"Did it go as plan, Envy?" Pride asked with a smirk as he leaned back in the chair and placed his feet on his desk.
"Yes, sir. He escaped and I will be following him once he leaves Lior." Envy informed with a bored look at Pride.
"It's a pity that I only have two homunculi left alive. Oh, well, Lust and you will have to do. Now I take it that you have an identity for hiding, hmm?" Pride inquired with a shrug of his shoulders as if he might be wrong.
"I do. I'm transforming into a homeless beggar. No one will bother to even look my way." He answered with a smirk as his body started to change form and an old looking man covered in rags stood where the once barely dressed homunculi had.
"Brilliant, until he figures out that you're following him." Pride countered with narrowed eyes at Envy as he pushed off his desk and stood.
"Then I just change to another form. He can't catch me if he doesn't know it is me." Envy declared before his body changed to a woman with red wearing a skimpy black dress.
"Alright, fine, go." Pride dismissed Envy as he walked around his desk to open the door for the other. "Oh, and tell Lust that if she's not careful her time will come before she knows it."
"Yes, sir." Envy said before stepping out and down the hall to meet with Lust.
"I find it amusing." Lust said with a bored look and a bland tone in her voice.
"And what do you find amusing, Lust?" Envy asked as he transformed back into his regular form.
"All this pointless fighting when we could just use other people to do our dirty work." Lust said in a soft seductive type voice as she placed her hand softly on her chest.
"Well, not everyone is as tricky as you are. Someone in the group has to do the dirty work and it always has to be me because you just won't do the job yourself."Envy explained with a smirk as he looked at Lust.
"Hmm, you have a point." Lust said before she turned and started down the hall. "I grow tired of this; I'm going to retire to my room." She added when she disappeared into the shadows.
"Oh, and watch your back, Lust." Envy stated before turning around and going down the hall away from Lust after he had heard her 'Okay.' He changed into the homeless man before he walked out, through the mirage of trees, and into Lior. He made his way through the town and to the small open bar where he took a seat.
"What would it be, sir?" The man behind the counter asked.
"Just some water, please." Envy said and the owner nodded his head before Envy turned to face away from the bar so he could examine the people walking around.
"Here you go, sir." The bartender said with a polite smile.
"Thanks." Envy said softly as he grabbed the cup without looking and then taking a drink. He sighed after twenty minutes of looking and no luck. Ed has not passed by or even stopped at the open bar. He was about to give up when a soft voice beside him caught his attention.
"Hello, I was wondering if you could fill up this jug with water." The masked person asked in a soft tone as he set an empty jug on the counter.
"Sure, stranger. Anything for a friend of Rose." The bartender replied with a bright smile and he grabbed the jug and turned away from the counter to do as asked.
"You sound familiar, stranger. What's your name?" Envy asked as he turned his now bright blue eyes to look at the black eyes of the mask.
"My name is Envidia Lujuria Orgullo." The black haired masked man replied as he waited.
"That's weird, you're Japanese but you have a Spanish name." Envy said with narrowed eyes.
"My dad was from somewhere in Spain." The other stated calmly with a shrug of his shoulders. "Why does it matter?"
"It doesn't, I was just curious." Envy said with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders. 'This could be Ed in disguise, but so far I'm seeing no sign that it is him.' He thought as he examined the other man and noticed that he couldn't see any part of his skin. "Why are you so covered up in such a hot place?" He accused as he met the hollow eye holes again.
"I'm really sensitive to the sun. I have to cover up or risk getting three degree burns." The other said it so simply as if that was even possible.
"Here you are, Envidia." The bartender interrupted as he set the now full jug on the counter.
"Thanks, man." Envidia said as he grabbed the jug and waved as he walked away.
"How do you know him?" Envy asked the bartender when Envidia was far out of hearing distance.
"Rose introduced him this morning. It's an old friend of hers from the orphanage." He explained with as he started to dry a cup that already looked dry.
"Hmm, an old friend you say. I think I'm going to have to pay this Rose a visit. Thanks for the water but I must be on my way now." Envy said as he stood and turned toward the way that Envidia had gone.
"Alright, come again when you can, stranger." The bartender said as he turned away and went to attending to his store.
'Yeah, I think I won't.' Envy thought as he made his way down the road and ducked into an alley to quickly transform into his women form. He stopped a house away as he saw the masked man go into a house and smirked. 'You're fast but not fast enough.' He quickly made his way under the open window and listened.
"Rose, I swear, there was this weird guy down at the bar saying that I sounded familiar." Envy heard the masked man whine then he heard a giggle.
"You're just over reacting. As long as keep your cool, you'll be fine." A woman that Envy believed to be Rose said.
"But what if I'm not? What if someone is out to get me?" The masked man groaned and then Envy heard a body fall on something soft.
"Don't worry. You'll be out of here and to somewhere safe soon. I won't let you get hurt again." Envy heard Rose speak again with a soft tone.
'It has to be him, who else would be scared about some stranger talking to them.' He thought as he finally stood and made his way to the door.
"Can I help you?" A brown and pink haired woman answered the door after Envy had knocked three times.
"Uh…Yes, I was looking for someone. Black hair, a mask, and baggy clothes. I saw him come down this way but then I lost him." Envy lied in his girl voice with a small smile of embarrassment.
"Oh, you must be talking about Envidia." Rose said as she stepped aside and let the red haired woman in. "He's on the couch in the living room. May I ask, how you know him?"
"Oh, I don't know him, but he just seemed so lost when he was in town that I had the urge to follow him." Envy lied with a smile as he made his way toward the living room.
"Who are you?" Envidia asked as he turned his masked face to the red haired woman.
"I'm Jessica." Envy easily lied with a fake smile as he stood a foot from the couch.
"I don't know any Jessicas, sorry." Envidia said with a bored tone as he continued to lay down on the couch.
"I know. I saw you in town and wanted to get to know you." Envy said still holding his fake smile.
"Well, my name is all there is to me. Nothing else. If that's it, you can leave." Envidia growled as he looked stood and walked out of the room.
"You must excuse him; he just won't trust anyone nowadays. He just lost his lover and is in a terrible set of mind." Rose said with a frown as she stared at the door that Envidia just went through.
"Oh, it's quite okay. By the way, I was wondering. Do you perhaps know an Edward Elric?" Envy asked with an innocent look at Rose. "I heard he was in town and I wanted to see how he was doing." He added to the lie.
"Oh, I don't know what to tell you, but he's already left town. He won't be coming back for a while." Rose lied with a fake sympathy smile.
"Oh, that's a pity. Well, maybe next time then. Sorry to intrude. I guess I'll be on my way then." Envy said with a forced smile as he walked towards the front door.
"Oh, alright." Rose said sadly as she opened the door and let the red haired woman out.
"Envidia, you can come out now. She's gone." Rose's voice floated through the open window to Envy's ears.
'Okay, I guess it's not Ed. Maybe he did leave last night when he escaped. Oh, Pride is going to kill me if he finds out about this.' Envy thought with a frown as he made his way out of the town and started his trek to the next town.
