inhaled deeply, then offered it to Greed as a silent gesture of reconciliation. He wasn't about to apologise for what he did, but he didn't want to hold on to the grudge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Greed shoved Sloth lightly after taking the joint. "Asshole." He took a long drag, the smoke spreading around him as he exhaled. "Now that's some good shit." He hung onto it a little longer. If Sloth wasn't careful, Greed would swipe it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sloth snapped his fingers at Greed to pass it back. "Don't hog it, dickweed," he said, his voice a little raspy. He wasn't used to talking much lately. When he got it back he eyed Greed as he inhaled the smoke, then made smoke rings as he exhaled.

"Where're you off to lookin all fancy?" he asked. By not addressing the problem, it was safely avoided once more, and moved on from never to be spoken of again.

	Greed snatched it again when Sloth had had a good drag. It was some kind of unspoken reconciliation. He smoothed his hands over the jacket. "Why do I have to have a reason. I like dressing up." Lust liked her boys clean and handsome. He wasn't about to say I'm going to hang out with my mortal girl toy. Not yet anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sloth shrugged one shoulder. It was of no odds to him what greed wanted to dress like. Sloth himself wasn't exactly a snappy dresser, anyone in clean jeans and a shirt was posh to him. After a moment, he glanced at Greed. "How's Lust," he asked, his one concession that he may have gone a little overboard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least Sloth wasn't pushy, the bastard was too damn lazy to pry into his business. It was good, because he liked Sloth better when he was on his side. Greed cleared his throat. He was over it now, but it had been a sore spot for a while. As long as Sloth didn't do it again. "She's Lascivious Lust again. I can't complain." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nodding slowly, Sloth took his joint back. "Okay. Good." He sniffed and rubbed his nose on his sleeve. He glanced at Greed again, scraping his mind for something to say. "Um. Are you hungry?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There won't be a next time Sloth," that was his only warning. They could all push their boundaries too far, Greed had done it before. It hadn't been with his siblings, but if he ever woke up one day to that dark side that all of them could possess, there would be hell in his path. He ruffled Sloth's hair like an older brother. "Starving." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sloth lifted his chin and gave Greed a steady look, not defiant but not giving way either. It was understood. He slid off the back of the car, sucked down the last of his joint, then crushed the butt under his toe. He nodded towards a Burger King not far away, and shoved his hands in his pockets. "But I don't have any money." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Greed rolled his eyes. "You lazy shit, get a job as a lab rat or something. Then you'll have money. You know how I am with sharing." He pushed Sloth forward. It was like asking a slug not to bake in the sun.

"You tell me how to get Patience off my ass and I'll buy you anything you fucking want. Even trade." Deal making worked even if he lost money, as long as it got him what he wanted.

	Sloth looked a little thoughtful at the suggestion, then smirked. "Bury him alive. See how patient he is then." He sniggered, a malicious glint in his eye. "Come on man, I'm hungry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"How deep of a hole?" He snickered. At the push he rolled his eyes. "Fine, get moving then." He pressed him forward. The boy was entirely too slow at times. Greed was of the impatient sort. (Reply to this) (Parent)
