Late in this LOOOONG day of Pain and Punishment, Envy and Pire are in Hina's room, Envy curled around a pillow under her bed, occasionally whimpering to himself and wishing his head would just STOP ringing, already!, when there is a knock at teh door, which Pire goes to answer--
Envy, from under teh bed--"Tell them to go AWAY!!!"
And Pire DOES try, but Stampers just pushes RIGHT PAST him and comes into teh room, holding a small, prettily-wrapped package--she peeks under teh bed at teh snivelling humonculus and states--
"I have a lil' something FOR you, Envy--are-ya' gonna' come OUT from there and GET it...or do I hafta' COME UNDER THERE AND
DRAG ya' OUT like some BAD LIL' VA!?"
Envy, his eyes HUGE at teh terrifying thought of being TRAPPED in such a small space with teh "Devil-Bitch", reluctantly crawls out from under teh bed, deciding he'd rather face his Doom standing up, at least....
Stampers thrusts out teh package at him--making both him AND Pire *Flinch!*--and says, rather apologetically(!?)--
"Here, this is for YOU, Envy.....and I'm SORRY for earlier--hope I didn't stretch out yer' favorite pair o' undies TOO MUCH in teh process......"
Envy looks at teh pretty "gift" rather suspiciously, while Pire inches towards teh door........
"It's not gonna' EXPLODE or anything, IS it!?" he asks, gingerly giving it a poke with one finger--
"NOPE, I
PROMISE-ya' it's PERFECTLY SAFE--I'll even stand NEXT to ya' while ya' unwrap it, to prove it!"
So....Envy slowly unwraps teh gift, thinking,
"Well, at LEAST I'll be taking her WITH me....!"---------and is HAPPILY SURPRISED at what he sees INSIDE!!!
"It's...it's...teh REST of teh "Weekly" set of undies!!" he exclaims, joyfully, then showing them to Pire--"LOOKIE!!! Now I have teh COMPLETE SET of ALL Seven Days of teh WEEK!!!"
He suddenly STOPS in mid-rejoice and staring at Stampers, asks--
"But......WHY!? Why did you do such a nice thing for.....for ME!?"
She smiles at him, NOT an "evil" smile, but a GENUINE one--"Because, like I mentioned, I'm SORRY for what I did to you earlier, Envy--And, because if MAES is willing to forgive you, then who am I to NOT!?"
She then gives teh still gaping with surprise humonculus a warm hug, and starts to leave--
"Enjoy, Envy, Dear....."
Envy, sitting down on teh bed with a *THUMP!* says softly--"If I can't understand them, how am I EVER gonna' BE a Human again.....?"
Pire, looking thru' teh set, exclaims after Stampers--"HEY! How cum' "Saturday" is a NEW pair, HUH!? My Envy PREFERS them "broken in", ya' KNOW!"
Stamper hesitates just long enough to smile crookedly and explain--"Um..........Well, I was WEARING that pair teh night of 'Kat and Sesshy's Pre-Wedding Party and well.......er......I-could-never-FIND-them-teh-next-morning.......*A-HEH!* 'Bye!"
