"If you're stressed you could always try baking, beating dough into submission supposedly helps a lot."

Forgive me for the country music, but I couldn’t help bringing this song to light.

-Alpha- Ling: After meeting this male counterpart to Princess Lin, Lady Avarice became almost immediately enamored with the man and has since become incredibly attached to him (she is still Greed, after all). Lady Avarice may feel like he’s a kindred spirit, having that sense of loss about him. She may also feel this way because of the sense of nostalgia she gets over her own lost friend. Whatever the reason, she enjoys being around this man and is determined to do so as often as possible. She’s also become protective, showing concern for his health and safety. She is willing to use the full force of her combat skills and her ultimate shield  if need be. Should the man decide to go back to his homeland, she would follow him without question to ensure she remains close to him. Once Ling became aware of how deep her feelings for him ran, he admitted to Avara that he returned her sentiment and they have since become nearly inseparable, apart from a recent separation. For a time, Ling deliberately separated himself from Lady Avarice, taking with him the philosopher’s stone that had won him the country of Xing. In an act who’s weight and meaning Lady Avarice cannot find proper words to express, the man relinquished his humanity, becoming a homunculus and forsaking his country and the throne so that the two of them could make a life together. Since his return, the two have been enjoying a happy, if somewhat chaotic life together, with plans to become wandering nomads. Avara dotes on Ling whenever possible, and will even prepare meals without much complaint, despite her professed distaste for work. Even during times when they find themselves separated, Avara remains confident in that either he will return to her side, or she will track him down. The two are incredibly protective of each other, and a threat to one is seen as a threat to both of them. And a threat to someone that one of them has befriended garners the wrath of both. It’s not a good situation to find oneself in. In fact they seem to act like a pair of alpha wolves in some respects, with their collection of friends and adopted animals serving as their “pack”.
