Description
Pandora sighed heavily, she had just got back from a mission set by her father, her body clad in all black, tights underneath a pair of fitted shorts, lines of sharp and dangerous looking things wrapped around her thighs between black bandages, her top half held a black fitted turtleneck shirt, which she had rolled up the sleeves, other various weponry clasped to her arms, her waist, her entire back was its own armoury too. Her strips of hair where placed back into a tight plat as black eyes looked down at the drink she was nursing.

Zolf walked down the stairs that led to the bar. He opened the door and looked around, his golden eyes finally gazing at Pandora's back. he sighed and walked over to her. He gazed warily at the weapons and then at her. "Hey," he said casually. He gave a small smirk as he looked at her drink. "You alright?" he asked as he touched her shoulder lightly.

Greed shook his head as he walked to the bar. His violet eyes showed days of unrest and his mind was blank. He was angry with the world and everyone in it. He shook his head again, trying to shake the feeling of anger. He yawned, his mouth closing with a sharp 'click'. He turned the corner to his bar and walked down the alleyway. His deep violet eyes, flicked to the sign above the bar and then at the steps that led down to the entrance of the bar. Greed yawned again as he walked down the steps, his hand resting upon the door handle. He thought about walking in for a second before turning and growling softly. He had forgotten his vest at home. He walked quickly up the steps before sprinting back to his house to grab his vest.

She looked over as she spotted Zolf walking over, giving a wide smile as she waved at him from her seat. "Hey Zolf- Ah dont worry about these, I was doing my father a favor." Pandora assured him in a gentle tone, still smiling as she offered him some of her drink. "The hardest part about doing my father's jobs, is usually there are more than one of them." Pandora continued, getting upward to her feet as she stretched her arms out above her head, bandages that lined around her stomach and forearms groaning a little with the movement, but she rest a hand on Zolf's shoulder with a grin.

He smiled and nodded. He took her hand and held it for a second before placing it on the bar counter. He kept his hand on top of her's and sighed. "So this," he said, indicating her weaponry, "is for your father?" he asked. His gold eyes flicked to the door when he heard footsteps, then he turned his gaze back to her.

The homunculus walked into his house and grabbed his vest. He walked out the door, locking it behind himself. He sprinted back to the Devil's Nest, stopping just before he walked down the steps. Greed walked down the steps and sighed, turning the door knob. He sighed and pushed on the door gently. His eyes flicked to Kimblee and Pandora. He walked in and shut the door softly. He looked at the weaponry on Pandora's body and then at Kimblee's hand on top of her's. His violet eyes flickered softly in the light of the bar.

Pandora giggled gently when she felt Zolf's hand on her own, blushing deeply while looking away, slowly pulling it out from underneath his own as she turned around to the sound of someone coming in through the door. "Greed, hey!" Pandora said brightly, giving him a small wave before her smile slowly started to fall, something within the air around her friend seemed different... "How are you?" She asked him, lightly wiping away a small sweat drop that started to fall down the side of her face.

Kimblee turned as well. He frowned as he looked at the slight dullness to the homunculus' eyes. His eyes flicked over the signs of tiredness coming from Greed and the slight feelings of anger also coming from Greed. Zolf glanced at Pandora then back at Greed. He flicked his eyes between the two and frowned.

Greed growled softly at Pandora. His anger was flaring and he closed his eyes immediately. He shook his head and held his hand to his head. "Tired and somewhat angry," he said as he opened his eyes to look at her. He smiled weakly before walking over to his couch and laying down, turning on his sides and staring blankly at the table.

She still held a worried look across her face, taking a glance over towrad Zolf before slowly moving toward the sofa. "Hey now...dont be angry...do you want a drink?" She questioned gently, moving a hand outward to try and rest on the top of his head with a small giggle. "At least you have a nice house to go back too hmm?" She added as a plus, black eyes unable to hide the worry that she felt for him.

Zolf watched them, worried about the bad mood Greed seemed to be in. He knew Greed well enough to leave the homunculus alone when he was in a mood like this. Kimblee kept his distance and watched, hoping nothing would happen.

Greed grabbed her wrist, anger still flooding his senses. He couldn't think straight as he unconsiously began twisting her arm. The pupils of his eyes slit and he glared at the table growling. His vision blurred into just blind rage. He didn't even know what was causing it. Greed closed his eyes again, trying to clear the hate and anger that was clouding his judgement. He twisted her arm harder, not meaning to, but he didn't feel in control of his body at the moment. He couldn't help it. A small part of his mind was telling him to stop before he hurt Pandora, but anger seemed to block out the small voice.

