[ What better way to spend points for a victory than to buy booze? Absolutely none. So here he is ready to get wasted ]

All right if you've got anything to say, you guys have 30 minutes to tell me anything of importance. After that I definitely won't be sober.

...Does that mean you want me to, then?

[temperedinpride]

I want you to feel entitled, not apologetic. Even if it must be at my expense.

[auguryofinnocence]

I do feel entitled. ...I just also worry about you.

[temperedinpride]

[He leans up to kiss Vergil's chin.]

And I love and appreciate that. But you should not feel the need to hold back your frustrations or desires.

[auguryofinnocence]

But I know it is often painful for you to think of. I should not be frustrated with you for that.

[temperedinpride]

[He laughs softly.]

And when I concede you grow reasonable. But you know, I must think of it sooner or later. For you do deserve the information you seek, and I wish you to know it.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well. I only meant to tease you, but it became somewhat too serious before I realised. But you are right, I do deserve the information.

[temperedinpride]

[Look at that face, he loves this man.]

Yes dear, anything for you.



Eventually.

[auguryofinnocence]

Oh? Are you fishing for me to be demanding? I want it now.

[temperedinpride]

Mmhm? Well, I'll think about it!

[auguryofinnocence]

You are just back to your original stance then! Do I need to be apologetic and uncertain to pull at your heartstrings?

[temperedinpride]

Nonsense. But I will consider it. At least if you like I can share boring things. I know they are not what you seek ultimately, but they may ease me into it.

[auguryofinnocence]

I also wish to know "boring" things. Every mundane detail, have I not made that clear? All the better if it helps with the more difficult points.

[temperedinpride]

Then shall I share some of those?

[auguryofinnocence]

Was that not what I was asking originally? Yes. Share until you are hoarse.

[He takes Lahabrea's hand to pull him into the ruins garden.]

[temperedinpride]

[He looks startled but doesn't resist being pulled.]

Yes dear....

[auguryofinnocence]

[He pushes Lahabrea down to sit in the grass and straddles the man's lap.]

Hmm... Would it help if I also shared something? I could take a memory or two. First to loosen your lips, or after as a reward. Or perhaps one before and one after to achieve both effects?

[temperedinpride]

Oh.

[He looks up at Vergil. this is nice! Very good.]

Absolutely. Both.

[auguryofinnocence]

I would be glad to trade information any time.

[Good, he knows how to appeal to Lahabrea. He grins, wrapping an arm around the man's shoulders as he takes out his phone to buy a memory. ...It's pretty embarrassing to watch himself being so frail, even when it's V?]

[temperedinpride]

[Oh he watches enraptured. He loves seeing Vergil's life, he's just as greedy as Vergil is really.]

How determined you are.

[auguryofinnocence]

Hah, is that your takeaway and not "clueless" or something about not thinking things through, over-confidence?

[temperedinpride]

Ignorant, perhaps. But determined all the same, wouldn't you say?

[auguryofinnocence]

Well, yes. I am always determined, naturally. There is no question of that whatsoever.

[temperedinpride]

Of course. It is part of what I love about you. What do you feel about it? Mortality, needing Dante's help?

[auguryofinnocence]

...What do you think? It feels pathetic. To be so fragile and have to remember it always. Unable to forget it really, in that useless body that is worse even than the average human.

...And then having to go crawling to Dante to beg for help, what could be more demeaning? All the worse that it is to kill my own self, that I need to hope he is still stronger than me, even after all that... I didn't want to die so weak and afraid, so demeaning myself would always be worth it, but... I hate it. Even that rare opportunity to see his reaction to my request, how firmly he felt about killing me. Being so despised on top of worthless.
