Language warning. It's Roman.

Roman's point of view

I'm fricking confused.
Is Virgil the merchandise they talked about or is he showing it to them?
Maybe he made the product and the Envys stole it from him?

"Roman! Have you been listening to anything have been saying?!" Mal sneered - knowing full well I was daydreaming.

Shit.

Ok, one of two answers. Go-o... Go with th risky one.

"Sorry, I wasn't, I was too busy admiring the merchandise." It made me feel physically sick saying that.

"Ok, basically we were talking about if you wanted to buy it." Ben proclaimed.

"First things first, what does it do? How much does it cost?"

It.   

"Roughly you." Mal said.

"What about something else?"

"I guess; there is a list of things we need. If you complete the list you get him back.     Deal?"

"Yeah but what does he do?"

"Whatever you desire."

I had a think about it.
Maybe this is a good thing?
How could it be though?
My cru- dude got kidnapped and know I have to buy him back.

I saw the Envys consider leaving. Especially Mal who seemed very uncomfortable with my presents.

"May I ask one more thing before I got the list?"

"Sure!" Ben chirped.  Ben is creepily like Patton. Upbeat, polite and somewhat immature.

"Why did you bring him here?" I whispered under my breath. Not having the courage to say it out loud.

But I usually have courage. Why is this any different?
If anything I shouldn't be scared. I have fought fucking dragon witches.
I. Should. Not. Be. Scared.
I.
Am.
Not.
Scared.

"What did you say? I can't hear you?"

I said it again at a level they could here.

"Simple" Mal began, "You."

"Please continue. I'm confused."

"You are always confused Roman. That's why you don't deserve what you have. And that's one reason why we deserve it!"

I thought for a minute. Confused as usual.

Of course! I am truly an idiot. This is a jealousy plot with envy. Or rather a envy it with Envy.

They were angry at me I think.
Well, Mal was. That was easy to see.
But Ben. He was harder to read even though he was showing his emotions on his sleeves.

Ben tapped me lightly on the shoulder and gave a sheet of paper.
I began to read.

•Get Logan's computer.
• Get Patton's night light.
•Get Remy's Starbucks cup.
•Get Deciet's pet snake.
•Get Roman's sword.
•Get Virgil's lime trinket box.

I knew about all of these but Virgil's. His chest of drawers weren't lime and they didn't have a music box. I am confused.

"And remember Roman." Mal teased.
"If any of the other side's know about this. You lose. And we keep Virgil."

"How long to I have?"

"As long as Virgil will survive without food!"
