They'd cover up part of the symbol, I think, and Envy made these so I don't want to cut holes either. That's why my wings stay inside, too.

[notaccurate]

The symbol? You mean like this?

[He holds up his hand that has his lust-mark on it.]

[probe]

Yeah, see? [they turn their head to point at the same symbol embroidered on their hood.] But yours is a little different than the one on my hand.

[notaccurate]

Is it like Envy's? Theirs had a rectangle around it and a word.

[probe]

Oh, yeah. [they hold out their hand for luca to examine! lust's symbol looks just like his, but there's an an arrowing piercing through the center.]

See?

[notaccurate]

[He is looking! Does it have any words or tarot card design like Envy's does?]

Why is it different? Because you're the team leader?

[probe]

Probably! [nope! it's just her symbol with an arrow in the center.] That's about all I can figure out at least.

[notaccurate]

I still wonder why we have these in the first place. Are they really necessary?

[probe]

Yes and no. I guess its this place's way of telling you where your real strengths lie to help you indulge a little easier.

[notaccurate]

Ah.

[So this place is telling him that he's a big ho, got it.]

Knowing that, I'm surprised I didn't end up on Wrath or Pride's team.

[probe]

Well, I picked you myself. And knowing how Wrath and Pride are now, don't you think it was a good choice?

[notaccurate]

Oh, definitely. You're my favorite.

[Maybe it's because he talks to them the most though, who knows.]

Wrath and I are...tolerable, I suppose. But I think they might get on my nerves if I talked to them more than I do.

[probe]

Good! [they apparently just want to be a favorite.]

Wrath's great but I can get that they're not for everybody. All I want is for my friends to tolerate my other friends. That's it.

[notaccurate]

[He lets out a huff of a laugh.]

I think we can manage that much, yes.

So, I'm your friend?

[probe]

Yeah. You don't think so?

[notaccurate]

[He hadn't considered it before, but now? He's okay with the idea.

He's smiling warmly as he answers.]

I hadn't thought of it before. But I would like to be friends, yes.

[probe]

[they immediately clap their hands.]

Great! [the thing is, they would have been friends with luca regardless of if luca wanted it or not, so this is just better.] There's still so much we can do together while you're here anyway. It'll be fun.

[notaccurate]

[Wow Lust, forcing him to be friends. How dare.]

I hope you're not going to ask me to go to church. I may have to decline.

[He's teasing, Lust's ideas usually aren't terrible.]

[probe]

No way! The chapel's kinda creepy, so maybe we should just avoid it entirely.

But there's still a lot of other things. We can keep exploring here, or we can go to the garden or we can go get a snack.

[notaccurate]

That depends on what you're thinking of for a snack.

[Croissant]

[probe]

Maybe cupcakes?

[NO MORE CROISSANTS!!!]

[notaccurate]

[I'm wheezing]

Cupcakes would be good, I think. Do you bake?

[probe]

Sometimes! I'm not good at it the way Wrath or some of the others are, but I can follow directions pretty easily.

[notaccurate]

...ah. No wonder Wrath insulted my cake-baking skills.

[probe]

Oh! You apologized to them after all? [they seem very pleased.]
