You know, it's weird hearing you worrying about getting in trouble. [ honestly, when has vergil ever worried about collateral damage? never in his memories. he isn't sure if it is a nice change or if it's just... weird. ] But the forest sounds like a decent enough spot. Nothing much out there but some trees and animals that'll probably avoid us.

Well, we didn't really go to school you know? It wasn't like we had any friends, just each other. Guess I always wanted your attention and sometimes it annoyed the shit out of you. [ he was a wild child, in truth, always on the move always doing something. it was like he didn't know what to do with himself if he sat still. and he always, always, wanted his brother's attention, often getting jealous of things that vergil gave more attention to than dante himself. ] Yeah, yeah, whatever you say.