Pandora blinked, eyes turning wide as her pupils shrunk, shaking some as she looked down at his hand. Her eyebrows knitted together quickly, trying to wrench her hand free from his grasp she figured that he might have just been playing. "Come on Greed, let go....I dont want to play this game any more..." She said softly, trying harder to pull her hand from him till she realized he wasnt going to let go.

Kimblee flinched and moved towards Greed. He looked an Pandora's face and sighed. He looked back down a Greed and frowned. He had only seen the hounculus like this once before. Then, no one had dared to go near their boss, not even Kimblee himself. This was why. He knew Greed wasn't going to let go until it turned into a fight.

Greed shook his head and closed his eyes tightly, releasing her wrist and standing up. He glared at Zolf then back at Pandora. There was confusion and rage in his eyes. Sadness was buried deep within the confusion, but rage was the dominate emotion. He raised his sheild slightly above his wrists. Moving swiftly, he grabbed the front of Pandora's shirt. 'What the hell are you doing you bastard?!' was what that small bit of sanity was screaming at him. He closed his eyes and didn't look at Pandora as he lifted her into the air, higher than he normally would.

She saw the shield raising to his wrists, knowing that this attack was going to be oncoming, her body leapt backward when he swiped at her shirt. Pandora swallowed heavily, reaching an arm back to pull out two long and slightly curved blades from the holsters on her back, she really hoped she wouldn't have to use them. "Greed snap out of this or we'll end up hurting one another!" She shouted at him, frowning now, all trace of fear gone as she started to key into her training.

Kimblee watched, his eyes widening at the sight of the carbon sheild. He didn't dare interfere with this fight. All he could do is sit by and watch, on interfereing if it was necessarry.

Greed raised his shield higher at the sight of her blades. He laughed, insanity clear in the tone of his laugh. He had no hold on sanity right now."You think you can fight me?!" he asked, insanity dripping from his voice. He advanced on her, not hearing anything she said. He started attacking with a series of punches and kicks, common to the fighting style of all the homunculus.

She let out a small gasp before she held her breath, continuing to leap backward away from the oncoming flurry of attacks, she feverishly looked around for a way up, slamming her blades back into their holster's to leap onto a table, flicking around the spikes on her palms, using the table as leverage to jump at a corner of the wall, quickly using it to push herself up to the ceiling, spikes within her hands holding for grip into the wall as she wormed her way along to the roof's banisters, aiming to try and get across to the other side of the bar, or at least throw some needles at Greed's exposed flesh.

He let his shoulders drop at the sound of Greed's voice. No sanity was there even by Kimblee's standards. He shook his head as he moved to stand a safe-ish distance away from the two of them. He couldn't move his eyes off of them. Zolf knew if Greed raised his sheild fully, the fight would be over soon. He knew Greed's tactics and strategies. They were like a theif's and homunculus' abilities combined in one. He shook his head, still watching the fight.

Greed turned and looked uup at her, rasing his sheild fully, already plotting his moves. He had a large enough jump to probably kick her into the back of the bar counter. However, he wanted to have some fun with this fight for a while. He leapt onto the table, then leapt to the ground, making a grab for the back of her shirt and the holsters of her blades.

Pandora cursed when Greed's sheild pulled up fully, she sprinted along the beams as far as she could to try and get out of his grasp, though with the bar full of tables, she was sure that he could have caught up to her. Swallowing quickly, the martial artist removed handfuls of smoke bombs from her person, bringing the pins to her mouth she pulled at them, throwing them to the ground so that it would enable large plumes of white blinding smoke to fill the bottom of the bar aroung Greed, hoping to disorientate him long enough for her to get down.

Zolf held his shirt over his mouth as the smoke was released. He couldn't see nor could he watch anything. He had no clue where either of them were. Frankly, it made him nervous to watch this fight. He had seen it before between some drunk bastard and Greed. He smirked, remebering the end of the fight. He shook his head and brought himself back to the present.

Greed coughed, looking around. He tried using his nose but the smoke blocked any scent and then he tried his hearing. He laughed again, insanity taking over again as he moved blindly around in the smoke.

