Teli POV:
"All right, enough. This is starting to depress me." Levi said.
What doesn't?
"Anyway, I didn't bring you here to tell you about TSL."
I didn't think that for a second.
But I honestly got really curious right now, wondering what Leviathan had in mind as I leaned in closer to hear what he has to say.
"I don't think there's any harm in just coming out and saying what you already know is true: Mammon is a complete and utter scumbag." Levi stated.
I stared at him...
Blankly? Angrily? Disbelief...ely?
All of the above??
I just stared at him, that's the point! What is it with him and his brothers and stating the friggin' obvious???
"It's very important that you understand this. So I'll say it one more time. Mammon is a hopeless, worthless, SCUMBAG." I jumped and looked at him with wide eyes. I definitely didn't expect that outburst.
But if there's one thing I've learned in the last 1 hour that I've been here: Mammon brings the worst out of everything. It's a gift really.
"I lent that scumbag money, and now I want him to pay me back. But being the scumbage that he is, he won't do it. I wish I could force him to, but despite what a rotten waste of space he is, Mammon's still the second oldest. As the third oldest, no matter how hard I try, I don't stand a chance against him." Levi explained the situation to me.
"Well, he's still dumb, can't you just make a deal with him that you'll give him one Grimm if he'll pay you back what he owes you? Pretty sure he'll fall for it." I suggested, Levi copied the look I gave him a few minutes ago, "Oh right, the Avatar of Greed... Money is his nature... right, go on then."
"I was actually going to say that I tried that. He just said he didn't have any money right now so he'll fill his end of the deal later." Levi said, making me look at him with wide eyes again.
Wow... Can't help but salute Mammon for that.
"You say you want to know how Mammon and I first became enemies? -"I never said that...-" Well, It's a long story, but sure I'll tell you, human. -"Are you even listening to me?-" Once, a long time ago, Mammon won a prize in a convenience store promotional campaign. If you bought something, they let you reach into a box and pull out a piece of paper that told you what you'd won."
"Oh, that's nice." I nodded.
"And the prize Mammon won was a Seraphina figurine, something I would've died to have. But, despite the fact that Mammon had no interest in it at all, he refused to give it to me. Why, you ask? Because I wanted it... that's it. That was the only reason. I wanted it, and he said no just to torment me. I mean, how awful is that?!" Levi asked me.
"You're right. That's low, even for Mammon." I said. I had nothing else to say except for the fact that it's a classical sibling thing to do but I'm not going to say that to Levi, especially since I have no experience in it. Never had siblings to confirm.
"So, I got to thinking... Mammon's going to end up treating Seraphina like some random piece of junk. That much is a given. I can maybe handle it if he at least leaves her in her original packaging, but what if he actually takes her out of the box?! He might just do it! And if he does, he'll get dust on her, won't he?!" Levi exclaimed dramatically as if he's revliving this moment, which he probably did.
Would it be too inappropriate to dramatically do a fake shocked gasp? Because it's pretty tempting!
"I decided I had to save Seraphina, so I snuck into Mammon's room in the middle of the night. And what do you think I saw there?!"
