[Although most of this 'friends actually care about you and might ACTUALLY REACT POORLY when you are in trouble' stuff is a little over his head, Wrath knows from an existence devoted to secrets and lies that telling everybody the kind of... business that his old team had carried out to GET HIM AVAILABLE FOR TALKING TO might not be the best idea.]
[Still, he's awful at lying. He gets all squirmy.]
And oh.
I think I remember someone talking about holly-days once.
[HE JUST KIND OF. WIGGLES UNHAPPILY IN HIS SEAT. 8( 8( 8((((]
[He doesn't want to lie... and even if Jimmy's not mad at him, he's still upset, and Wrath is actually starting to really not like it when people are upset.]
I... I... I just didn't have it. I didn't know where it was.
[It's not a lie! He really didn't! He has no idea where Envy and the others kept it while he was down there.]

Wrath, what's going on? Cause this all sounds real fishy, buddy. It's okay, I'm not mad at you or anything. I just wanna know what's going down.