She hopped down from the banisters, able to sense through the smoke just where Greed was, thanks to his energies, or, chi as some people called them. Crouching down low she pulled herself underneath a table, taking out a small ball and chain device, throwing it through the smoke-aiming it right at his ankles, if it connected, it would wrap around them, aiming to either trip him over or at least delay him long enough for her to launch another attack.

Kimblee just stood by the doorway, still blind in the smoke.

Greed heard the chain and leapt backwards, landing behind Pandora and lashing out with his foot under the table. He couldn't see but he could still hear the chain.

She let out a tiny squeak as she felt Greed's energy getting close, scrambling out she slid across the bar to the counter, pressing herself against it she fumbled for a flashbang, hoping to kill his hearing for long enough so she could at least try to land something on him, wear him down at least. Pulling out her needles however, she shot them through the smoke with one hand at Greed' direction, the other still fiddling with her pockets to pull out the right item.

Zolf was still standing in the sidelines watching.

Greed felt the needles bounce off of his sheild. He glanced in her direction, hearing her movements. He smirked and walked towards her, attempting to again, grab her shirt and throw her against the back wall. He kept silent and made a silent reach with both hands towards her.

Pandora had been distracted with trying to find the right item to keep a feel out for Greed's energy, looking up only when it was too late. Letting out a small whimper when she felt his claws glide through the thin material of her shirt, letting out a hopless plea for him to stop before she was thrown. Crashing into the wall she slid down into a small crumpled pile on the floor, taking a short moment to adjust her barings, having hit her head rather hard, she shakily pulled her hands toward a blade at her opposing arm, struggling to try and lift herself up to her feet.

Kimblee, upon hearing the crash, ran to Pandora's side, having already memorized the bar area. He knelt beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Pandora! Are you alright?" he asked, concern showing. He glanced in the general direction of Greed and sighed. "You won. Happy?" he asked, contempt dripping from his voice. He looked back at Pandora and placed his hand on her's. "Look, the fight's over now." he said softly.

Greed heard the loud crash and stopped. He lowered his sheild and stood in front of the bar counter. He heard Kimblee's voice and nodded. He looked in the general directon of Pandora and shook his head. "Tch, pathetic..." was all he said before turning and walking to the doorway. He opened the door to clear out the smoke. He sighed and turned back to face her. "I don't want to fight you anymore." he said, before walking out the door, not looking back.

She glared at the back of Greed's head as he moved off, "Greed get back here...I'm...I'm not finished yet!" She roared angrily, staggering to her feet, her shirt tattered across her chest, exposing her bound chest underneath. Blood slowly crept down the side of her face, as she ignored Kimblee's words, treating her as if she was a regular woman. Pandora wasn't. "Get back here and tell me why you did that!" She continued, pulling needles from her holster to launch them at his back.

Kimblee stood and sighed. "He's not coming back." he said. Watching the needles fly towards Greed's back.

Greed ignored the needles as they bounced off his sheild. "YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I DID IT?! WELL WHY DON'T YOU ASK SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME!!! OKAY!!! GOT IT?!!!" he roared back. He continued walking until he was in the crowded streets of Dublith. "....I'm sorry Panda...." he muttered softly. He sighed and sat against a wall, sliding down it until he was sitting on the ground.

She glared back at Zolf, fire burning within her eyes as she had to close one eye to stop blood falling into it. "Zolf, what the hell's happened to Greed?" She hissed, turning around to glare at the golden eyed male. Staggering over to him to grasp the front of his jacket by the collar, "I just want to be included for once!" Pandora snapped in frustration, "Fuck this I'm going after him." She growled in stubbornness, pulling her way through the bar with a sligh limp, falling out onto the street as she glared around, trying to stop a random passerby if they saw Greed, describing him to them.

Zolf watched her leave and he decided to follow her. "He went insane. He hasn't slept in weeks. You could tell by his eyes. Besides, I know him and, hell, he'd never attack you on purpose. You should know that," he said as he caught up to her. "He should've snapped out of it after he ran off."

Greed continued to sit agianst the wall. He stared at his hands, his eyes begining to fill with sadness. He held his head in his hands as he relived the fight. He shut his eyes and shook his head. The homunculus stood and started walking the streets again. He had to find Pandora again and apologize, even if he got the shit beat out of him.

