(3) Sins.
As midnight rolled around, three lone figures made their way along the small path.
"The Full Metal pipsqueak is here!" Envy said grumbling.
Lust nodded. "That was what I was told. He was came here on his own, but a little bird told me that he was sent here for his own safety. I think though, he's here so that there would be no interference from the military. He's all ours."
"Can I eat the tin can?" Gluttony sneered.
Lust smiled. "If our little alchemist doesn't do what we want. You may be allowed a few bites; just don't eat the blood seal."
Gluttony let his large tongue hang out as he laughed. The small party moved on through the night; they were close, so they quickened their pace.
"I'll make sure he does what we want; I'll enjoy making him bleed!" Envy chuckled.
Lust smiled thinly, Envy's hatred toward the Elrics was wearing thin. As was having a master order her around, Dante would never use the philosophers' stone to turn them human. That woman just wanted the stone to prolong her own existence for another several centuries. If Envy wanted someone to abhor, then he should despise Hoenheim and Dante. Perhaps Greed had something going by not listening to Dante, and marching to the beat of his own drum. Lust needed to play her part; put on the mask that kept the others and Dante unaware of her new thoughts.
Lust chuckled. "Of course, but keep him alive long enough for us to use baby brother and become human after that you can do as you please with them. I really don't care."
It had been no really mystery to them that Alphonse had been transformed into the philosophers' stone.
