[Huffs!]
I'm doing two right now.

Are you? What tasks would those be?
I'm sitting on you.

[Just clams up, pouting a little.]
What? It can't be anything embarrassing.
[Nero thankfully is much lighter than usual. Hollow bones~]
Do we need any more of the big ones?

It's not fair that Nova wants you to teach her katana. She already has a dad. She's always had both her parents, and they've always loved her.

You know that doesn't exclude you from it, right? But I also don't need to, I only said yes to be polite.
[Or like as polite as Vergil can be.]

I think... with all those staves, we're probably fine unless someone else touches it?
[ at that point her feint comes trotting back, and tosses a bundle up to her—blankets from the dorm. ]
And now we're taken care of for the soft part.

I know I'm not excluded. I know I'm supposed t'be the mature one, 'cause I'm older, but when I thought about... about you--
[His face scrunches up, too embarrassed to go down that line of thinking.]
She's nice, and smart, and-- she doesn't have all the dumb baggage. It's easy to like her more.

...You know I didn't think about that.
[OH WELL! He helps lay out the blankets all around them, until it's nice and comfy]
Startin' to look nice enough t'lay eggs in.

You don't need to be anything, she's not going to be competition to you. She's nice. But she's not my daughter.
[ 3: he wilts a little, feeling deeply dumb for saying anything ]
I just... felt jealous, okay? It's stupid. I know it's stupid.

It's not. I'm...still jealous of Dante even now.

Your genes suck, old man.
As if that has anything to do with genetics!
It has t'be. S'only reason I can think of, for why I'm like you when you weren't around.
We just ended up similar for different reasons. Some that are alike, even. You were alone and treated poorly, it makes sense to end up with...certain complexes.
[he frowns, because it's true..... but those were complicated reasons, where the root of it fell mainly at the feet of Vergil's abandonment. And he didn't want to keep blaming him. It felt SO OLD at this point, it was aggravating that it'd still affect him in ways he didn't expect.]
...I hate feeling like this. I wanna be over it already.

You're preaching to the choir.
[huffs and nestles into full birb mode]
You're not allowed t'be anyone else's dad.

[Oh no birb soft. Also heavy.]