She glared back at Zolf, the stumbling fighter couldnt keep her vision very clear but pressed on anyway. "I know that Zolf, what I want to know, is WHY." She continued, frown still across her face as she used the wall to help her keep going. "Exscuse me....have you see.." Pandore struggled to keep her voice calm and eyes clear as she talked to an elderly man. "Have you seen a really tall man....big sharp teeth, and wearing a vest with fur around the collar?" She asked, though the man shook his head, scurrying off quickly.

Zolf shrugged and walked ahead of her and asked anyone who looked like a theif or criminal for information. He sighed and gave up after awhile, falling back into step with Pandora. He focused his gaze to tall males in the crowd and he looked around, searching the crowd. "You want to know why? Well.... I don't even think he knows. I have an idea of why he did it but it's not logical."

Greed made his way through the crowd, his vest slung over his shoulder. He bumped into several people as he kept his gaze down. He looked up as he walked past theives. He heard one draw a knife and he sighed. He was sick of fighting, but if he wanted to keep any part of his money, then he would have to fight them. He set his vest on the ground, raising his shield and attacking the first theif, not caring about the scene he made.

Perked her ears as she heard a woman screaming within the short distance, stumbling, she would have to wait for questions, now, if there was any thought that Greed could be ahead, she had to see. Running forward she pushed past a few people that started to run away from the small fight that was starting, looking on to see the glimpse of black shield and torso she coughed gently with the kicked up dust. "Gr-" She started, letting out a small 'urk' sound when she was grasped up from behind by one of the thieves' friend that had been watching ont the sidelines, grabbing around her throat as she blinked, fingers clinging at the rough arm that held her, other hand flailing out in Greeds direction, gasping to air as the male started rummaging through her weaponry, nimble fingers flitting over her various weapons.

Kimblee found himself being tackled to the ground by another theif. He sighed and clapped, placing his hands against the theif's chest. "...Amature..." he muttered as the theif exploded.

Greed turned at the sound of Pandora's voice. He stopped in mid punch and held the theif above his head. He threw the thief behind him, walking towards Pandora. He grabbed the other theif's arm and wrenched him off of Pandora. "Pandora........ Why did you come looking for me? but that's beside the point. The point I was trying to make was..... I'm sorry." he said as he heard another explosion. He looked at Pandora and helped her to stand. "I'm really sorry...." he said as he wiped the blood off her face.

Pandora was starting to loose consciousness before Greed had come to help her, desperately clinging at him, though it was hard when he was completely shielded, so she just tried to keep ahold of his arm. Tears filled her eyes as she looked up at his face, "Greed I don't care! I don't care..." She said hurriedly, smiling weakly as she looked up into his shielded face, trying to reach her hands up either side of it. "You should have told me you weren't sleeping, that you weren't feeling well.." She began, swallowing to try and clear her vision. "Greed...your shield face is really distracting..." She finished with a small smile, trying to make the situation lighter by poking fun at him.

Kimblee wiped blood off his jacket and sighed watching the two of them. He smiled and then looked at the other theif, raising his hands to clap again before laughing softly as the last theif ran off.

Greed lowered his sheild and held onto her. "I know I should've told you.... I just didn't...." he said softly as he lifted her into his arms. He smiled and closed his eyes, holding her close to his chest. "I'm really sorry for hurting you like this." he said as he began walking in the general direction of the Devil's Nest. "Shit.... you look like you're about to faint." he said softly, still walking, motioning to Kimblee to follow them.

Pandora laughed gently, motioning for him to carry her up in the air in his arms as blood slowly started to creep back down her face again. "Yeah...I really do...but its alright...Greed...Greed I'm sorry if I've been ignoring you..." Pandora whispered in a trembling voice, eyebrows knitted together as she started to look a litttle pale. "Please forgive me..." She whispered, voice faultering.

Zolf picked up Greed's vest and carried it as coutesy to Greed. He walked slightly ahead of Greed, so he could open the door to the Devil's Nest for Greed.

Greed moved her more into his arms. "I had already forgiven you...." he said as he continued walking. He walked down the stairs and walked into the bar. He nodded his thanks to Kimblee before setting Pandora down on his couch. He sat beside her and smiled down at her. "...you should't have pushed yourself this far..... especially after a fight against me." he said as he saw her getting paler. He wiped the blood away again and sighed.

