WHO: Zoe & Wrath
WHEN: October 10
WHERE: Zoe and Morgan's apartment
WHAT: Girl talk
WARNING: None



Zoe had started baking cookies the second she sent her reply to Wrath. Baking soothed her. And luckily her roommate was visiting her parents this weekend so no explanations were necessary to her. Zoe was surprised Greed's sister had picked her to talk to but the two were friends.. Zoe would like to think so at least. Even tho she knew Wrath was close to Lust.. and Lust was supposedly gonna try to MAYBE murder her. And then there was the whole Wrath had a child and Greed and Zoe wanted children and couldn't have them. But.. she was planning on keeping that to herself. This was gonna be about Wrath. She couldn't imagine what the Sinwoman was going through. Walking around and BOOM grown up child in your life. Zoe's head was spinning just thinking bout it and it made her even more sympathetic to Wrath.

Wrath wasn't entirely sure about opening up to Zoe, but she needed to talk to someone. Being who she was didn't exactly leave a lot of options there especially if you took away her siblings and George. There was no way she was talking to them about this.

So she knocked on Zoe's door and when she was admitted, Wrath lifted her lips minutely in what was supposed to be a smile. It was not successful. "Uhm. So yeah, I guess th- thanks," she said, very slowly because it was an unnatural word for her. "Cookies smell nice."

"Hey!" she said and shut the door behind her. "Thanks, sit down. I'll get them." she left Wrath for just a minute, a little nervous and taking a moment to herself. She came back with a tray of cookies and two cups of tea. "So.. how you doing?" she asked with a tone that suggested she was not making causal conversation, she was actually asking.

Wrath sat while Zoe was fetching the cookies, and when she returned, Wrath helped herself to one. "Shit," Wrath revealed, truthfully. "But not because of October. She's fine. Yesterday she made me bacon. Oh. Do you know about October?" Wrath figured Greed would have told her, but she had to make sure.

Zoe nodded, "Your daughter. Yeah.. I mean, I know she's your kid and that she's an adult and she's in your life now." it was overwhelming almost, "So why're you shitty?"

Wrath put the cookie down again, her hands falling to her lap. She played with the hem of her skirt for a moment before looking up to Zoe. "She- Every time I look at her I think about- Fuck." God being vulnerable was hard. "What the fuck ever, she just reminds me of her father."

Zoe furrowed her brow, Greed hadn't mentioned the father. As far as she remembered it was someone random supposedly but the way Wrath was talking it sounded like this was definitely not just 'some guy'. "Well.. that's natural." she didn't push about the father's identity but said, "Is her father someone you don't like?"

Wrath ran her hands over her face and then slowly shook her head. "Opposite," she whispered, barely audible. She had lied when she told Greed he'd been a random, because she hadn't wanted him to know.

"Ah.." was all she said, starting to understand that Wrath maybe hadn't told anyone the real story behind her daughter yet. "Well.. if you want to tell me about it, I'm right here. As much or as little as you want." she was one of the few people on earth that knew what it was like when you combined a Sin with love.

Wrath chewed on her lip while she eyed Zoe appraisingly. Eventually she said, "I met him at a hospital. In Seattle. I was in there for trying to kill myself. You know. I mean, whatever. And he had so much of me in him and we were just drawn to each other."

Zoe was patient, she sipped her tea and took a bite of cookie as she waited and Wrath eventually started talking. She nodded, wanting the woman to go on.

"He got out before me, he just had anxiety and he had been having panic attacks, but he was fine eventually I guess. So he went back to his job or whatever. And when I got out he actually called me. Like. He wanted to be with me. It was so weird, but I guess I liked the attention so I said yes."

Wrath started wringing her hands in her skirt as she continued to speak. "And then I guess I started to like him and I can't tell my siblings because they will make fun of me!"

She was, at that moment, forgetting she was sitting in the apartment of Greed's human girlfriend, and that he might understand more than she was giving him credit for.

Zoe raised her brows, "Well I dunno about your other siblings but your brother is my boyfriend and he always likes to deny he doesn't like cuddly squishy human feelings but between you and me, he's totally into it." but she was smiling cause she clearly adored him. "And he might make fun of you cause he's an ass, but you can make fun of him right back cause he's with me so." she gave a shrug of her shoulders. "Plus.. you're in a relationship with Saint George.. you like him, don't you?" and she was sure that relationship wasn't a secret.

Well that was a good point. "Yeah, but George isn't a human. Kind of forgot you are," she said, giving Zoe a self-depricating smile. "Look, I liked this guy because he spoke Spanish and he understood me and we talked a lot and he made me feel real. Like I mattered. I kind of moved in with him I guess, and I didn't really realise the effect I was having on him."

