[infinitecruelty]

...You're too pretty to be all that smart, aren't you.

[tothosewhobait]

I am incredibly smart, thank you. Also, pretty? I hate to break it to you, but by merfolk standard I am rather plain.

[infinitecruelty]

[Blinks.]

You're fucking with me.

[tothosewhobait]

Oh, I am quite serious.

[Snags the drink again while Envy thinks about that]

[infinitecruelty]

[Yeah he's just gotta. Really mull over that one for a minute.

On the one hand this could just be a way for Azul to get his ego stroked.

On the other, the idea that there can, in fact, be more beautiful creatures than Azul is... Beyond unnecessary and completely devastating.

Envy groans and rubs at his face, shaking his head.]

I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear that.

[tothosewhobait]

[Nods in agreement and sympathy, taking another drink]

I am not even the most attractive guy at my school.

[infinitecruelty]

[Raises a hand, still rubbing at his eyes with the other.]

No more, please. My self esteem is already raw.

[tothosewhobait]

Is your self esteem normally low?

[infinitecruelty]

[Bristles-

And then leans his elbow on the bar, blinking expectantly at him.]

Azul, sweetheart. What's my name~?

[tothosewhobait]

…point taken.

[infinitecruelty]

Thank you.

[Huffs through his nose and snatches the drink back.]

It wasn't always so bad, but I guess it wouldn't be hell if I wasn't miserable.

[tothosewhobait]

What makes it worse here?

[Waving down the employee to make Azul himself something]

[infinitecruelty]

[Grumbles, casting his glare out towards the beach.]

Something very important was taken from me when I passed through the gate.

[Because he's fully convinced that's how he's ended up here.]

[tothosewhobait]

[Sips his drink, thinking the over for a moment before speaking up]

That certainly seems like a theme here… Well? What was it?

[infinitecruelty]

[Sigh.]

My abilities, as a homunculus. What I was created to do.

[Looking just, oh so forlorn.]

I could be whoever I wanted. Whatever I wanted. I guess I'd taken the whole thing for granted because I'd always been able to do it. Now that I can't...

[Or maybe Envy isn't actually being dramatic. He seems to be realizing something in real time.]

...it's like a part of me is missing.

[tothosewhobait]

Envy, sweetheart…would you say that’s a wish?

[infinitecruelty]

[Sits up a bit straighter, furrowing his brow a bit incredulously.]

Is that something you can do? Return me to normal?

[tothosewhobait]

I might have some conditions, but I believe I can swing that one. It’s our day off though, so we can figure out the specifics tomorrow. Meet at my office nice and early?

[infinitecruelty]

Conditions...? [Squint]

[tothosewhobait]

Nothing you wouldn’t be willing to agree to, I’m sure.

[Slides out of the bar seat, arms going over his head as he stretches.]

I’ll text you the address tonight.

[infinitecruelty]

...if you say so.

[He's not sure he really believes that but guess he has no choice but to wait and see.]

Not gonna stick around for your drink?

[tothosewhobait]

[Casts the drink the bartender is working on a look, nose crinkling up a bit]

Not a chance. I saw how much syrup he put in it.

[infinitecruelty]

[Snorts]

A little extra sugar never killed anybody~

[tothosewhobait]

I will be relying on you to finish it for me then. See you tomorrow, Envy.

[Picks up his basket and gives a little wave as he heads towards the beach exit]
