Greed scrabbled at the floor, realizing on top of it all that although his shoulder was in far better shape than it had been the last time he'd been conscious, it was throbbing with some vestigial ache from the injury. Homunculi weren't supposed to ache.
But then again, homunculi also weren't supposed to be in a disgraceful mess on the floor while some double-crossing slimebag stood over them and laughed.
Greed's fleshy palms pressed against the floor faster than his weakened shield could cover them, and though his violet eyes narrowed in the wake of the mocking light, the taunt did more to anger him than it did to hinder him.
"So can I," the homunculus growled in response to the slight, shoving himself up despite his lack of balance and glaring at his quarry. Although he still wasn't solid on his feet, his hands were finally covered in black carbon, tense as they hung at his sides and he began to grin again.

He lunged.
