_{[When on video, Wrath is typically seen running loose and wild on the streets of Goldenrod, but today he's in a house. A house that seems empty except for him and various Pokemon that occasionally wander past in the background. He's sitting on the couch in the living room, surrounded by general clutter (empty Swirlix-Pop bags, loose papers, assorted clothing that may or may not belong to him) that shouldn't really surprise anybody who has known him longer than a day. There's some noisy slurping noises from off-screen where his Granbull is licking a hamburger wrapper.]

[And also there's a huge hole in the wall. It's jagged and bits of drywall are sticking out. You can see the yard (and more Pokemon) through it.]

[Wrath does not acknowledge this.]

[Instead, he pulls a Swirlix-pop from his mouth with an audible smack and taps it on his chin thoughtfully, leaving ominous red splotches.]}

Sometimes in life, you have to make choices.

But other times, you don't.

Those are just some of the times that happen in life.

Thoughts.

I mind you getting all wet. You're a child, human children shouldn't be wet for very long. I read somewhere it has ill effects. Especially at night.

And being sick is very miserable. I had a cold once and thought I was going to perish.

[Thankfully, Envy has taken on the task of walking Wrath through a temporary fix. Lust doesn't need to bother with that.

I remember that.

I tried to make you soup and you threw it away.

_{[He has the audacity to still sound mildly offended that she did that.]}

Yes, I did. The thought and effort were very sweet, and I appreciated them very much. But eating it would have poisoned me.

I've thrown out soup I made for the same reason.

Cooking is difficult.

I don't understand why we cook.

There are plenty of humans to do it for us.

_{[THE SOUP HAD BEEN A ONE TIME THING. Wrath has not tried his hand at cooking ever since.]}

Sometimes it's just nice to make something yourself.

And sometimes...having someone else do it might not be an option. It's rare, but it's possible.

If you have money, it's always an option!

_{[THAT IS ONE THING HE'S LEARNED ABOUT HUMAN LIFE: BEAUTIFUL CAPITALISM.]}

[Lust almost laughs. It's an argument she's made so many times herself...]

[Which is why she doesn't bother to point out there could be a time when he had no money. It's such an unlikely scenario, and...there's just something warming and endearing to hear him sound so much like herself.]

I certainly can't argue with that.

_{[The counterpoint to her unspoken thought is that when you're a thief, you'll always have money. And Wrath is certainly not above pickpocketing. It's his job!]}

Of course not, it's just true.
