Nah, no twin brother. [Please, like he'd be related to Ling of all people.

But anyway. He'll try a different tactic. He puts an arm around Kurt's shoulder as if they're old pals going way back. He pokes a finger at Kurt's chest.]

Listen, you seem like a good kid. In ten - twenty years, probably a great captain. But do you really think you've got what it takes to command this group? Sure some of them are spineless children, but some of them will murder you on a dime. I should know, having been threatened by one already.

[digthefuzz]

You still look exactly the same. [The arm over his shoulder - Ling did that too, but now it's significantly weirder coming from this Greed too. He does look worried for a moment, but then he thinks it over, as he tries to shrug out of Greed's hold.]

I... I think you're just exaggerating. I know some of these people, and they'd never try to hurt me.

[avaricious]

[Nope. Greed keeps Kurt in a tight grip and tries to force-lead him into a 'friendly' walk through the ship.]

You'd think that, wouldn't you? But look at me. [As a demonstration, he lets his other hand become covered in a hardened skin which makes his fingers more like claws.] Even I'm more dangerous than I look. So why bother with all the stress of command?

[digthefuzz]

[Wow. That certainly is something! Like Wolverine but someone even more deadly-looking. ...And decidedly not on his side. He gulps as he glances at him.]

Y-you know... Now it almost sounds like you're the one with the threats...

[avaricious]

[Greed's hand turns to normal and he uses the now normal hand to pat Kurt on the chest in that friendly way that best friends probably do.]

Nah, that's not me. You think I'd cut you through just because you're in the way? I'm a lot of things, but I'm not that. I just want what's best for both of us.

[digthefuzz]

[He flinches as he's patted on the chest. And then gives a soft, unsure laugh.]

Good to know? Well, um... I think I get your point.

[avaricious]

[Greed grins, gives Kurt's shoulder one last squeeze and lets him go.]

I'll give you time to think it over. I'm sure you'll make the right call.

[digthefuzz]

R-right. [A nervous laugh.] I'll sleep on it! [And hustle into another room as quickly as he can manage.]
