...I don't get it. What's the point? Won't all humans die before you? Why care about them?

Probably.

[ Greed shrugs and then he grins, rakish as always. ]

That's not going to stop me. I'm the personification of avarice. I want what I want, even if I end up losing it in the end. I'm still going to fight to keep it for as long as I can.

[ Look, he's got a bit of a soft spot. ]

Huh. I don't think I'd ever be able to handle it.

[I'd rather just die myself.

Huh... weird. It's been a long time since she's had thoughts like that, but... they're not unfamiliar to her.]

Yeah? Why's that?

[ He seems... oddly sincere. ]

I guess it's just another type of sore loser, but... I don't think I'd be able to handle everyone dying away without me.

[ There's a little ha from him. Something amused and understanding at the same time. He tucks his hands into his pockets and shrugs. ]

I think I get that. Or I do now, anyway. I think that's why I want to fight to keep them around. Just giving in to fate or time or whatever... it's not what I do. But... not wanting to be alone...

[ This sounds sappy. He knows it sounds sappy. ]

Yeah. I understand that.

Really? Huh, I guess you can be a little cool sometimes.

Only sometimes? I bare my heart and that's what I get?

[ Teasing. Sort of. ]

I mean, kind of silly of you to expect me to do anything with a heart other than trample it.

You know what? I can respect that.

[ He spreads his arms in a shrug. ]

Don't expect to drive me away like that, though.

I'll just have to find another way.

I'm a stubborn asshole. Ask anyone who knows me.

Guess that gives a new meaning to "emotionally constipated", right asshole?

Are you sure you're not talking about yourself, Miss Ice Queen?

You're the one who called yourself asshole.

I didn't call myself "emotionally constipated"!

[ Even if he is. ]

Learn to loosen up a little; you'll probably live longer.

That's not the goal.

What? Are you just waiting around to die, then?

Not really, but life is kind of all struggle and little pay off. No use staying longer than you have to.

You know, sometimes I really don't get humans.

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

Come on. There's got to be something you want out of life. No one just wants to get through it as fast as possible.

All I really want is not to be dependent on anybody. Honestly, if I could ditch this life and rewrite it? I probably would.

Well, how do you define "dependent", then?

[ He's digging in a little now; call him curious. ]

You don't strike me as the "live in the woods as a hermit" type.

Well... at first I just didn't want to live off my father's money. But being able to support myself would be nice.

[She can already hear him saying "Oh well just let me provide for you, be mine~"]

[ It's like she knows him or something. ]

I'd say you could let me handle that but somehow I don't think you'd like that any better than taking money from dear old dad, huh?

[ He laughs. ]

So get a job. Or... whatever it is you want to do. Find that and go after it.

Oh my god, yes, I know. I'm in school now to get a decent job. I just don't know what kind... ugh there's too many options.

[And she doesn't have passion for ANY of it.]

And it's all work.
