MeuxAmos with a pinch of dat Bezzie spice
Alright, now that Meu had a better grip on himself, he should probably go and grab that painting for Amos. Honestly, that was the first thing he should have done when he left the baths, but his mind had been understandably preoccupied at the time. There was always the chance that he would run into others, but it had seemed quiet outside at the moment. Thankfully no one had bothered him thus far, and honestly if he were to run into someone while retrieving the canvas, he wasn't going to be particularly friendly regardless of the image he wanted to maintain. He'd likely just ignore them or give them a nod and then shut them out. It seemed fortune was for once on his side as he peaked out of his bedroom and saw no others mulling about. Myut exhaled a breath of relief before confidently striding past his doorframe and toward the little table by the fireplace where the painting still remained. After all, this was for his work, and looking uncertain or shy would make him vulnerable. He had no qualms about commanding the empty room to put off any others who might be watching from their rooms. However, much to his horror, as he neared the sofa he found none other than Val and Cyr snuggled up in front of the fireplace. Of course. His luck was never good - at least not in here. He had forgotten that Cyr had announced he'd be here; it had only been about two hours since then, after all. The discovery had stopped him dead in his tracks, but, after confirming the two were still snoozing away, he eased his form. Myut did his best to ignore the two of them there, refusing to look at either for a moment longer. He had an objective, and looking at Val all wrapped up skin to skin with Cyr gave him the heebie-jeebies. The Greed proceeded with the utmost caution, because the last thing he needed was Valramir trying to drag him into that flesh pile. Grabbing a corner of the painting, he easily lifted the canvas with one hand before carefully securing it with the other. Ironclad in his grip, he returned without any trouble to his room. He carefully tucked it behind the wardrobe at the back of his room. It wouldn't do to leave it out so invitingly if another was being too nosy.

It wasn't too long after thar Amos had apparently decided the same thing that Myut did. The main room seemed quite empty for the time being and he wanted to make the most of it. Hopefully there would be no more interaction with that wretched gluttony demon that seemed hell bent on causing trouble for him. He needed to stop interacting with her, he needed to he more vigilant.
At least the greed demon was polite about asking for what he wanted. Though Amos was not looking forward to initiating that internal review.
So Amos slipped through the wall quietly, his friend waiting on the other side to pass things to. His first order of business was to clean up the mess the demons had left from their meal. (Animals, the lot of them.) He tried to be as quiet as possible stacking plateware back on the cart, eyes actively scanning the rooms around him just in case.

Mew had returned to his desk, slumped back comfortably within his chair, one leg up while he casually flipped through a little notebook. He'd pause occasionally to scratch a thought down or cross something else out with an ornate pen. Skrtch skrtch skrtch, the head of the pen would fly against the paper, being the only noise in the otherwise happily silent room. Skrtch, skrtch, clink. Wait... clink? His pen froze mid word as his brows furrowed lightly. That certainly hadn't been from him. The noise sounded again not but a few moments later, and Myut turned his head toward the door. That had come from the main room. Sounded like plates.
Putting his little checklist and pen down, Meu quietly rose from his desk with a soft look of curiosity. Who would be messing around with that? He peeked his head just around the doorframe, hoping to remain discreet should it be someone unsavory. He was surprised to see Amos instead. Well, that was rather good timing, what with no one else being around currently.
Disappearing back into his room for a moment, Myut re-emerged in utter silence, approaching Amos from behind on the guard's right.
"Need any help?"

Amos was so focused on skulking around that he didn't notice the presence silently advancing on him. He was making good progress on cleaning up. And then he'd send the trolley through, then look for the white haired demon to do some more business.
It was a great shock to his system, therefore, when all of a sudden there was a voice to his side. The guard let out a soft, strangled yelp as he tried to whirl around, only to find himself ensconced by the larger demon. "Oh..." he breathed, slowly relaxing slightly. "It's you."

With the strangled little yelp that escaped the guard's lips, the white-haired demon had immediately sprung into action - half from surprise himself. It had gotten him jumpstarted enough that he naturally stepped into the smaller demon to try to hide him, though he had dropped the painting he'd been carrying when he scared Amos and Amos in turn startled him. It would have been helpful to hold up to aid in blocking the boy from view. Instead, it had quietly lurched forward into a chair. At least that hadn't made any noise.
That was... less than ideal, Mew had to admit. It hadn't been particularly smart of him to sneak up on Amos like that, but he hadn't been intending to. Myut supposed he had just zeroed in on Amos a little too hard and hadn't even thought to announce himself coming. His arms, having protectively sided around Amos' person while he had used his body to block the blonde from view of the doors behind them, dropped abruptly as he cleared his throat softly and somehow not awkwardly. He took a step back, "Apologies," he spoke quietly now so he wouldn't spook the mouse any further.
"Er, I'll help." He nodded to himself in decision, quickly walking to the other side of the table where Amos had not reached yet, hoping to redeem himself. The painting remained next to Amos' legs where it had fallen. Myut would retrieve it after they were done if Amos did not. He was careful to be quiet with the dishes.