Pandora smiled awkwardly, trying to keep her grasp to him as she seemed a little dazed, her head spinning as she almost felt drunk, in her own soft utopia envelope her, blood loss making her feel fuzzy. "I'm not an alchemist, I cant ever beat you." She infomed him, trying to stroke her fingers through his hair.

Zolf handed Greed his vest and then the alchemist went to the bar counter.

Greed smiled, petting her head gently. He sat on the floor beside the couch and thought for a second. "I know.... but still.... you shouldn't push yourself that much chasing after me.... I would've come back eventually..." he said.

Pandora shook her head a little, raising her hands up to his own as she gave a small giggle, hardly able to hold it back. "But I had too...I had no idea where you where going....I had to make sure you where alright..." She purred softly, lightly bringing her fingers down to her shirt, tattered, as he poked at the parts of her exposed flesh. "And you owe me a shirt..."

Kimblee listened but chose not to say anything.

His violet eyes flashed. "I'll always come back to you. You should know that." he said softly. He listened to the last part of her senetence and smirked. "I guess I do." he said, taking a hold of her hand, smiling gently.

Pandora continued to giggle very softly, still holding his hand tightly within her own grasp, pale face slowly starting to hold dark circles around her eyes. "I like this shirt too..." She purred very softly, closing her eyes to pull his hand up toward the side of her face to nuzzle into the palm. "I'm glad your back to normal now Greed-kun.." She whispered distantly.

Kimblee smirked and looked at the ceiling.

Greed smiled and stroked her face gently. "I know." he said and he took her hand in his other hand. He stood and sat in the space between her and the edge of the couch. He gently lifted her into his arms as he lay on the couch as well, not wanting to leave her at the moment. He kept his arms around her protectively and held her gently.

She let out a small excited sound as she was pulled up into his lap, "Wait...wasn't Mr. Crimson here too?" She asked, whispering it up to Greed as if it was some big secret, gently reaching out to hold a hand to his shoulder, fingertips lightly tapping against his neck as she smiled, lowering her hand again to nuzzle the back of her throbbing head to Greed, "I wish I was a homunculush like you....I want to live forever with you....it would be so fun..." She whispered, her words hardly audible.

Zolf glanced over at them both, sighing softly.

Greed smirked, nodding. "Yeah, Zolf's still here." he said. He nodded to her comment. "Yeah, it would be fun. Forever? Really?" he said.

Kimblee just stood by the doorway, still blind in the smoke.

Greed heard the chain and leapt backwards, landing behind Pandora and lashing out with his foot under the table. He couldn't see but he could still hear the chain.

She let out a tiny squeak as she felt Greed's energy getting close, scrambling out she slid across the bar to the counter, pressing herself against it she fumbled for a flashbang, hoping to kill his hearing for long enough so she could at least try to land something on him, wear him down at least. Pulling out her needles however, she shot them through the smoke with one hand at Greed' direction, the other still fiddling with her pockets to pull out the right item.

Zolf was still standing in the sidelines watching.

Greed felt the needles bounce off of his sheild. He glanced in her direction, hearing her movements. He smirked and walked towards her, attempting to again, grab her shirt and throw her against the back wall. He kept silent and made a silent reach with both hands towards her.

Pandora had been distracted with trying to find the right item to keep a feel out for Greed's energy, looking up only when it was too late. Letting out a small whimper when she felt his claws glide through the thin material of her shirt, letting out a hopless plea for him to stop before she was thrown. Crashing into the wall she slid down into a small crumpled pile on the floor, taking a short moment to adjust her barings, having hit her head rather hard, she shakily pulled her hands toward a blade at her opposing arm, struggling to try and lift herself up to her feet.

Kimblee, upon hearing the crash, ran to Pandora's side, having already memorized the bar area. He knelt beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Pandora! Are you alright?" he asked, concern showing. He glanced in the general direction of Greed and sighed. "You won. Happy?" he asked, contempt dripping from his voice. He looked back at Pandora and placed his hand on her's. "Look, the fight's over now." he said softly.

Greed heard the loud crash and stopped. He lowered his sheild and stood in front of the bar counter. He heard Kimblee's voice and nodded. He looked in the general directon of Pandora and shook his head. "Tch, pathetic..." was all he said before turning and walking to the doorway. He opened the door to clear out the smoke. He sighed and turned back to face her. "I don't want to fight you anymore." he said, before walking out the door, not looking back.

