[Lust has her device propped up in front of her, so she can sit and rest her chin in her hands to record. Guttle is next to her, on his back, chewing on some sort of toy or treat. For a change, Lust's demeanor and tone are both contented ones.]

Traveling for leisure seems very commonplace in this world. I admit it's something I'm only now indulging in myself but...

I wondered if anyone had any stories they'd like to share. Pleasant stories, about their travels.

I think I'd like to hear some.

Pleasant stories? I'm sure I can think of something.

[He's assuming the roadtrip is going well so far. Because yes, he was kind of unhappy and jealous of Greed that they were leaving to have adventures together...but it's not like he was going to stop her. And she does look happy, so it's not like he can truly complain.]

Do you want one from here, or one from home?

From here.

[Much as Lust misses having Envy around, she needs to get her own feet under her. And they can always talk. She's glad he responded.]

[It's also far from the first time they've been traveling on opposite sides of a country; he'll miss her, but he'll get used to it quickly.]

A lot of the good stories weren't too great when they were happening...

There was once when it was me and those two humans, I've mentioned them to you before. We'd accidentally stowed away on the ferry to Cianwood, but when we came back we paid the fare and got to ride on the actual boat. Much better than hiding in a lifeboat.

[He grins, a little smugly.] Tulio was convinced one of the crew was going to notice that we were the ones who'd jumped out of the lifeboats before, but they never did.

Yes, I remember you mentioning them.

How did you manage to accidentally stow away on a ferry?

We might've pissed off the dock workers a little.

[Pause.]

Okay, pissed them off a lot. But if they wanted to keep their money, they shouldn't have been that gullible. We thought the lifeboats would be a good place to hide...didn't think the ferry would leave that soon.

A little?

Well, it sounds like an adventure.

It guess it was. Like I said, the good stories are all the ones where things went wrong.

Hell, I might not even have stayed with them if Tulio hadn't had to save my ass the first week we were traveling together. I didn't know the berries were poisonous, and I ate some that made me too sick to move for a whole day. But he stayed with me, even though we'd been at each other's throats the entire time before that.

[It's clear from the way he's talking and his expression that it meant a lot to him, and that it's a good memory. Even though it had been awful at the time. He's quiet for a second, before continuing in the more unsure, awkward tone he gets when he's trying to be genuine about something.]

I'm...glad you're getting to go have your own adventures, too.