Amos blinked, straightening up as the other demon backed away slightly, clearing his throat. "Ah," he replied a bit awkwardly, feeling embarrassed for being so startled. How was a man that big so....quiet? "Thanks," he finished lamely, resuming cleaning up. Which started with grabbing the painting and carefully maneuvering it until it was leaning on the wall by where the door would be.
"I was going to look for you," he said softly as he joined Myut's side. "Do you have a list for me?"

Myut nodded in silence at the grateful word. It was the least he could do - he felt it would be far too awkward just to watch the little guard do all this work by himself. Meu was supposed to be coming across as approachable and helpful in order to gain Amos' favor.
As the smaller blonde came to a stop at his side with a gentle murmur, Meu carefully set aside the stack of plates he was working on. Hearing him say he was looking for him was beautiful music to Mew's ears. His lips pressed upwards from the impression of a soft grin. "Ah, that's right," he began, putting a hand on his hip and running a hand through his hair for a moment as he looked back toward his room.
"Let's get to that after we finish here," the olive-eyed Greed intoned, picking up the stack of plates he had abandoned moments before to calmly but swiftly bring them to the waiting cart. He intended to grab his little list once they were almost done. He'd do so when Amos had everything together on the cart and moved it to the 'door'. After all, Mew already knew that he shouldn't get to close to that wall lest it keep their mouse from doing his duty.

With the other demon's help, Amos made quick work of the table, even though he was very distracted with keeping an eye on the greed demon and scanning their surroundings in case one of the other gremlins decided to make an appearance.
Thankfully, as they stacked the last of the plates, the tall man backed off, allowing Amos to quickly send the rattling cart through the wall, chasing it down with the painting, before pulling away as if he was poking food down the garbage disposal with a fork. Didn't want to get pulled through too. Some of the other guards were less than happy to hear that he was investigating this, and he didn't want to risk getting stuck on the other side before his new friend gave him the list.
After all, if nothing else, it would be beneficial to make sure there was at least one person on his side. So if push came to shove...
Amos turned back, scanning the area once more, as he'd just made a bit of a clatter, but he saw no one. Perhaps the Greed demon had gone back to his room? That made sense, it would be more private there. He crossed the room furtively, stopping to lean against the door frame. He didn't snoop, he just looked directly, expectantly, at the taller demon.

Just as planned, Meu returned to his room as Amos pushed the cart towards the wall. He would have offered to help do that too, but, obviously, that wasn’t going to be allowed. So, in the meantime of waiting for Amos to finish up, Myut’s hand perused over the desk in his room, sliding a notebook or two out of the way as he procured the list their blonde guard had requested. Meu hadn’t actually convened with Vivian just yet, but pulling from their prior encounter in which he had helped her go through her things, he had done his best to recall all those that had been missing and add them to their list.
With handwriting extremely neat and pleasantly flourished, the list was simple – broken into two headers for each demon with the ‘suspected’ thefts stacked below. It was no measly sum; though, to be fair, one item would be too many for Meu. Unfortunately for him, this note was comprised of three such things. Vivian’s was about the same, and Mew mused for a moment whether or not he should be grateful that her things had been taken too – for perhaps that had kept more of his own where they belonged. In any case, it would not do to dawdle much longer. The more time that passed, the more likely it was for Amos to become accosted by the other demons. That would suck big time for the both of them. Myut still wasn’t feeling particularly sociable at that moment, Amos being the exception, of course.
However, when the Greed turned around with the intent to return to the main room where he thought Amos would be waiting for him, he was instead surprised to find said blonde leaning against his doorframe. This caused naught but a tiny pause before Myut grinned, as it likely meant that this Pride was just as eager to get this done as he was. “Ah, I see you’re taking advantage of my open-door policy,” the Greed joked, having absolutely no power over whether or not he actually had a door to begin with.
“Kidding,” he added with a dumb smile, in case it had not been already obvious to the mouse, who, admittedly, might be getting nervous again if his current rap sheet was any indicator. “That only applies to you,” he adjoined playfully.
To be honest, it had stunned Mew to find the smaller demon at his door. He would have supposed that being stuck in a smaller room with any one of the seven apprehended devils would be unspeakable for Amos. Meu took it as another good sign in favor of his approach to the Prince’s lackey. Nonetheless, he was at the door and not necessarily within the confines of the Greed's tiny nest here. So, almost as if he wanted to avoid shattering his perceived reality, Mew walked up to the guard to offer him the list before he found Amos not actually feeling comfortable in coming any further.
In the same breath, though, Myut turned to the side to invite the guard in, "If you have any questions, don't let me keep you from taking a seat." He offered, should the sentry wish to discuss anything. Mew would insist should the other want to talk about his things - unless the blonde didn't mind Meu getting nice and close and personal to whisper to him. The Greed demon was not interested in having any eavesdroppers for his personal business, after all.

