Come here, where are you going? You want to fill out your card, don't you?

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[A little hesitant to approach.]

Yeah. I'm going to the next spot.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

Alone?

[Shouldn't you be walking with a buddy young man??]

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[He puffs out, defiant. He can take care of himself!]

I'll find someone when I get there.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

That's not what I mean.

[He steps forward and grabs Nero by the hand, but doesn't look at him. Eyes straight ahead, frowning.]

Where were you heading? We'll do one together.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

H-hey!

[He tries to tug his hand free, unnerved by this cold demeanor.]

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[He doesn't try to keep it, that's fine.]

You're not going alone.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

I can take care of myself...

[puts on a face to look tough!]

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[He has to smile a little at that]

Don't I know it. Who else are you going to do the family outing with though?

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[With the bluntness of a child,]

Raven. Uncle Dante.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[O...h...]

...You don't want to do it with your dad?

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

...

.......

But you're mean...

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

-- I'm not mean. I'm...not good at this.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[Pulls his hood a little tighter]

Are you gonna yell at me?

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

Of course not, I promise I won't yell.

...You can take my sword. If I break my promise, I don't get to have it back.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[His eyes widen. Surprised, but also a little excited?]

Really?? Um-- okay.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[Giving a child a giant sword is the Sparda way and very good parenting. He offers it up.]

Mm-hmm. Here. You can pick wherever you want to go too.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[This immediately placates the child, because he too is a Sparda, and he clutches the katana that's way too big for him close to his body.]

Then... let's go to Olive Garden!

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[They grow up and get demon swords so fast 8')]

Olive Garden...?

Ah. Right. [Bva. Of course.] Sure why not.

Do you...want to... ride on my shoulders or something

1/2

[minidevilbreaker]

Really...??

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[Wait no don't look too excited. You're not some kind of baby. You're tough. SHRUGS.]

I mean-- o-okay.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[They're still the same......]

Alright, hold on to that sword.

[He leans down to lift Nero up and just set him right on his shoulders. This is actually convenient because now he doesn't have to worry about what he's doing with his face.]

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[This is a plus for Nero too, because now Dad can't see the sheepish smile on his face!

With a ridiculously long sword tucked under one arm, and the other holding onto Vergil's head, he settles comfortably onto his new perch.]

Do you know how to get there?

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

Not really. You want to give me directions?

[He was going to google maps it otherwise but maybe it would make Nero feel important? He was thinking it would be worse to deal with a little kid but actually this is a lot easier than an already grown man...]

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[Nero takes out his phone, already feeling proud and useful. He's smart! Being Vergil's son, of course.]

The map says Olive Garden is three hours thirty minutes by foot, but we can take the train to... Higa...shi... Koganei... station. That's thirty-five minutes.
