[Silence. For a while, it seems like Nero was intent on ignoring him again - despite hauling him all the way up here.

But then, he bursts out of the leaves to knock Vergil over, and to sit squarely on his chest. Nero glares down at his father, frustrated and longing and resentful and possessive.]

Happy now?

[That knocks the wind out of him, he's not as strong right now, go easy on him??]

Yes.

[He looks Nero over...and of course can't help but notice the wing. Oh.]

You seem to be in a poor mood.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

[never

He notices Vergil's gaze on his arm, and tries to cover it with his good wing, angry and ashamed.]

Yeah, I wonder why.

...If you can get limbs in the shop, or prosthetic limbs from Future is Now, I'm sure you could get one for the wing, too.

[still not budging from on top of Vergil]

If I fill out this stupid bingo card, I might get changed into something else.

[auguryofinnocence]

If you want, I'll help you with as many as I can.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Huffs!]

I'm doing two right now.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[auguryofinnocence]

Are you? What tasks would those be?

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

I'm sitting on you.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[auguryofinnocence]

Hm, and the other?

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Just clams up, pouting a little.]

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[auguryofinnocence]

What? It can't be anything embarrassing.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

That's what you think...

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[auguryofinnocence]

....

What is it?

[Sullenly muttering,]

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.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[auguryofinnocence]

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.]

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

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.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[auguryofinnocence]

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.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[auguryofinnocence]

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

[He just mumbles it because it's extremely embarrassing. But.]

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

Your genes suck, old man.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[auguryofinnocence]

As if that has anything to do with genetics!

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

It has t'be. S'only reason I can think of, for why I'm like you when you weren't around.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[auguryofinnocence]

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.

Re: Day 297 MONSTER BINGO

[gigadevilbreaker]

[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.