"Forgive the intrusion," Amos replied, smiling slightly as the other grinned at him. He was having a little trouble getting a read on this demon--he was a bit more enigmatic than he'd expected. Though, perhaps that made sense, since naturally the greed demon was very interested in getting his things back.
He wouldn't tell him that there was a surveillance array eating up all but the smallest shreds of their privacy.
He took the paper Myut handed him, scanning it for a moment. Neat, elegant script, but lacking in a little detail. He'd need to be precise and careful in his investigation to make sure nothing was swept under the rug on a technicality.
When the other invited him in, turning slightly to the side, the calculation was clear on the Pride demon's face. Would it be safe? The reactions from the others, and the reaction from this demon as well, had told him that Myut was telling the truth about the theft. In that case, this olive-eyed demon served the least threat to him for the time being. He seemed clever enough to not bite the hand that fed him. Putting more space between himself and the other little monsters, though, that might be wise.
So Amos entered the room, leaning against Myut's desk. "I'd like some more details about what you're missing. Identifying marks, imperfections, unique characteristics. Anything that could prevent someone else from claiming they just so happened to have another just like it," he said, sweeping his eyes over the paper one more time.
Then, they lifted to meet the other's. "My plan is to verify your items are yours, then hold them safely for you until you're free to go. To prevent...theft from your peers." It had been logged that the sloth demon had gone snooping in the night, and he didn't trust the two little ones to keep their hands to themselves either. Additionally, this could provide some incentive to get the greed demon to act. The suspicion on him was mostly either in line with a greed demon's character, based on the testimony they'd wrested from other demons, or coincidental, in his interactions with the little one.
Either way, he was fairly sure that a demon that was only interested in his own horde would bother with harassing the one demon that could completely obliterate his territory. He seemed smarter than that.

Meu watched, terribly pleased, when Amos sidled on over deeper into his den, taking a position against his desk. The taller Greed followed soon after him, listening as the other explained that he did indeed have a couple of questions. The white-haired demon nodded thoughtfully as he pulled his desk chair around, settling into it and resting his arms crisscrossed over the headrest, looking up at Amos with that charming, fanged grin of his. He was impressed. Amos was making sure to cover all his bases and it showed that he was serious about Myut’s request. This was exactly what he needed from Amos – to ask questions and show how willing he was to work together with the Greed. He liked this very much. Amos was a competent worker, no wonder the Prince kept him in such a rank.
While not particularly appeased by the fact that the Mouse would be holding onto his things, he ultimately understood why. And far better for it to be in the guard-he-knew’s possession than that of whom he didn’t. It didn’t keep him from feeling frustrated inside, though. But Meu kept his facial features serene, only letting it be known by the light rapping of his fingers against the wood of the chair’s headrest. It meant he saw what Amos was doing, and he wanted Amos to know that he knew. “Very well,” he agreed. It’s not like Mew had the wiggle room to argue a better position for himself anyway.
The Greed held out a half-cupped hand to the Pride, giving a slight tilt of his chin in meaning toward the paper the guard held. He’d make the amendments to the paper he had already given him. It would be easier to have fewer pieces of paper to look after, and Meu didn’t give things out easily – even his note paper.

