@dante-the-master.bsky.social ” This brings things, to quite an alarming shocker. Dante.... are you still willing, to obtain your precious philosopher stone? Just for the sake of eternal life. I hope you realize. You couldn't get rid of me, that easily. You can use everyone but not Greed! ”

« When you do adopt a human form, is it your intention for them to be handsome or beautiful? »

« Oh, he looks like he could be my -- ... Never mind. »

« Am I a "fucked up old lady"? »

« Nothing is "hard" for me to understand. It is only that starting over is pointless, because you never truly can start over. » (Or maybe it was just she who was incapable of putting in the effort to make a fresh start.)

« Of course. That would explain why the Lust from your dimension was rather ... unavailable. My apologies. Well, I would not be handing over any of my knowledge. I understand how these exchanges work and I would not be the one to choose what I give up. »

"Lust was one of my more muted emotions." It was nothing personal, it just was. "Knowledge for knowledge will suffice." After all the real toll would come much later.

« I am observing this. Simply so you know, Envy. »

"Sure, sure. Let your attention and touch-starved heart keep saying that. We all want to destroy what rejects us and what we can't be, right?" He shrugs. "What do you know about my creator, anyway? Humour me. Tell me how terrible our relationship is."

« That changes the conditions entirely. Foolish of me, to imagine that perhaps this young body of mine would prompt a man to act on my behalf. » (She laughs to herself) « So. What price would that be? One similar to the toll paid when committing human transmutation? »

Hermes Flamel (Father)@divineorder.bsky.social · last yr.

"I merely said It was child's play, that I could do it. Not that I would do it for you. If you want to learn how the resources are avaliable. As with all things the cost of knowledge is not cheap."

« Start over. What nonsense. There is no true "starting over", especially with your incomplete family that allows no room for ignoring the past. »

(Dante returns his scoff in a playful mockery.) « Now, would you go on and trust a stranger to permanently alter the state of your being? »

Father scoffs in mind amusement. "You do not truly feel the care for your son is a burden to you, then do you?"

« And now? You have accomplished your goal, have you not? It is but a matter of time before raw wounds rip open and reactivate that hate. Your common distraction has ceased to be. »

« Nonsense. I am not a fool to trust others with managing the whims of my soul. »

"If you truly want it gone, I can get rid of it. That would be child's play."

« Pride and joy? Do they not detest you? Are they not disloyal even in a corner crevice of their hearts? »

« Because he is my son. I continue to fail ridding myself of that instinct to care for him. »

Hermes Flamel (Father)@divineorder.bsky.social · last yr.

"If he is such a liability for you, why do you insist on keeping him?"

« ... » (She wishes she could say the same, or maybe she wishes she could bring herself to outwardly deny that she felt differently...) « You only believe that because biologically you are designed to. »

« Having children also accelerates the aging process. As long as you are a parent, you will feel your age deep in your blood and bones. »

« Precisely because you are old. There is no shame in it. »

« On the contrary. His explosive immaturity may be quick to lead to disloyalty, accidental or deliberate. Perfect as an embodiment of envy or not, an uncontrollable creation is but an uncontrollable creation and a liability at that. »

Hermes Flamel (Father)@divineorder.bsky.social · last yr.

"It is different; I do not find it terrible, at least for now. Envy has always been somewhat childish. That is the nature of jealousy, after all. I would expect no less than a handful; he would not have been perfect otherwise."

(As she makes notes in her laboratory journal of this obscene spectacle she is witnessing ...) « The alternate version of my son has adopted my son's human name. Meanwhile, my true son is using that as a means to commit mockery against me for having selected it for him. This shall be remembered. »

« It is a terrible start to our new existence in this universe, no? Envy may be my oldest and more intelligent homunculus, but he is an excruciating handful. »
