Maru was quiet for a short while, just thinking...
When he finally spoke, he did so with his eyes closed. His head was tipped back to rest against the edge of the onsen, he looked relaxed... but he was a little tense as well.
"I... I wasn't always the way I am. I used to be human. I was born in England... I remember hills. That much I remember..." He started slowly, softly. "... I was made into a Servamp. I was an experiment, I think.. it was so long ago, I don't know how it all happened. But I was the first." Or the first success at least. "... Six others came after that. There were Seven of us. Seven sins. I was Sloth..."
He took a breath and then started to list of his siblings. "Pride, Old Child. Envy, Doubt Doubt... Wrath, The Mother. Greed, Lawless. Gluttony, World End... and Lust, All of Love... My name was Sleepy Ash... We all have nicknames to go with those. Mine was The Silent Demise... We all have a name given to us by our Eve. So..." He opened his eyes briefly to look over at Madoka, the corner of his lips lifted in a small smile. "My name is Maru now."
"It was only supposed to be the seven of us. But there was an eighth none of us knew about. He was... annoying. Tsubaki, the Servamp of Melancholy. He hated us. He hated me... He wanted to kill us all. And he could have, would have... But we stopped him."
