"And then I said... hey are you even listening?" I growled. "Old hag?" The busty woman known as my sister continued to ignore my comments as she fixed her hair. Gluttony watched in awe as the brush moved up and down in smooth strokes. Id imagine the strands it's as soft as silk. A web that attracts insects before she has Gluttony consume her prey.

"I need you to watch our brother again." She hands Gluttony the brush allowing him to play with her hair.

"Another Date?" I frowned. "Same Guy?" She hummed in response.

"I haven't gotten all the information we require them." She studied her face in a mirror. In reality someone like her shouldn't be able to see her reflection. How come a person of her liking can illustrate a folktale and I'm the one that ends up... No. I'm just as good as she is. Actually. I'm even better. I don't need to add those womanly accessories to make myself feel pretty. I'm already young and adorable. Not that it really matters much when it comes to looking after Gluttony. Did she really need to leave?

"It's not that we need it. They just need to confirm what we already know. After that they don't have any other use." I frowned.

"Lust! My Lust! I'm hungry." The younger brother stood chewing on his finger allowing bits of drool to run down from his mouth to his chin and ribbon around his finger.

"Envy will feed you. I don't want to get my hands dirty after fixing myself up." His little eyes looked up at me. I didn't agree to this!

"Envy will feed?" He tilted his head mimicking the elder.

"Can't he feed himself?"

"Must I remind you what happened when you left him unsupervised? Here I thought it would have been clear you learned your lesson. Only fools make the same mistake twice." I shook my head.

"I'm not a moron, I just think it's stupid I have to baby him." Athough the reasons were obvious to both of us. Pride hardly ever showed his presence. Greed was no where to be found. Wrath and Sloth were both busy with a job. This only left myself to babysit. Which isn't completely terrible. I was one of the few people that Gluttony would listen to and I didn't really have anything else to do at the moment.

"I expect to be leaving him in good hands." I frowned. It was only that one time. It wasn't my fault he was hard to keep track of.

"Leaving?" Gluttony watched Lust with sad eyes. It was always like this. He acts like he will never see her again but I doubt that will ever happen.

"Don't cause too much of a ruckus for Envy. Okay?" Gluttony nods. He knows the routine. At this point he gives her a big hug and sniffs her over to bring himself comfort in her absence before letting her leave. The clicking of her heels fading into silence.

"Hungry." He repeated after a moment. I sigh. I can't wait until she gets back.
