Snippet #1659949

Ivy didn't take much notice to Devlin's words. Even though he practically never spoke and had been more verbal with Ivy than anyone else so far, she felt like he was just trying to get under her skin. EVERYONE was always trying to get under Ivy's skin. Or rather, that's how she felt. As Ivy continued on her tirade of insults, she couldn't help but glance over repeatedly, while trying extremely hard to maintain her focus on Courage, to Lust, who was purposefully trying to make Ivy jealous by kissing her man-slave. She glared over in her direction as Lust did this and then turned back to Courage, trying to distract herself by continuing conversation with him. "Psh. Yeah. Like I wanna make small talk with a virtue.. you guys are so... so .... " she couldn't help but realize Lust was walking her way. "Oh great here she comes" She thought to herself.

Lust started trying to seduce Ivy, the way she tried with everyone just for attention. "

Ivy dear, your jealously has gotten worse, do not fear" she caressed the girls cheek tauntingly "I shall not leave your side, after all men are nothing compared to you"

"GO AWAY Rosalie" she snapped at her, pushing her away and glaring with her bright green eyes. "And quit being such an asshole to the humans!!!" Ivy was looking down at the man still gawking at Lust's feet. Ivy knelt down, grabbed his chin, and forced his gaze to Ivy's green eyes. "Get out of here." she commanded, her voice billowing in a magical echo, even though she was practically whispering. The command struck the human's brain and reverberated throughout his entire body; it was extremely easy to control this man as his mind had already been stripped of its defenses by Lust's magic. "Leave this mountain and walk back to your village, or family, or wherever you're from. Once you get there, don't remember any of this." The commands hit him one after the other. When Ivy was done, she stood back up, and so did the human. Assuming a practically zombie-like state, the human turned around and began walking out of the temple.

She looked back over at Lust disapprovingly; in her look it was visible that this was one of the rare moments where Envy acted completely out of her regular personality and not out of jealousy. She didn't have too many of those.. but Ivy often found that she was in a constant internal struggle to actually be a better person, despite her status as a Sin, and despite her massive amounts of natural jealousy.

Suddenly, Ivy's gaze shifted completely to the girl who entered... she recognized her instantly. It was Faith. Suddenly Ivy's mood changed. She became very quiet and withdrawn. Faith scared Ivy. She wasn't sure why... Ivy knew she had strong jealousy toward her, but there was something more than that. She almost felt as though Amalia was the exact opposite of herself, which may have been why her presence was so unsettling to Ivy. She could also tell right away that while all of the people Ivy had tried to insult had not been offended in the least, Faith was feeling it for all of them. And that bothered Ivy. She felt guilty. She felt sorry... so she just began scurrying over to a large pillar in the room they were in and tried to stay as close to it as possible, as if attempting to melt into the stones and become invisible.
