[the hood goes entirely dark, almost as if greed closed their eyes.]
Balance with the other participants. Or perhaps start with other Avatars such as Envy, Sloth or Lust. Those three are more than willing to be sociable.
[it's a combination of the earnest nature, the inability to take no for an answer, and what he's asking that makes it hard for greed to answer. there isn't much of a tell in their face thanks to the hood, but their claws seem to curl inward toward their palm.]
Ask those questions of three others first. Then I'll consider an answer.
[it's okay because whatever greed is bad at, mineo is worse]
Oh... yeah. [a beat] ... I wanna see her again. I've gotta see her graduate, and grow up, and get her first job, and wait until she's thirty to fall in love.
[MINEO,]
I've been thinking about that stuff a lot lately, I guess.
Yeah - are they both immortal or something, and the rest of you aren't? [that's his guess, but - ] Well, that's just my guess anyway. I still wanna talk to the rest of you.
That's true....
I guess I like the people even more than the stuff - which is kinda weird? I thought everyone was pretty prickly at first.
No. You would have to ask Envy more about their view of death seeing how Sloth has given you theirs. I'm sure a few of the others will be pleased to speak with you.
[they're likely to be more friendly than greed, at least.]
And your impressions now are what? [what have you observed about people, mineo?]

But I mean... that doesn't mean we can't try to get along, right?
no subject
no subject
hence why his next questions are]
Can I ask about your family? Friends? Hobbies?
no subject
I would like to know how this will benefit you.
no subject
[just as a general rule]
And I wanna get to know you. Can't do that if I don't ask questions.
[BOTH]

... Shi-san has a brother. They're pretty busy, but she likes when she gets to see him even if it's not always fun and games.
Endorsi has a friend that meant a lot to her! So she's doing everything she can to see him again.
Aaaand - [he's trying to think of someone's hobbies] Oh! Molly-san's really into the card thing!
[and then he looks hopeful, like those three facts he's already collected are good enough to unlock Greed's lore!!]
no subject
...if you want to find answers you cannot stop at superficial facts. Evidence presented always deserves a second look.
no subject
Come on, some of these are pretty good, I thought...
At least one answer from you? Traaaade?
no subject
I don't have any. Family, that is.
[there, they traded, sharing time over.]
no subject
[he tilts his head before nodding, not pushing too much further]
Hmm... Well, I'll trade you. I've got a little sister! She's tiny though. Super tiny. So small.
[how tiny, mineo]
no subject
An infant? [this sounds somewhat dry but also. mineo?]
no subject
[this is just how all older siblings talk about their siblings - but he actually grins a little]
Eleven years my junior. She just started middle school - she's soooo cute. If I had my own phone I could show you pics!
[dotING OLDER BROTHER. also greed just didn't ask?]
no subject
I see...another reason for you to get what you came for, I presume.
[of course mineo would have a family to go back to.]
no subject
Oh... yeah. [a beat] ... I wanna see her again. I've gotta see her graduate, and grow up, and get her first job, and wait until she's thirty to fall in love.
[MINEO,]
I've been thinking about that stuff a lot lately, I guess.
no subject
Thinking about them to stay motivated without taking action?
no subject
... Kinda....
Sloth-san asked me if I'm afraid to die. So I guess I've been thinking a lot about that.
[a beat]
It's really deep stuff, especially for me. I didn't think that much about it before.
no subject
What answer did you reach?
no subject
[it surprises him]
Mm.... Yeah. I'm afraid to die. I don't want everything I've done so far to be... it, you know?
Even if I think being here hasn't been totally awful either... [which he sounds like he was surprised to come to that conclusion too]
no subject
[they lean back in their seat.] This base does provide you with everything you could need for the duration of your stay. We aren't inhumane.
