Dorochet walked in and sat beside Greed, holding Greed's hand as he sat down. He gave Greed's hand reassuring squeeze and the homunculus smiled. He sat up and clung to Dorochet, crying softly. Dorochet rubbed his boss's back and whispered words of comfort to him. Greed untangled himself from Dorochet's hold and stood, walking to his door.
"I'm going out for awhile.... I'll be back later..... Open the bar soon... Later!" Greed said as he left. Dorochet sighed and exited the room. He turned on the neon sign outside and waited for cutomers to appear. He fell asleep on the counter in the bar and Loa walked in, shaking his shoulder. Loa raised his hammer when Dorochet swiped his sword at him. Dorochet came to his senses and resheathed his sword.
"I'm sorry Loa.... just don't wake me when I'm sleeping with my sword...." the chimera said. Loa just nodded and sat down. Dorochet sat beside Loa and patted his shoulder. Loa flinched slightly before relaxing again.
"Where did Greed go? I'm still worried about him..... He could still comitt suicide..... but he's smart enough not to do that right Loa?" Dorochet asked quietly. Loa nodded and hummed. Dorochet looked up as Greed walked in. He fell to the ground and a man removed the sword from Greed's throat. Dorochet drew his swords and Loa raised his hammer. Greed looked up and stood, running to the two. He stood in front of the door, trying to protect them. He yelled orders at the two. Dorochet and Loa nodded and ran to the back room. Greed followed soon after and Loa knocked down the wall. The three ran and Wrath sighed, not bothering to chase them. He looked at the girl that was standing beside him.
"Thank you Marta.... keep me udated on their location.... I'll tell Pride to follow them in the shadows...." Wrath said as he sheathed his sword. He replaced the eyepatch on his eye and strode off. Marta nodded and followed the others. She drew her knife just in case she was discovered and needed defense.
When Dorochet woke he immediatly sensed something was wrong. He walked over to Greed and noticed the man wasn't breathing. He shook Greed's body and there was no response. He saw a discarded scotch bottle and frowned when he saw the item next to the bottle. He woke Loa and the other chimera mumbled something and Dorochet poked him with one of his swords. Loa woke with a start and looked at the panic in the other's eyes. He sat up and looked at Greed's unmoving body. Dorochet held up the needle and Loa bit his lip.
"Is... is he...." Loa asked. Dorochet shrugged and went back to the homunculus's body. He shook Greed again and reciving a response. The homunculus groaned softly and Dorochet sighed in relief. Greed blinked and looked up, turning his face away. Dorochet placed his hand on Greed's face, felling how cold it was.
"You tried killing yourself didn't you sir?" Dorochet asked, worry showing in his voice. Greed ignored him and continued looking away from him. Dorochet sighed and helped Greed sit up. Greed leaned against Dorochet's shoulder, closing his eyes. He turned his face away from Dorochet as he hurled. Dorochet rubbed his boss's back and stood up, helping the sin stand. Greed immediatly stumbled back and Dorochet caught him. He steadied the sin and let the homunculus use him as support. Greed leaned against the chimera until his world stopped spinning. Dorochet shifted slightly under the sin's weight and Greed smirked weakly. He stood straight, removing his weight from Dorochet's body.
"You should be careful, sit down.... Mr. Greed? SIR!" Dorochet said, his voice rising as he caught the tall homunculus. Greed just nodded weakly and sat down. His head was spinning again and he hurled again.
"I've been thinking..... Maybe it's about time to get over Kimbley.... I mean sure he was important to me... but I can't bring him back. I doubt anyone would help me bring him back. So, I'll just finally accept he's gone." Greed said softly. Dorochet and Loa looked at eachother worriedly. Dorochet kneeled beside the sin and looked at him.
"You shouldn't give up quite yet..... For all you know... well... nevermind... just don't give up quite yet." Dorochet said. Greed blinked several times before looking at the chimera.
"W-what do you mean? Why shouldn't I give up? He... he won't come back, " the sin said after awhile. Dorochet shrugged and stood up, leaving the homunculus to contemplate what he had said.
