[He's not even going to pretend that this isn't a hit. He is mad enough that consequences don't matter.]
Can you help me with someone? Kikimora. Very small. Not human. She took my damned tooth and threatened me because I fought back. I didn't even do anything!
Jacobi doubts very much that getting him through the communicators is going to work. So he has to resort to actually getting up and finding him.
He takes a bit of tracking to find, but Jacobi eventually comes up on him. "Hey. I'm your temp, how fun, very exciting, do you want to help me with a project? It involves explosives, though."
Envy, mid-lurk, turns without much interest. He doesn't really feel like fighting with a temp, especially a stubborn one. And his lack of interest in any but his most immediate humans leaves him without the remotest sense of which one this is. "I'm probably under some admiral interdict where I'll turn into jelly if I touch explosives," he says, hoping to nip this innovative enthusiasm in the bud.
First of all, I'll be up front: I'm headed out at the end of the month. That said? I'm not zipping off half-cocked or skipping out on making sure someone's looking out for you.
So.
Is there anything you see me being able to do for you right now and for the next couple of weeks?
And.
Is there anyone in particular you'd like to be looked out for by after I've departed? I have a few guesses and options I'd prefer but I'm not going to be here and I don't want to set you up for trouble.
[Envy usually ignores wardens, but he's in a slightly fey mood lately.]
You know every single one of you tries this? The casual, self-effacing, just in case you need something thing? Do you all think it's unique? Do you expect I'm going to respond differently than to the dozen before?
[The answer is slow in coming. He considers just ignoring it. He considers that for some time. But that might mean having a Belmont blundering around. And he is absolutely not up to that. Better to be to the point and boring.]
In the interest of halting any possible revenge cycles, if you have the desire to kill me for having killed you, I would be willing to kill myself such that you can have the satisfaction of my death and a week of suffering but without any possible repercussions to you or to what relationship you may still have with Johann.
I have no interest in ruining what friendship you have with him. Nor in continued hostilities.
If I cared, I wouldn't have walked into the really obvious trap. Try to have a plan for the door next time. It's little stuff like that that gets people's hackles up.
[Overall, Sanzo puts his plan down as 'successful', which certainly doesn't harm his mood. He takes the time to read Envy's file, before going looking for his new-old inmate.
He doesn't bother to try to contact Envy on his communicator. Even if he picked up - which seemed unlikely - Sanzo wants to talk in person, so there's no point in adding an extra step.
Instead, he simply follows his warden item to wherever Envy might be at the moment.]
Envy's in a common room on a sofa, appearing to do something like napping.
It isn't, quite, but he's determined he can sort of abstract his mind and
doze to deal with this new phenomenon of being tired sometimes. He can also
use furniture without the usual creaks and pops, which he's not terribly
aware of but is good news for the couch. He doesn't do more than flutter
his eyes open at the sound of approaching steps. This particular warden.
Sure, fine.
After the normal (even if slightly less normal in terms of who was behind the curse) amount of trouble and various rounds of discussion on the network that Sanzo has no interest in participating in, Sanzo hunts down his inmate.
During the curse, he'd managed to stagger over to check what he was doing, but it had looked harmless enough and so he'd left him to talk to no one, duty, such as it is, done. That same duty is what propels him today, following his warden item at a casual pace.
He eventually locates Envy in a corner of the library, where he's sitting improbably on the edge of a shelf. Not even on top, just precariously balanced on the few inches of flimsy wood where he found whatever book he's paging through. He's a lousy researcher, honestly. He never had to really learn the trick. But he's figuring it out a bit at a time.
As is often the case, he has no response whatsoever to his warden's presence.

Sure.
