>"I still think we just burn it down, then hit them when they are distracted dealing with it, or afterward when its gone and they're homeless. It'll just take good planning."
>"Too much risk for not enough reward. I admit, Greed is extremely intelligent and crafty. If he was on our side, I have no doubt he would have ideas that would not occur to any of us. But I believe the most practical thing to do would be to leave him where he is. The others outside the book can retreive him at their leisure, assuming Tsumiko wants him back at all."
>"Actually. Couldn't we just appeal to his, uh, sense of greed with the fakeness of it all? I mean, one real coin's better than all the fake stuff in the world."
>"To you and I, yes. But Greed doesn't see things the way you and I do. He is more than just mindless avarice, yes, but desire is still his primary drive. He craves like others breathe. This place, this book, gives him something he'd never have normally: Everything he ever wanted at his fingertips, just for the asking. In our world, he'd always be limited, either by Tsumiko or whoever else he was possessing at the time. This place has no limits."
>"Yes it does." Aya cuts in. "It does have limits. US. WE'RE limits to the power of this book. It has to put time and effort into us, and that's less time it can give to Greed." She grins that irritatingly smug grin of hers. "We can have it both ways. If Hatate can convince him to help us get out, then he'd have the book all to himself. Well yeah, he'd still have to share it with Ran, Alice and Marisa, but that wasn't a problem before."
>"Wait a minute." Momiji says. "Why Hatate?"
>Aya folds her arms. "Well, it was her idea."
