[The rush of cool air where there had just seconds ago been a sweltering heat left Edward light-headed for a moment. He blinks twice and breathes out a long, slow breath he hadn't even realize he'd held--well, he'd certainly stuck his foot in it now, hadn't he? Ed hadn't lied about regretting this choice, but this road wasn't going to be a nice one. Entertaining, probably, but not nice.]
[His eyes stay locked with the sin's own for several moments before he remembers the glass still in his hand. With another sigh he knocks it back, draining the half-filled glass with a grimace before setting it back down. The bottle he keeps hold of, carefully stoppered back up for later and held close to the chest. His eyes follow Greed's movements, note the keyring with interest.]
Even if I didn't, you wouldn't let me forget, would you? [No, he knows who has the proverbial leash on his new collar, who it is he answers to now. Oddly it doesn't chafe as much as the old, not yet, but then the bargain has only just been struck. There's still plenty of time for the friction to build. No sense in inviting any of it sooner than needed.]
[When the key is tossed his way he snatches it out of the air easily, and he looks it over for a moment while Greed talks. Old, broken, but still useable...there should be a joke about fitting locks here, but he can't think of it. Gold eyes flick back up, and Ed smirks as he pockets the key.] Nah, I think I got it from here.
[He turns and heads back to the door, taking that as a dismissal for the moment. He pauses before opening it though, looking at the demon with an honest, real smile.] Thanks.
