Okay.

<sub>[He will try! Because while he will never NOT be a rambunctious ball of energy, right now he is actually very invested in Being Good. He had promised to come back here, and he really didn't want keeping that promise to involve him having to get locked back into the basement.]

[Sure, they all said he wouldn't have to, but well, that's what happens to Bad things. It happened to Greed! Clearly it was the norm.]

[He follows her into the living room, holding the cup very carefully. He will wait to take a sip until he's sat down.]</sub>

Make yourself comfortable, I'll set up the movie.

[She sets the popcorn on the coffee table, easily within Qrath's reach. Guttle wastes no time in rolling up to the edge of the table, just in case. Small Friend often feeds him.]

Would you like to see if anyone else wants to join us?

... Do you all lie down at night like humans now?

I've noticed humans really don't like being bothered at night, even when it looks like they're dead.

[a_sin_for_him]

Sleeping. That's sleeping. Human bodies need to sleep every night, to recharge energy. And no, people don't like to be bothered if they're asleep. But if anyone else is awake, I could ask them to join us. We keep odd hours.

[And perhaps Wrath would be more comfortable. They've made a great deal of progress, of course, but he isn't used to spending time alone with her.]

But we don't have to.

[garbagechild]

Oh yeah. I always forget that's what it's called.

<sub>[He sleeps a lot more than he actually realizes-- half the time he pays quite literally no attention at all to the passage of time, and therefore usually doesn't have any awareness that he's actually been out for four or five hours rather than just spending a few minutes somewhere comfortable.]

[After considering the offer a little more, he shrugs his shoulders.]</sub>

This is okay.

_{[It's partly strategic thinking. If, for some reason, the tables abruptly turn again and Lust decides to be his enemy once more (OR just decides to put him in the basement again), one ex-homunculus will be much easier for him to escape from than three-and-an-Elric.]}
