yeah

it's a really, REALLY long story. I mean I could try explaining some of it, if you want.

I don't know how much sense it'd make, but I could try.

[Now that he's had time to CALM THE FUCK DOWN.]

and we really aren't planning on killing each other

good because after making an idiot of myself two years ago i'd rather spare my friends the shame of doing the same thing i did

but go ahead and explain i'm curious

You remember back in december I told you I had a master? I wasn't her only servant, she'd go around collecting any newly born homunculi she could find because we were really useful things to have around.

Greed's the guy I was arguing with, and about 130 years ago a lot of shit happened and he wanted out of the group.

He told me he was leaving before he did, and I didn't realize he wanted me to come. I thought he was just telling me to screw me over. And even if I had realized I wouldn't have wanted to go. So I told our master that he was planning to leave, and she locked him up underground.

_{[There's a bit of a pause before Heather says anything.]}

... so you stayed loyal to her

why?

[There's an even longer pause before she gets a response.]

because I needed to if I ever wanted to reach my own goals

and...shit, it's really complicated. I wouldn't go back to her NOW, but then...

[She had him believing that she was all he had and all he could ever have. He didn't trust Greed as much as he should have because even if they were close, how could they be friends? Homunculi weren't capable of having friends.]

then what were your goals

like they must have been pretty fucking huge if you were that devoted to her

plus you could have just pretended not to know anything about it i mean

so the guy was gonna leave so what

did you have to rat him out

_{[She can understand feeling like you have obligations to people like that. Really. She's BEEN there. But sabotaging someone else's attempt to escape... she can't see herself doing that. Even at Alessa's blindest, she wouldn't have begrudged someone else their bid for freedom from Dahlia's sharp nails and silver tongue.]}

my goal was revenge, to kill the bastard who created me. he was good at disappearing, and I thought she was my only chance of finding him. or living long enough to find him.

...and she would have found out. I'm good at lying, but she knows me.

[After a minute, he sends an additional message.]

that wasn't even the real reason. I just didn't want him to leave.

_{[There's a long pause.]}

would you do the same thing now if it happened again?

no

I wouldn't

good

i know what it's like to want revenge

even to want it REALLY BADLY

but if you have to throw even one person under the bus to get it



it's not worth it

[Envy would throw a hundred strangers under the bus if it would let him get his revenge. But his friends? Now that he knows what friendship is, and now that vengeance isn't the all-consuming driving force in his life?]

[When it comes down to it, he's not sure what he'd do. But he'd like to think that they'd be safe from oncoming busses. That he could manage to get revenge without that.]

[He also can't help feeling a stab of annoyance at the advice, but it's not nearly as bad as it could have been if he hadn't already text shouted all his emotions at Greed earlier and wasn't still feeling embarrassed and confused and guilty over that.]

it's a little late for that for me.

but it WOULD be worth all the bowing and scraping and following orders I did, if I could find him.

_{[... Well, one thing Heather WOULD make the case for is throwing someone under the bus if they actually deserved it. But random innocents? No. She could never do that.]}

i guess it's up to you what your limits are

but in my opinion nothing is worth being a slave to someone like that

the only person i would ever want revenge on is the person who put me through that

they would be the one i would want to kill

_{[Man Heather has some strong feelings about this.]}

it's not that simple

[Yeah he can tell that she can. He does too, he just refuses to acknowledge them. Because if he did, if he put them into words, that would mean confronting everything that happened and he's not strong enough. If she could see or hear him she'd see just how worked up over this he's getting.]

are you saying it was simple for ME?

_{[That's a little unfair. She also could have said 'It never is'. That would be true, too. But. :I]}

no I'm not saying that

she's not even here, why does it matter anymore if I could kill her or not?

i guess it doesn't



yet

_{[As someone who saw a fair share of old enemies surface in Johto, Heather knows...]}

if she came here...

I don't know. but I wouldn't go back to her, if that's what you're worried about.

[Not willingly, anyway. He doesn't want her here, not in this place where he's managed to be happy. Even if he found it in him to kill her, she wouldn't stay dead, and she was good at what she did. If she...]

if she ever does, stay away from her.

what would she do if i didn't?

_{[She means that in the least rebellious sense possible, if he can believe that.]}

[Thankfully, if Dante came here she wouldn't be able to even attempt what she normally did with young women; alchemic body-snatching would be impossible. And Envy's not sure that Heather would be her type, anyway.]

she'd try to manipulate you if she thought you could be useful, try to get you on her side. or she'd try to hurt you. especially if she thought it would get to me.

I don't want her to hurt anyone else I care about, and I don't want my shitty world coming here to hurt you.

_{[Not to mention she might be in for an unpleasant surprise if she tried to snatch the body of someone whose body had essentially been snatched since birth.]}

hm

i'm not saying i'd go after her if she came

but i am gonna say that she sounds like someone i could probably handle



i don't want anyone from your shitty world coming here to hurt YOU

[The sun is close to setting over Olivine...which means that Free Ice Cream Day is not quite over yet.]

hey heather are you busy right now?

because the ice cream place down the street from the inn is still open

shit really???

i already had tons of ice cream today but i dont care

wanna meet up

yeah really

and no I just told you for no reason. yes I wanna meet up.

but I'm already here so you should hurry before I eat all the good flavors.

dude

if you eat all the mango sorbet before i get there i'm gonna kick your ass

_{[BUT SHE'S ON HER WAY.]}

[When she gets there, Envy will be waiting outside, sitting in one of the little cafe chairs outside the shop.]

[He's not holding any ice cream, so clearly he hasn't gone in yet.]

[Either that or he really did eat all the ice cream.]
