[Closed] I have an offer you can't refuse.

Nanashi was expecting a visitor. She had realized earlier that she might have met with a very fortunate circumstance, having met Greed earlier on the comms.

Now with her campaign clearly not gaining any ground and the knowledge that Greed had a rather similar goal to her own but a very different way of achieving his ends, she had realized a brilliant way that Greed's plan could work to her advantage.

Not to mention he had turned her down before for no good reason. No one denied her without good reason.

Unfortunately the homunculus had insisted that he was not making any promises.

That did not mean she would not be upset if he did not show up.

So she sat on her bed with her arms folded in front of her while she tapped her foot impatiently.

Greed meandered down the corridor, hands stuck in the pockets of his coat. After thinking about it, he decided it probably wouldn't hurt to check this out. He couldn't turn down a potential possession, after all, especially with the overall lack of luck he'd been having here.

So, following the directions she gave him, he made his way to what he was told was the correct door. He pulled a hand out and knocked.

"Eugh, even that's kinda squishy..." he muttered to himself.

Nanashi counted slowly to two, keeping herself from answering too fast. She didn't want to scare him off.

It did not seem to occur to her that wearing just her dress- with it's hip-high slits- with only just underwear was, while blatantly seductive, also a great way to scare someone off.

She walked to the door from her bed in no more than a stride, and opened it a crack to see who was standing there. Yes, it looked much like the Greed Ed had shown her, and so she stepped back with a smile and held her arm out in a gesture for him to enter.

"Come in, please. Sit down, make yourself comfortable," she said, her voice soft and velvety. In fact, it sounded eerily close to Lust's voice, perhaps with a little more importance to each word and slightly smoother 's's.

Over-all she actually bore a close resemblance, with her curves and her pale skin and black hair- even if her hair was pin straight and flowed to her ankles. Her eyes too were different, as blue as glaciers. Also different from Lust, her dress had straps on the shoulders, a part of the same cloth as the rest of the dress, that held it up, and around her waist was a belt, triple wrapped around her waist that usually held her swords.

Greed raises his eyebrows a bit when she answers. He's definitely noticed how she's dressed, and the similarities to his "sister" were fairly apparent as well.

He pauses in the doorway for a moment before cracking a small grin and walking inside. His hands are in pockets again, and he strides confidently, looking around the room with interest. He wasn't really seeing a lot he thought would be worth his interest at the moment, but considering he took the time to come here he could hear her out.

He takes a seat, resting his cheek on his fist. "So, what's this about?"

Nanashi closed the door behind him and locked it. She did not want anyone walking in on them, even though it was rare for someone to enter her room. Nanashi took a seat on the desk she had brought up from the house she had turned into a training studio.

She crossed her legs, leaning back on her arms. She tilted her head a bit to the side, but her face was stern. She bit her lip. This was going to hurt- hurt her ego that is.

"When we talked on the comms, you said I would work for you. I laughed it off, however now I believe you are correct." She leaned forward, clearly showing of her cleavage, "I will let me use me as you see fit, so long as you keep our relationship quiet. Even my strategical skills are at your disposal. I can help you manoeuvre through the levels of power so that this ship becomes yours. And that does not include the... other ways I may service you."

He frowned a bit questioningly at her for a few moments, but suddenly he burst out laughing.

"Really?" he replied with a grin, though his tone made it hard to tell if he fully believed this or not. "That's quite the interesting bargain. You have that much influence here, huh?"

Nanashi slid off the desk and moved to Greed's side, letting her fingers trail gently across his shoulders. "I am quickly gaining influence, but it is not I who will be gaining the most influence in this bargain but you." Telling someone else the power he would have at the cost of her own was killing her, and she let the slightest bit of that show just to make her offer the more convincing.

With one arm around his shoulder she let her long finger nails travel from his chest, up to the side of his neck, and then to his chin, "With a little patience and my skill in manipulating people, I am sure I can boost you. If I win the Captain's seat, you can control this ship even sooner, since we will have access to more vital information- like just how damaged the ships systems are. Once we know this we can use this all to your advantage." She had already been speaking softly, but the last words were spoken soft as a whisper as she let her lips brush against his ear, her upper body pressed softly against his.

Greed followed her with his eyes without showing any other signs of movement. He thinks for a moment before responding, his grin still lingering on his face. He definitely was interested, though it was still very hard to tell just what intrigued him the most.

"Yeah?" he said, also lowering his voice just a bit. "And what if you don't win?"

"I work my way into the ranks of the members of the Strategy team. I play my part," she said as she dragged her nails back down his neck to his collar undoing the top button so quickly it seemed like she merely pressed against it, "helping in battle preparations, and finding whatever information I can get my hands on, while making 'friends' to ensure a win next election." She undid the next button, her finger nail trailing across his skin, "You can use that power however you would like. You can consult me on how to most efficiently get anything done. If you want it, I will make it yours."

This plan better at least get her a night with this guy or she would be so very angry.

He still remained motionless for the most part. She could take that however she would. "I'm impressed you could come up with a plan like that."

He moves his face toward hers just an inch, his smirk becoming a bit more serious. "But I don't consult. I'm the one in charge."

She bit her tongue. She could not believe she was about to say this. She popped open another button and pressed against him more, "Yes, master."

She had said it. She felt like scraping off the top of her tongue for allowing those words to pass her lips. No, she had to just deal with it. Ignore Kano telling her that he always knew she'd make a better servant. She wouldn't ruin it now by making Greed think she was crazy.

Now was the time to get in her one stipulation, or she would regret not mentioning it later, "The one thing I wish, is that you keep our relationship secret. This way I can work for you even better. You have announced your plans to take over the ship, so people will be watching you carefully. They shall not be watching my actions as closely, allowing me to be able to do more for you."

That's right, just keep talking about for him, but remember this is all for yourself. As he gains power, so will you. When he takes over the ship, it will be as good as yours.

He merely chuckled a bit at her response. One look at his face would tell anyone that the gears were turning.

"Huh, so that's what you think..." Greed responded with a quality that almost made it sound like he doubted something. He finally moves his hands, putting the tips of his fingers together just at the level of his mouth.

"You got one thing right. Working for me means everything stays in the shadows." He leans his head back a little. "But the skills you've got make things a little different..."

He pauses. "As long as you're gonna keep this a secret, I won't say anything about it. I still expect you to be completely loyal. Think you can handle that without any regrets?" His final statement was just below sounding like a taunt.

He barely even reacted to her calling him master. She knew he was arrogant, but he seemed to expect even that. This guy... He was too much like her. Thank the Great Dragon that she knew she could use him. He was a calculator like her, but he didn't seem to be nearly as analytical, as mistrusting. Still, she would have to be careful.

She popped open the last few buttons of his shirt and swung her leg over his so that she was half standing over his lap with her hands on either shoulder. She leaned forward, with her mouth by his ear, "I can be completely loyal to a handsome man like you with ease." She pulled back, the grey of her eyes practically sparkling like icicles caught in the light. With a small laugh she added, "I am a killer queen. I do not know the meaning of 'regret'."

Of course, this was a lie, but it was not like she wasn't at least partially truthful. It was rather hard to get her to regret her actions. Plus, the deal was as good as sealed. She was not regretting this yet, and would not regret it if it played into her plans properly.
