I'm sure they do. You don't want something more exciting, though? Or is that your favourite?

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

Spaghetti's my favourite.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[...good to know]

Guess you really are Italian, huh?

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

Is that in Fortuna?

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[oh, baby boy]

No, it's in Europe, its own country. Much bigger. Nero was an emperor - it also means black.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[Tilts his head a little, remembering]

Black... I have a blanket that's black.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

...Have you always had it?

[minidevilbreaker]

[He nods mutely against the top of Vergil's head, a little embarrassed.]

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[Does that upset him? Maybe it's best not to bring up not having been there to name him. It's amazing how much more clearly he can think when he's not looking at Nero. It cuts down the awkwardness significantly.]

There's a black spaghetti called spaghetti nero too, you know.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[Vergil can hear a tiny gasp of child-like wonder and delight]

There's black spaghetti?!

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

There sure is. Maybe they'll have it.

[that's probably expecting a lot of an olive garden]

It's made with squid ink.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[It is expecting entirely too much]

Whoaaaa, gross! I wanna try it!!

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[that's the reaction he was hoping for. kids love gross stuff.]

If they don't, we can...try to make it sometime.

[also a terrible idea, at least if vergil's the adult in charge.......]

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[Oooh, interest piqued]

Can you cook??

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

...No... But I can learn.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[Giggles,]

But you're an adult!

[Adults Know How To Do Everything]

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[yes thank you he IS AN ADULT no one else is recognising this right now]

That means I should be able to cook? No one ever taught me.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[Nero, a baby, cannot visually recognize the difference between a 19 year old and a 35 year old. Also, all dads are adults by default.

But this role reversal is so silly, it seems to tickle Nero. He feels even smarter now~]

I bet I could teach yooou.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[who can blame him for expecting his dad to be an adult]

You think so? You're pretty good, huh? ...I'd like that.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

[Beams!]

I'm really good, most of the time.

We can make your favourite food! What's your favourite, Dad?

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

[Uhhhh blood gathered by a qliphoth???

"Dad". That makes him feel really good. It's just. Nice. Like he's needed? Or wanted at least.]

Oh...uh...

Anything you make me is my favourite.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

['Dad' comes out so easily. As natural as breathing.]

Then, if I make spaghetti, then we'll both have the same favourite.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

What a good idea. That shouldn't be too difficult for me to learn, either. Then I can make it for you.

Re: STAMP RALLY

[minidevilbreaker]

Okay. You promised!

[His smile can be heard in his voice, he's so happy]

Re: STAMP RALLY

[auguryofinnocence]

Of course. How could I break a promise to you?

[As the train comes to their stop, he ducks down low again going through the doors.]

Ready to point me in the right direction?
