[ 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.

[He nods.]

Yes, or I have tried to anyway. I think he understands, mostly. In practice, I suppose I would also take it as a personal attack. I doubt it is possible to ever fully avoid offending each other, but I think it is improving.

[temperedinpride]

I imagine it helps that you are so possessive of one another.

[auguryofinnocence]

Are we?

[He's possessive of everyone he loves, even putting every other reason aside, so obviously yes? But look. Vergils are dumb.]

[temperedinpride]

Quite? And he of you.

[auguryofinnocence]

...I am protective, and he is part of me after all, so I suppose that is going to come with some inherent possessiveness. The reverse would be somewhat more toward envy, I would think.



Or were you being threatened more than the initial distrust I was aware of?

[temperedinpride]

I believe he was fully willing, and still is, to attempt to murder me should I wound you.

[auguryofinnocence]

...Oh. You would destroy him.

[That's cute. Very sweet.]

Should I tell him any grievance I've ever had?

[temperedinpride]

I rather thought you wanted him to survive, dear? I suppose I can merely go easy on him for any attempts.

But I am sure he would be delighted to be confided to so.

[auguryofinnocence]

I do, I just think it's cute. From both of you.

And given that he is also me, would you really be able to bring yourself to kill him? You said you want to collect Vergils, right?

[temperedinpride]

Of course I could not do him lasting harm.

[auguryofinnocence]

You see. Cute. You might also feel such temptation to set another Lahabrea against me.

But really that is all to say that I can be very proud, if all that stubbornness impresses you.

[temperedinpride]

You should be proud!

[auguryofinnocence]

That's what I said! I'm very stubborn! And spiteful and arrogant! And I will accomplish anything I so choose! So you should be thoroughly impressed because I am remarkable!

[temperedinpride]

[He's so charmed!]

I am impressed and you are remarkable. My beautiful, stubborn, wilful husband.

[auguryofinnocence]

That's right. And don't forget that if that is how hard I fight for something I do not even care for, then the extent I would go to for you or to remain with you is something truly unimaginable.

Well, perhaps you can grasp the scope of it.

[Would he go full Ascian just to make sure he gets to have Lahabrea? Yeah.]

[temperedinpride]

[Oh. His heart skips and his cheeks go a little pink.]

Yes. I suppose I am one of the few who could truly imagine the lengths you might go to. And how marvelous and tragic it would be if you were forced to such lengths.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He cups a cheek in his palm, stroking it with his thumb.]

There would be quite the wake of destruction. Nothing in my way would be spared even for a moment.

I nearly wish that I could show you, just because you deserve to be fought for to the extent that you do for others. And to prove all these promises of mine. You are worth all that you have laboured and more to me, ▇▇▇▇. In case there is ever a sliver of doubt.

[temperedinpride]

There is no need to prove it to me, love. I know your words are not empty. I am endeared as it is, flattered and assured.

[He leans into that.]

And do not think I would hesitate to tear through all that would block me from you.

[auguryofinnocence]

I know you often say that you believe me completely, but even so. I would remind you often.

[But he also blushes to hear that himself?]

...And I am also certain that you would.

[temperedinpride]

I suppose it does not hurt to be reminded, or to remind you. I think you have some idea of the lengths I would go to myself, hm?

[auguryofinnocence]

I might have a point of reference that speaks to some extreme measures, yes.

[temperedinpride]

Any measures I take are perfectly reasonable for my goals.

That would include anything I had to do to track you down and make you mine.

[auguryofinnocence]

But I think it is charming when you are very unreasonable. I would like to see it. If only it did not mean being away from you for more than a moment, that is.

[temperedinpride]

You do deserve to be so obsessed over, it is true.

[auguryofinnocence]

Mmhmm? I think I've come to the right man, in that case.
