"Good, you survived your first day. That bodes well for your future together."
The inhuman voice echoed around her as she opened to her eyes to the empty white space once more.
"Yeah…" Amara was less than thrilled. She'd managed to get a minuscule amount of studying done, but only after she'd ordered the sin to shut up and not move for an hour. Actually, she'd worded it as a permanent command but it had worn off… which had been rather frustrating… And then the bastard had had the nerve to actually guilt her into not reapplying the command. It was ridiculously unfair how well he could play up his misery to pull at her heart strings. It had been so unexpected and how on earth was she supposed to say no to such a pitiful face? How did such an evil creature manage to look so adorably miserable?
Manipulative asshole.
She knew he was just playing her for a fool.
But at least when he was doing that he wasn't being as much of a jerk…
"There was one small detail I neglected to mention earlier," Truth admitted.
Amara's eyes narrowed suspiciously."What?"
"The commands you give immediately lose their effect once you lose consciousness. You'll have to reapply them when you wake up," it told her matter-of-factly.
"Say what?!" she shouted in outrage. "How is that fair?! He'll murder me in my sleep!"
"Unlike you, Envy isn't bordering on suicidal. I very much doubt he'll do anything that would risk his second demise," Truth retorted dryly.
Amara stared at the humanoid in horror. Ok so he wouldn't kill her. There were still a lot of bad things that could still happen without her dying…
Truth chuckled.
Amara's eyes narrowed in anger.
"You're enjoying this aren't you?" she seethed, "You like making people miserable! I'm starting to think Envy doesn't like you for a good reason you bastard!" she glared blackly at the creature.
It grinned and tisked at her infuriatingly.
"Now Amara, how does losing your temper set any sort of good example for your charge? Speaking of which, you might want to consider waking up now. He's up to no good again…"
"I hate you!" She hissed.
"You sound like you're feeling better. I knew a little distraction was all you needed."
It chuckled at her fury and the scene slowly dissolved.
