It was an odd moment because there really was nothing to say, he was giving her exactly what she needed already. She stayed in his arms, her hand curling into his shirt as a thought worried her, "I'm sorry I got you involved.. Poseidon doesn't know who you are, does he? He won't.. come after you or anything, will he?" she wouldn't forgive herself if something happened to Greed because of her 'family.
------
"The Greeks throw temper tantrums. I'm not worried about Poseidon. You shouldn't either." Gods like that sniffed out fear. He let her cling to him because it felt kind of nice even in the bath of tiger balm. She needed him right now and he clung to it.
------
Zoe closed her eyes, "You're never worried about anything. He is a powerful guy and I'm pretty sure he can still do some damage. So if you see him, just go the other way, okay?" if it was possible she held on to him tighter, "I can't lose you.' it wasn't a matter of not wanting to lose him. Want was such a given with Greed, it was obvious. But can't? She had to finally admit it to herself even that her life had changed significantly with him in it and it could never go back to how it was. She liked having him in her life.
But... the way he was in her life, that had to change. It was too painful otherwise. She started to fidget in his arms, "I have to tell you something.."
------
"He could. Just outer damage. He kills me I'll bounce. I told you that. He crosses a line though it'll be a Greek on Christian war. Would he really want that?"
His chin balanced on her shoulder. "Hmmm?" He still held on.
------
Zoe made a face, "Death still hurts. No killing. No outer damage. Just stay away from him if you see him." she sighed as he held her.. as much as she wanted to stay like this, the picture of him and Lust was in her head. And it was a good thing, she was glad for it. "I... have a date next week. And I'm only telling you because I don't want you to see us and stab him."
------
Greed didn't move a muscle, he stayed completely still but his mental state went bonkers. "A date?" His voice was on the defensive because ex or not, girlfriend was still in the equation.
Date, that was such a foreign concept. She was a foreign concept. He pulled himself from that comfortable spot. Was this her torturing him? "Is this for me kidnapping you?" Because really she could have tried something else.
------
Zoe gave him a look, grabbing her shirt and draping it across her front, "You didn't kidnap me, you hired a guy to assault me and kinda forced me.. yeah okay. No, this isn't for that. This is for me." leave it to Greed to make it about himself. She watched him carefully, not knowing really what he was going to do. She knew he still considered her as 'his' despite being not together (though they really didn't act like it).
------
"A hit to the gut, slap to the face or something would be sufficient. Really." He nodded his head back and forth, leaning his cheek out with a slight tap. "Take your best shot." Because now she was just plain putting herself out there to be stolen from under his nose. This had to be punishment.
