[It is expecting entirely too much]

Whoaaaa, gross! I wanna try it!!

[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.......]

[Oooh, interest piqued]

Can you cook??

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

[Giggles,]

But you're an adult!

[Adults Know How To Do Everything]

[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.

[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.

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

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

[Beams!]

I'm really good, most of the time.

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

[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.

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

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

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

Okay. You promised!

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

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?

Yup! It should be this way...!

[Continuing down the street, they'll find........ a gardening store. With olive trees?

Is this right??]

...Wasn't it a restaurant?

[There's no breadsticks at a garden store?? or are there]

Umm.

[Looks down at map to double check. Then at the store. Back at map again.]

This... should be right...

...Maybe it's part of the store.

[he heads inside, it's worth a look anyway. like when zellers was a thing and usually had mcdonalds inside. one of those.]

[Zellers........ was so long ago

When Vergil enters the store, Nero gives him a little tug on his collar. He wants to explore too!]

I wanna come down...

Oh, right, I almost forgot you weren't part of my head.

[he kneels down to let Nero climb off]

[Giggling, he gets down and immediately starts to trot around, exploring the "Olive Garden" for the first time. He peers at all the little potted saplings, the herbs and vegetables - carefully touching their leaves to feel how soft they are]

Wow...

[And now it's more difficult again... Since he doesn't really know what to do, he just follows Nero around.]

...Maybe you should get a tomato plant?

Oh! Then we could make our own tomato sauce! But we'd have to wait a long time...

They have basil, too. And parsley...

[He gives them a sniff, then holds it up for Vergil to smell too.]

[Oh-- he's caught off guard, but, of course he smells too]

Are those part of it too?

Basil's important. And you can use...

[he starts doing a little count of all the herb pots in a row in front of him.]

Oregano, thime, rosemary, margyram, parsley...... any of these, if ya want.
