Envy ushers the two to move a little before sitting down on the bed with them, looking at Mumei as she prepares the stream before turning to Bae.
"...No."
"Aw, come on. Does it hurt~?"
"...Yes."
"Don't believe ya. She won't get angry~"
"How do you know doe?" Gura asks as she leans forwards to see the other two better.
"Because I've known Mumei for thousands of years now~ She's forgiving~" She waves her hand dismissively, tilting her head towards Gura as she does so.
"...Thousands of years?"
"Hm? Yeah, why?"
"...How?"
"...Whaddya mean 'how?'"
"..."
"...Do you not know how long she's lived?"
"...How long?"
"Over six thousand years~"
Envy gives a short nod, he turns his head to look at Mumei. He sees her distracted and focused face and his jaws clench.
"...Pitiful." He thinks to himself.
"...Are they even sane? Maybe... they're already broken. They just can't accept it."
He turns back to Bae, looking at her as if she's an indecipherable puzzle, unable to understand... how could you live so long and stay sane?
"...How long have you lived?"
Bae was busy making small talk with Gura when Envy asked her.
"Hm?" She turns back to him to see his attentive face, unusual given what she's seen of him so far.
"...I've lived for... Uh, well, since chaos began. So, about 13.4 billion years."
"...What are billions?"
"...Okay, as old as the universe."
"...universe?"
"...As old as the world, is that good?!"
"...yes."
"...As old as the world..." Envy thinks to himself, pondering the suffering... the pain she must've gone through.
The two keep their gazes locked, but Bae shortly averts her eyes, disused to having such staring contests. Instead, she looks back at Mumei.
"...Wait, now that I think about it... I don't even know your name!"
"...Envy."
"Ooh, Envy~? That's a cool name! How'd you get it tho?"
"..." He turns away from her, also using Mumei to escape the staring contest.
"Mm, not telling. Got it~"
"...What's your name?"
A playful smirk creeps up on her face as he turns back.
"...Not telling~"
"...Fine."
"Oh, come on! C'mon, give and take!"
"...I received my name from Death."
Both girls look at him in confusion.
"...Death?" They ask in unison as they stare.
"...Yes, Death."
"...But why?"
"..." They receive no answer from the man.