Zoe smiled a little, "Just cause you and Saint George are Sins and Saints, it doesn't mean you aren't allowed emotions, those aren't human exclusive things."

She didn't know what spanish had to do with it but foreign languages were hot so she went with it. She kinda could guess where the story was going but let Wrath get it out in her own time and way.

"He hid how he was feeling from me. I lived with him for months and in the end he jumped off a fucking building because he couldn't handle being around me," she whispered, wrapping her arms around herself. "And he wrote me this letter and he said he loved me and that's what loving me leads to. I mean, he didn't fucking say that part, I figured it out."

Zoe reached a hand out to put on Wrath's arm but thought better of it and put it on the sofa next to her. "It sounds like he was dealing with personal demons before he even met you.. and if he didn't SAY that loving you leads to tragedy then you can't assume it."

The tea was going cold, and Wrath took the cup, staring into it to see the little ripply reflection of her face. God she hated herself. "It's what always happens though. My neighbours slit their wrists and my coworkers throw themselves under buses or go hme to beat the shit out of their girlfriends or boyfriends and it's my fault. I did it to him too and I actually liked him! And then months later I find out I'm having his kid and I didn't know what the fuck to do."

It was Zoe's instinct to tell Wrath it wasn't her fault but she wasn't so sure. So instead, she shuffled a bit closer and said, "You know Greed always tells me that a Sin's nature is to destroy. But.. I think a Sin can create. There is good and bad, it's how we have balance. It's really sad that he died.. but you and him created a life. You carried that life and gave birth to it. October is a beautiful gift to the world, and you did that. No blood, beatings, or death. But life."

No one except George had really said things like that to her before, and she kind of felt like George had to. There was no reason Zoe had to say things like that. Nice things that made sense if she could just get past that dark part of her mind.

"I guess I did," she murmured. She took a sip of lukewarm tea and then nodded. "I did make life and I gave her up and good people raised her so she didn't end up all fucked up like she would have with me."

"You did an amazing thing by letting her find her way in life and now she's come back to you because of it. That's something great." she paused and debated whether to share this and decided why not, "My Dad.. he never knew my mom was pregnant with me, he didn't find out till recently. And my mom loved him so much.. but every time she'd look at me, she'd just seem really sad. And I think it's cause I reminded her so much of him and how he wasn't around anymore. But sometimes.. I'd do something and she'd just be amazed. And she'd tell me I was just like him. And it's like for a moment.. she'd have him back with her." she swirled her cookie in her cup of tea until it just dissolved.

Zoe sharing a bit of herself was something Wrath wasn't used to either. People didn't really tell her things. Mostly, they ran away. It made her feel overwhelmed and touched at the same time.

"Er- I mean, was that good? I mean when she was like that?"

Zoe thought about it and then nodded, "I like to think so yeah. Loss is so permanent even if it isn't a death, it can feel like one. And here she had a way getting back her lost love. It's not the same. But like you said, when you look at October.. you see him. And it hurts I imagine. But at the same time.. she's living proof that he loved you. And I bet if you look in her eyes, you'll see a piece of him looking back out at you."

She chuckled, "I have my moments.." and she let the woman absorb what she'd said. Zoe didn't think it was anything brilliant, she was being honest but sometimes it made a difference to hear something outloud.

"Well it was fucking good. I don't feel like I literally ate a ton of shit and it was waking up inside me any more. Okay so...I guess I can just be glad something came out of my time with him. Or something cheerful and rainbowy and fucking potpurri like that."

Zoe smiled, "Yeah.. you created something. You have a daughter who is a reminder of how much that guy loved you, of what you shared with him. That's something to be celebrated. That even tho what happened to him was tragic.. the story didn't end." she put her hand out again, touching the spot next to Wrath and leaned in and said as if it was a secret, "You did good and that's not bad." since all the Sins seemed to recoil from anything that wasn't nasty on some level but only because it seemed like they felt they had to.

Wrath glanced over at Zoe and then she actually laughed. "Yeah, well. I have God in me, unlike the other Sins. I don't think doing good is all that bad sometimes. I mean, on occasion. Very occasionally."

[info]history_repeats

Zoe smiled, "Your brother doesn't think doing good is all that bad sometimes either. But.. don't tell him I told you that. He also believes in it occasionally. Very. Occasionally. he doesn't have god in him but isn't there something in that book about god being love? So maybe that's it." but Greed wouldn't be with her if he wasn't capable of it. Tho he destroyed their relationship constantly, he also knew how to rebuild it.

"I won't tell him," Wrath nodded, "but you can;t tell him any of this shit either. I might tell him myself sometime." And she probably would too, since she figured he was the most likely of their siblings to understand. "I don't know much about God being love, I just know about the righteous anger shit. But whatever."

