li — 7 deadly sins: greed
Three dark-haired children sat together down on the grass, each holding assorted art supplies. The one whom was obviously the eldest out of the trio, a kind-eyed astute male with a large white poster board in his arms, maintained a watchful eye on the other two, keeping tabs on their current ongoing transaction.
"So three color pencils for a color marker," said Kagome adorably, repeating the same line to herself as she picked out her tools to trade. From her little opened box she drew out the colors she was least fond of: white, brown, and gray. Reason being, white didn't even show up on the paper; brown was so dull in comparison to the bright, spunkier shades such as pink and orange; and gray was way too duhpress-depriss—depressing. She extended her plump fist to Sai, the sharp ends of the pencils sticking up to the sky.
Sai made a show of counting the colored pencils one by one with a stubby index finger, his mouth set in a regal line.
"Nope."
Kagome's happy expression twisted to that of dramatic shock. "No?" she squeaked.
"I said four color pencils for one color marker. This is three," said Sai with his nose high up in the air, crossing his arms. "You're trying to cheat me, Kago-chan."
"Am not! You said three, I know you did!"
The eldest of the trio, Shin, sighed and leaned forward to the smaller children. He knew this had been coming from the start. Not Sai nor Kagome ever played fair, and whether it was one or both trying to cheat the other in their newest trade, it always ended up with him intervening and saying:
"Okay, munchkins, calm down. Let's not be greedy."
Avarice, the sphincter of the heart.