She glared at the back of Greed's head as he moved off, "Greed get back here...I'm...I'm not finished yet!" She roared angrily, staggering to her feet, her shirt tattered across her chest, exposing her bound chest underneath. Blood slowly crept down the side of her face, as she ignored Kimblee's words, treating her as if she was a regular woman. Pandora wasn't. "Get back here and tell me why you did that!" She continued, pulling needles from her holster to launch them at his back.

Kimblee stood and sighed. "He's not coming back." he said. Watching the needles fly towards Greed's back.

Greed ignored the needles as they bounced off his sheild. "YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I DID IT?! WELL WHY DON'T YOU ASK SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME!!! OKAY!!! GOT IT?!!!" he roared back. He continued walking until he was in the crowded streets of Dublith. "....I'm sorry Panda...." he muttered softly. He sighed and sat against a wall, sliding down it until he was sitting on the ground.

She glared back at Zolf, fire burning within her eyes as she had to close one eye to stop blood falling into it. "Zolf, what the hell's happened to Greed?" She hissed, turning around to glare at the golden eyed male. Staggering over to him to grasp the front of his jacket by the collar, "I just want to be included for once!" Pandora snapped in frustration, "Fuck this I'm going after him." She growled in stubbornness, pulling her way through the bar with a sligh limp, falling out onto the street as she glared around, trying to stop a random passerby if they saw Greed, describing him to them.

Zolf watched her leave and he decided to follow her. "He went insane. He hasn't slept in weeks. You could tell by his eyes. Besides, I know him and, hell, he'd never attack you on purpose. You should know that," he said as he caught up to her. "He should've snapped out of it after he ran off."

Greed continued to sit agianst the wall. He stared at his hands, his eyes begining to fill with sadness. He held his head in his hands as he relived the fight. He shut his eyes and shook his head. The homunculus stood and started walking the streets again. He had to find Pandora again and apologize, even if he got the shit beat out of him.

She glared back at Zolf, the stumbling fighter couldnt keep her vision very clear but pressed on anyway. "I know that Zolf, what I want to know, is WHY." She continued, frown still across her face as she used the wall to help her keep going. "Exscuse me....have you see.." Pandore struggled to keep her voice calm and eyes clear as she talked to an elderly man. "Have you seen a really tall man....big sharp teeth, and wearing a vest with fur around the collar?" She asked, though the man shook his head, scurrying off quickly.

Zolf shrugged and walked ahead of her and asked anyone who looked like a theif or criminal for information. He sighed and gave up after awhile, falling back into step with Pandora. He focused his gaze to tall males in the crowd and he looked around, searching the crowd. "You want to know why? Well.... I don't even think he knows. I have an idea of why he did it but it's not logical."

Greed made his way through the crowd, his vest slung over his shoulder. He bumped into several people as he kept his gaze down. He looked up as he walked past theives. He heard one draw a knife and he sighed. He was sick of fighting, but if he wanted to keep any part of his money, then he would have to fight them. He set his vest on the ground, raising his shield and attacking the first theif, not caring about the scene he made.

Perked her ears as she heard a woman screaming within the short distance, stumbling, she would have to wait for questions, now, if there was any thought that Greed could be ahead, she had to see. Running forward she pushed past a few people that started to run away from the small fight that was starting, looking on to see the glimpse of black shield and torso she coughed gently with the kicked up dust. "Gr-" She started, letting out a small 'urk' sound when she was grasped up from behind by one of the thieves' friend that had been watching ont the sidelines, grabbing around her throat as she blinked, fingers clinging at the rough arm that held her, other hand flailing out in Greeds direction, gasping to air as the male started rummaging through her weaponry, nimble fingers flitting over her various weapons.

Kimblee found himself being tackled to the ground by another theif. He sighed and clapped, placing his hands against the theif's chest. "...Amature..." he muttered as the theif exploded.

Greed turned at the sound of Pandora's voice. He stopped in mid punch and held the theif above his head. He threw the thief behind him, walking towards Pandora. He grabbed the other theif's arm and wrenched him off of Pandora. "Pandora........ Why did you come looking for me? but that's beside the point. The point I was trying to make was..... I'm sorry." he said as he heard another explosion. He looked at Pandora and helped her to stand. "I'm really sorry...." he said as he wiped the blood off her face.