She shook her head, "I swear I won't tell him anything beyond I talked to you. So.. be prepared for him to whine to you about it." she smiled, "Ya know, I get the feeling you know more about it then you think."

Wrath snorted and nodded. "Yeah, he'll do that. And okay. Well, I don't know. But thanks for thinking so."

"Hey I have it on good authority that I'm fucking smart so.." she grinned since Wrath had called her that not too long ago. And while she had the Sin here, she bit her lip and had a thought, "Hey.. can I ask you for some advice?"

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]acrimonia
2015-10-11 05:55 am UTC (link)
That made Wrath laugh again, and she really understood what Greed saw in Zoe. "Smart and quick. Yeah okay, you can ask."

She liked seeing Wrath laugh, it was like watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly. A rare but warming sight. "Well.. Greed let it slip to Lust he has a girlfriend and she wants to meet me. He wanted to hire an escort to pretend but I figure I've been with him for a couple of years and she was bound to find out eventually so might as well face the music. Do you have any advice on... meeting her?" she wasn't asking for help, she wasn't asking for Wrath to put in a good word or do anything that might even hint at taking sides. She was asking Wrath as a friend on how to approach her very.. excitable sister.

Wrath raised her eyebrows at that, and she wasn't entirely sure how to answer. Wrath loved Lust a great deal, but she wasn't really one for being reasonable. "Just uhm...I guess compliment her a lot? I don't know, she can be- Well you know. Possessive."

Zoe squeezed her shoulder where it met her neck, she'd been feeling very tense about her impending meeting. "Yeaaaah. Greed's convinced she's gonna rip me to shreds no matter what. He's trying to get me to act a bit more tough." and she swung her fist to the side in front of her but it was more like a cat batting awkwardly at a dustball. "I mean not that I'd ever get physical with her or anything just.. you know, I can't smile. And have to be aggressive. And no hand holding. Nothing that's.." she didn't know how to end that, he basically gave her a long list that amounted to 'don't be you'.

"I can be there too if you want?" Wrath suggested. "I don't think she'll rip you to shreds if she knows how much you mean to Greed. I mean, maybe? That's not reassuring, fuck. Uhm. Yeah just be careful I guess because she thinks of Greed as hers I think."

Zoe was honestly touched at Wrath's offer and smiled a little, "That's really.." she didn't want to say nice or sweet or kind so switched tracks and said, "I really appreciate the offer but I know your sister means a lot to you." the Sin family was weird as hell but she'd seen enough and heard enough from Greed to know family came first.. only he was now making Zoe his family too. "I don't want me being Greed's girlfriend to cause problems between you two." it would put Wrath in a very awkward place because the excess Sins were very very volatile and Lust and Greed would most likely want Wrath to pick a side. And then there was the other thing Zoe was thinking... what if Wrath picked Lust's side. If Wrath was left out of the whole mess, then maybe, if Zoe survived, they could still be friends.

"Well she kind of already hates the fact that I am with George, but she hasn't stopped talking to me for it, so that's good," Wrath muttered, kind of to herself. She looked up at Zoe and shrugged, "but it's fine, like I mean I'm sure Greed has it handled. I mean you can tell me about it after maybe?"

She smiled tho inside she was nervous as hell, "Well see, that's hope." no, not really but she'd pretend. She nodded, "Oh he's.. handling it." she thought of the disguise he got for her and just hoped she survived. "I will definitely let you know how it goes and I will keep in mind compliments and being careful. And I guess if all else fails, run." she joked. Sort of.

Wrath bit her lip, but she nodded. "Yeah. Yes. Running is good. Do you know where my place is, you could always run there? Lust doesn't really like coming over because it's shitty and like...Sloth is there so it's a bit grim. Or I could give you George's address." She knew Zoe and George had had an altercation, but she also knew George would protect anyone if he could. "He'd protect you."

She shook her head, "I don't want her to think you're harboring me. I love Greed, I'll do this and hope she doesn't want a fight." She stiffened at the mention of Saint George and looked at her cold cup of tea and said, "No, no it's okay.. Greed will protect me." she didn't have any ill will towards Wrath's boyfriend but the man had been very hurtful when she met him and it had been devastating at the time when he was the only other person in the world that knew what it was like to be with a Sin and he, like everyone else, disapproved of her and Greed.

"Okay," Wrath accepted that. "Just...I guess I kind of like you so I hope it all goes fine." Wrath turned bright red and wouldn't look at Zoe.

Zoe beamed and nudged the cookies closer to Wrath, "Thank you, I like you too. A lot." the sin was so not what people would imagine, just like Greed in that sense. She was really glad Greed had Wrath as a sister.
