Is he not still?

[auguryofinnocence]

You mean how he avoids me and can't even speak to me? Or that he runs in to stop me? Perhaps the way he either could not tell "V" was obviously me, or else chose not to acknowledge it and purposefully avoided speaking to me any more than he deemed strictly necessary? Oh yes, of course.

[temperedinpride]

Do you expect him to be better at his emotions than you? The man had to be drunk to admit he loved you and wanted to be your brother and missed you.

And what did you do when you panicked and realized you liked me? It certainly wasn't to run to my arms.

[auguryofinnocence]

[

Yes he did expect Dante to be better at emotions? He's the good twin, the more human one?? ...Right??]

Oh.

[temperedinpride]

He's incredibly stupid, Vergil.

[auguryofinnocence]

I know that, I ended up with all the brains.

[Citation needed]

[temperedinpride]

Then stop holding him to a higher standard than your own emotional competence. You might even be better at it than him now, I'll take some credit if so.

[auguryofinnocence]

.....I...suppose I must be...

[What the fuck?

His brain is broken?]

...What were we talking about?

[temperedinpride]

Let's see... How your brother loves you. Wants your attention, probably hasn't changed much more than you did you were children, except he is even more of an idiot about telling you he wants you to play with him.

I believe that was it.

[auguryofinnocence]

...Right...

[He doesn't know what to do with this??? He's just silent for a few moments, shocked and confused.]


I have changed plenty, though, you know.

[Does even he believe that? Not really?]

[temperedinpride]

In many ways. But in others?

I am not saying you haven't matured, nor am I trying to negate the experiences that have shaped you. But do you think the fundamentals of who you are are so drastically different?

[auguryofinnocence]

No... No, I am well aware. With how often I feel childish for thinking the same way, when I have returned to the same interests. ...I don't even know why I bothered to say it.

[temperedinpride]

Then why would you presume Damte to be different? Because he lived with humans? His only evolution seems to be hiding his feelings behind a shameless untouchability.

[auguryofinnocence]

[Holy Shit My Brother Has Depression? This might be the first time he's realising Dante has some actual issues? Some bad things also happened to him weirdly enough?? It's weird. And upsetting.]

...Oh.

[temperedinpride]

[This just shows how much of a character arc Vergil has had? He takes his hand and laces their fingers.]

He is infuriating. But not for the reasons you've been thinking. You should certainly step on his face and stab him, but only to get him to admit he missed you and has been lonely.

[auguryofinnocence]

[Empathy for Dante: the final boss of emotional competency]

I will have to stab him twice as much. ...He did look happy in Hell.

[What does it say that his ideal, romanticized situation that they're using for a honeymoon is also kinda what he's doing with his brother? Don't worry about it! Everybody shut up!]

[temperedinpride]

Perhaps what you want is what he wants too.

[Maybe have a honeymoon with your brother ig.]

[auguryofinnocence]

[guess they already did??]

I had thought he was mocking me about that.

[temperedinpride]

You are ever sensitive when it comes to him. But what did he say?

[auguryofinnocence]

When you got him drunk and brought him to my door. He said something about wanting to get along. ...To not have a wall between us, I think it was.

[temperedinpride]

And you disbelieved him at the time?

[auguryofinnocence]

...Shut up. I couldn't trust him then.

[temperedinpride]

And now?

[auguryofinnocence]

...And now what? I haven't spoken to him since.

[temperedinpride]

But would you trust him, do you think?
