Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ace smiles "Yes it is when you aren't supposed to exist in the first place. Also you did assault two state alchemists so I guess that can be punish worthy enough."

(That's what she said. >.<)

"Who's fault is that?" the boy asked with no inflections. His question could easily be misunderstood as a statement, but he let his eyebrow rise slightly. Methodical logic twisting was his specialty.

"Not ours. No babe can claim that they meant to be born. So you have no right to say we should or shouldn't exist. It was not our mistake to feel your redemption," he chided the man. Though Ace was older and much taller, Treachery looked at him as if he were a simpleton.

"I agree, in part at least, on your assault charge. Though it goes both ways. Sloth," he looked then to his comrade, eyes a darkened green that held no light. "I'm surprised you proceeded without orders." Looking back at the alchemist, he nodded in acquiescence. "She was supposed to only prevent you from harming us, not harm you." Darting eyes caught a glance at the girl before she pulled away.

"Your spy also assaulted my Sloth. She is using unnecessary force to subdue a target that has proven she is not trying to actually kill you. Merely on the assumption that she is not human. And again," he droned on as his gaze resumed their unblinking stare at the alchemist Ace.

"You have no proof that we have done any harm to anyone, other than this spat that has escalated partly due to your own trigger happiness. It's a shame Sloth isn't more bloodthirsty," he mused, though the tone lacked any real conviction. "She only runs on a defensive measure. But I'm sure the state has covered up murder before. That's what you dogs do, right?"

Taking a step forward, Treachery leveled himself evenly with Ace. Between them were a few flattened tombstones and an upturned dead tree. Sloth was to his left, her attention still on the girl who had appeared so suddenly. He knew it must have been the spy from earlier. It all made sense. They wanted to contain whatever was going on quietly and quickly. They had no idea what they had stumbled upon. But he knew.

"Yes we do cover things up and it doesn't matter right now but before we continue how has Lust been since our last encounter in Nathal? Or do you not know here, she has to be here as this is a great opportunity for her."

"It is far beyond my reach to know the dealings of every homunculus in the world. If you wish to know how a certain one is, which would be entertaining enough to see you try without getting eaten or worse, then you must seek them out. Do not assume that we keep a network of connection merely because we are of the same creation," the boy countered with a slight tone if irritation. Even though in truth he knew exactly who the alchemist was talking about, he didn't particularly care to divulge unneccesary details.

Treachery then looked at the girl, his eyes glimmering with the sparks of fire from her alchemy. She just continued to amuse him. Even as he squared off with their commanding officer, she prevents any further verbal crossings by stepping between them with a proposition. Like Sloth he was not moved by her tears, but the deal was intriguing none the less.

"A dog is still a dog with or without a collar you know," he mused with no hint of amusement in his voice. Then he let his lips crack slightly in a smile that is the closest to sincerity he has come in a long while.

Taking a step closer he cocked his head to one side slightly and asked, "And what is it that I wish?"

"Ren Get away from him now. I can't let you work with those two. I am already helping you too much by not telling anyone your secret and if you do this I can't help you anymore and will have to invoke my power as a military dog as you call us and arrest you." Ace says worried that she would help them knowing how far she would go for the stone.

"I'll need live humans to make the stone's won't I," Ren asked her eyes focused on the amber stone. If you had been watching it would have look as if Ren hadn't listened to a thing Treachery had been said, but Ren heard every single word. "Tell me where do you want me to get the humans, and I'll be gladly to make you your own stone."

She was going to get to see her brother again. Ren was going to be loved again, she was going to fix everything. Unlike the Elric brothers she was going to fix everything this time. 'The truth never set you free Ren.' The little voice in Ren's head told her, but she was already reaching for her brother.

'To think they wanted me to settle down in that stupid town. Look at me now, I'm getting my wish. Brother I'll be there soon just hold on, I'll come and get you soon.' Ren had closed her eye, but they where open now. They had told her to heal, but she had shut down. With no emotion's after the failed attempts to bring her own mother back, but she had been fully brought back, and when she tried to get her brother's soul attached to armor she had failed. She didn't know where their failed mother went, but Ren didn't care anymore.

Catching Treachery's glance, Sloth shot her hair out at Ace. Like a whip, her hair snapped on the back of his wrist, causing him to drop the gun. A second lock of hair shot out and wrapped around his throat, squeezing him until he began to turn blue in the face. A single strand of hair wrapped around his throat too, though this one was placed slightly higher on his exposed neck. It was pulled taunt, threatening to slit his throat like a knife.

"Quiet." Sloth said, moving to stand closer to the group. Something told her that this alchemist was going to mess everything up if he wasn't incapacitated. She kept her grip on him, waiting for the girl and Treachery to finish.