Bezabelle thought she had heard something out in the main room. The tinkling of plates, the rattling of a certain metal cart, even the low tones of voices. Still, it took her longer than she would have liked to get to the doorway to peek out. Oh! Their guard had come back. And even more delicious, only Meu was currently with the Mouse. Bez was already plotting the best way to squeeze maximum enjoyment out of this scenario.
Amos kept scanning the room, wary, and Bez kept having to duck her head back to keep from being spotted. Amos seemed rather paranoid. Bez was amused as she wondered if she may be the cause. She was definitely part of it, right?
Then, after a bit more circling the table and a few murmured words, the cart and, sadly, the painting were pushed out of the room. Amos did not leave with them. Ohhh, what was this? Bez could smell an opportunity for more fun, especially as Amos moved to Meu's room and stepped inside. Bez wasted no time in creeping across the room to peek into Meu's room.
This was too good! The two of them were at Meu's desk, heads together, looking down at something. Her imagination could definitely fill the gaps that reality wasn't fulfilling yet. She bit at her lip to try to stop herself. After all, this could develop even further given a little time! However, the words popped out quicker than she wanted. She couldn't resist!
"Ah, what do we have here~! Meu meu! didn't you just say you weren't planning on making a move with our little guard here? " she pouted, moving to block the doorway. "Look at you two, so intimately huddled together! Did I interrupt that kiss you were planning? And more importantly, when can I join the fun?"
She sauntered toward the pair, the sway of her hips accenting the seductive teasing of her words.

It took only a moment for Amos to catch his meaning to hand over the parchment. Quick lad. A momentary flash of consideration sparked through Meu’s mind, to which he indulged for the spirit of inquiry’s sake. Fingertips brushed lightly against fingertips as Mew otherwise confidently took the paper from Amos. He wanted to see what the little guard would do – would he recoil, or was he more comfortable with the Greed now? Was their Mouse curious as well? How much meaning should he give behind testing around with the little blonde? It was a novel curiosity, to be sure.
In any case, Mew hid any signs of intentionality, watching the Pride out of the corner of his eye for a moment or two before focusing on the given task of filling out more details. Quietude settled once more upon the room save for the scratch of the pen tip.
Or it did until a certain nosy little minx appeared and casually threw a handful of wrenches into the plan.
An exasperated little frown tugged at both his lips and his hand, the pen coming to a sudden halt. Why was she being so insistent on this idea that he was interested in Amos? Well, he was, but not necessarily in the way she was seductively insinuating. Normally it might be good harmless fun, but every time Bezabelle appeared like this it threatened to scare off the guard permanently.
“Bezabelle,” he chided disapprovingly, leaning back from the headrest to gaze calmly at the doorway where she stalked. Well, he also did want to know what Amos’ reaction to that would be, but the Greed had no intention of losing his quarry for the sake of a potentially flustered guard. “Yes, I also ‘just said’ that I would be needing to handle some personal matters with him.”
“You are interrupting,” he confirmed, crossing his arms, tone low and unyielding, but not overtly hostile. He intoned in such a way as to address her vaguely - he simply did not acknowledge her lure.

While he didn't necessarily recoil from the touch, Amos withdrew his hand quickly after Myut brushed it with his own, casually sliding it into his pocket instead. He shifted his weight to peer over the paper as the greed demon continued to write, close enough that he could hear him breathing softly over the quiet scratching of the pen.
Perhaps he'd let his guard down a little, watching the other write and considering his plans for the future, but the still moment was abruptly crumpled by the intrusion of a third.
Amos nearly jumped out of his skin when another voice sounded, his head whipping around to see who was quickly becoming the bane of his existence. His first instinct was to grab Myut's wrist, as if stopping him from writing would make her stop talking, but he just as quickly let go, as if scalded by the contact, and shifted a few paces away from the greed demon, though he was equally loath to get closer to the gluttony demon at the door.
He frowned at Bezzabelle as Myut spoke, but he had nothing to add. It wasn't any of her business what they were up to anyway.
He cast his eyes in Myut's direction, then at the door, making clear his desire to flee posthaste, before the little demon had a chance to cause more chaos.
Myut seemed to understand, because he intercepted the demon and Amos took that as an excellent opportunity to flee. In his haste, he forgot about the paper they had just been pouring over so diligently.

Meu was just a touch grouchy, his arms crossed as the scolding continued. Bezzabelle reveled in it. Especially as Amos started, backing away almost guiltily. How delicious!
"Oh Amos," Bez teased. "I could just eat you up," She said with a wink, halfway between a friendly joke and a full on attempt at seduction. She still stayed in his path as she caught the motion of his eyes toward the door, pausing at just the right moment to block off exit short of crossing her arms bodily over the door. She did not want him to escape that easily!
"So, trying to gain some sort of advantage over our dear Myut, hmm? I suppose I can understand, given your unfortunate little 'family' situation, no?"
