[Envy actually laughs, but it's more bitter than humorous.]

Oh, let me tell you about what the hell happened there. Lust had already pulled something disobedient by helping you two back in Liore. That mission? That was supposed to be some kind of redemption for her.

Normally, she would have sent me with Lust. But by then, our master knew damn well that I might wind up compromised if Lust was involved. She sent Sloth and Wrath to watch her and make sure she didn't pull anything else, and as a punishment. Those two would kill Lust if they had to, and I think she knew that I might not. Plus, it'd impress on the two newest what happens when someone screws up too badly.

They really hated each other. But that's all getting a little off topic.