Pandora was starting to loose consciousness before Greed had come to help her, desperately clinging at him, though it was hard when he was completely shielded, so she just tried to keep ahold of his arm. Tears filled her eyes as she looked up at his face, "Greed I don't care! I don't care..." She said hurriedly, smiling weakly as she looked up into his shielded face, trying to reach her hands up either side of it. "You should have told me you weren't sleeping, that you weren't feeling well.." She began, swallowing to try and clear her vision. "Greed...your shield face is really distracting..." She finished with a small smile, trying to make the situation lighter by poking fun at him.

Kimblee wiped blood off his jacket and sighed watching the two of them. He smiled and then looked at the other theif, raising his hands to clap again before laughing softly as the last theif ran off.

Greed lowered his sheild and held onto her. "I know I should've told you.... I just didn't...." he said softly as he lifted her into his arms. He smiled and closed his eyes, holding her close to his chest. "I'm really sorry for hurting you like this." he said as he began walking in the general direction of the Devil's Nest. "Shit.... you look like you're about to faint." he said softly, still walking, motioning to Kimblee to follow them.

Pandora laughed gently, motioning for him to carry her up in the air in his arms as blood slowly started to creep back down her face again. "Yeah...I really do...but its alright...Greed...Greed I'm sorry if I've been ignoring you..." Pandora whispered in a trembling voice, eyebrows knitted together as she started to look a litttle pale. "Please forgive me..." She whispered, voice faultering.

Zolf picked up Greed's vest and carried it as coutesy to Greed. He walked slightly ahead of Greed, so he could open the door to the Devil's Nest for Greed.

Greed moved her more into his arms. "I had already forgiven you...." he said as he continued walking. He walked down the stairs and walked into the bar. He nodded his thanks to Kimblee before setting Pandora down on his couch. He sat beside her and smiled down at her. "...you should't have pushed yourself this far..... especially after a fight against me." he said as he saw her getting paler. He wiped the blood away again and sighed.

Pandora smiled awkwardly, trying to keep her grasp to him as she seemed a little dazed, her head spinning as she almost felt drunk, in her own soft utopia envelope her, blood loss making her feel fuzzy. "I'm not an alchemist, I cant ever beat you." She infomed him, trying to stroke her fingers through his hair.

Zolf handed Greed his vest and then the alchemist went to the bar counter.

Greed smiled, petting her head gently. He sat on the floor beside the couch and thought for a second. "I know.... but still.... you shouldn't push yourself that much chasing after me.... I would've come back eventually..." he said.

Pandora shook her head a little, raising her hands up to his own as she gave a small giggle, hardly able to hold it back. "But I had too...I had no idea where you where going....I had to make sure you where alright..." She purred softly, lightly bringing her fingers down to her shirt, tattered, as he poked at the parts of her exposed flesh. "And you owe me a shirt..."

Kimblee listened but chose not to say anything.

His violet eyes flashed. "I'll always come back to you. You should know that." he said softly. He listened to the last part of her senetence and smirked. "I guess I do." he said, taking a hold of her hand, smiling gently.

Pandora continued to giggle very softly, still holding his hand tightly within her own grasp, pale face slowly starting to hold dark circles around her eyes. "I like this shirt too..." She purred very softly, closing her eyes to pull his hand up toward the side of her face to nuzzle into the palm. "I'm glad your back to normal now Greed-kun.." She whispered distantly.

Kimblee smirked and looked at the ceiling.

Greed smiled and stroked her face gently. "I know." he said and he took her hand in his other hand. He stood and sat in the space between her and the edge of the couch. He gently lifted her into his arms as he lay on the couch as well, not wanting to leave her at the moment. He kept his arms around her protectively and held her gently.

She let out a small excited sound as she was pulled up into his lap, "Wait...wasn't Mr. Crimson here too?" She asked, whispering it up to Greed as if it was some big secret, gently reaching out to hold a hand to his shoulder, fingertips lightly tapping against his neck as she smiled, lowering her hand again to nuzzle the back of her throbbing head to Greed, "I wish I was a homunculush like you....I want to live forever with you....it would be so fun..." She whispered, her words hardly audible.

Zolf glanced over at them both, sighing softly.

Greed smirked, nodding. "Yeah, Zolf's still here." he said. He nodded to her comment. "Yeah, it would be fun. Forever? Really?" he said.
