sharpsurprise

Give me ten minutes.

[ Someone was still asleep.]

Of course. [He's absolutely unsure how to bring this. For all that Vergil keeps insisting he doesn't get alon with his brother, he knows this'll hit hard. He fidgets a little, looking at the sword Dante had left with him, until it's been 10 minutes.

He makes his way to Vergil's cabin soon enough, and lightly taps on the doorpost. He left the sword in his room, but he's holding Dante's coat, as well as the copy of Vergil's file.]

[ Vergil yawned when he heard the knock, thankfully he had been by himself thanks to flood end and he had not been joined yet. He had just finished changing, into suit pants anda button up white shirt. his hair was unstyled at the moment, so he had Dante hair rocking at the moment.

He moved to the door however. Since he figured he knew who was knocking. Pulling open the door the cool blue eyes met Souji.]

Ten minutes passed quickly, come on in.

[ His room is prefectly neat, a posh styled room, with a fancy bed, his victorian long coat was hanging off one of the poles. Its where he keeps it. The only sign the room is lived in is bocks scattered about the room on a desk, beside the bed, and the slightly messy Bedset. he had not had time to make it yet.]

[It feels strange, coming into Vergil's room. He already knew so much about Vergil from the file-- stepping into this place felt like it was just a little bit too much. Like he should be allowed to keep at least this to himself.

He shifts the coat and the file underneath one arm, making them less conspicuous, and smiles at Vergil as he steps in.]

It's a very nice room. [A difference of night and day if the thinks about Dante's messy office, too. Best not dwell on that, now.]

[ Vergil pushed the door shut and moved to pull one of the two two queen anne chairs out, motioning for Souji to sit. Vergil could Souji had something red in his arm but he didn't question it much. He was still waking up so it was best to just leave things to explanation in time.]

It is simply a room. [ He spoke as if not very caring on it.] A place I once stayed, nothing more. [ he sat down in one chair, waiting for Souji to sit. He knew most peoples cabins were their home, but Vergil never settled in one place long. This was the room Arkham provided him with to keep the demon happy while they revived the Temem Ni Gru.]

It's very nice, all the same. [He smiles, softly but confidently. It wouldn't do to let his guard down, now; he was expecting anger at the least, violence, probably. He hadn't taken his own sword with him for that reason.

He sits down in one of the chairs, putting his little package next to his feet.] It suits you.

I am the son of the savoir of my world, it would not do to live like a slob. [ There's a reason he keeps cleaning Dantes cabin any time their both in there. He wanted Dante to be more like him, hell he wished he could see the world in half the light his brother seemed too.] I simply live as I see fit of myself to live.

I am sure you did not come to ask about my space as you are only just seeing it. So, please do not let me distract you. [ He's curious, okay. Life time problem here.]

[He quietly takes in Vergil's explanation; he's starting to get used to Vergil's way of speaking. Evasive, always explaining.

He takes in a deep breath, preparing himself. Might as well get it over with, since he suspected Vergil wouldn't appreciate niceties.]

Your brother left. He came to see me before he did, to tell me, and to leave some things in my care. But he went back home.

[ Vergil's expression fell for a split second before he composed himself, running a hand though his hair to push it from his face. He kept his tone even, even though an infurno was starting to boil within.]

Always like him to run. [ He's not the one whose been running all his life, thats Vergil.] Was it a woman?

[He keeps looking at Vergil, closely. He'd been concerned from the moment Dante told him he had to leave, because it was like Vergil said: it's a comfort, to have someone from home here.]

I'm not sure, Vergil. He didn't tell me.

[ Vergil was silent a long moment. It was not Souji his rising anger was over. But Dante. Oh that twin of his. His face dropped then. Oh fuck Karasu. ]

Sounds like him, now, not to cut you short, you said he left things, what did he leave.

[He wouldn't blame Vergil if he did his anger out on Souji; it'd be understandable, if aything.

He reaches down, then hands over the little package.]

It's his coat, and your file. Since you'd already read it... [He shrugs a little.] If you want it, it's yours.

That bastard. [ he let a growl escape as he spoke.] How dare he take Karasu, he knew it was not mine.

[ he glared at the package and simply, threw it, yes. Hes angry but he threw it at the bed and not the wall.]

I left the Katana in his room last I saw him, we were suppose to spare that night and I got distracted. [ he thinks Dante took the sword.]

Vergil-- [he puts up his hands; he'd wanted to bring that up after he gave Vergil the clothes, but apparently that was a bad decision.]

He left it with me. I just-- didn't take it with me now.

[ Yep, someones mad. Someones reallllly mad.]

Why not? Why would you leave a sword behind in a place like this? That sword is not mine, I was charged with caring for it. My brother was one thing, but you, I barely know you.

[He stands up, his expression carefully neutral. This was more in line with what he'd expected, and he'd been ready for it.]

It's safely in my cabin. He left it with me, without telling me this story. I had no idea of where it came from.

[ Vergil stayed sitting so he can keep himself from lashing out, but the fire burned bright in his eyes.]

Bring it to me, or return it to Zane. As I said it is not mine, I will not have someone else holding property loaned to me. [ he wished he could shank Dante one more time.]

[Well, Souji's not a tall man. He's not likely to intimidate anyone just by standing up.]

I'd like to hear the story behind this sword, Vergil.

[ Sadly, its the fact that he kinda looks like a woman that keeps Vergil sitting. He figures the guy has hidden strength but his own code makes he stay sitting.]

It was loaned to me by the Banshee Queen as a means to show I can be responsible with a sword. Those who know me know the sword is not mine, I want mine back. Thus I work hard to show I can be trusted. I have injured none nor attacked any with the blade. In fact, I have saved a life here, Lydia Martin. I used the blade to protect her just before the mirror barge.

It is a tool to prove my worth, but it has great sentamental value to the one it belongs too. Thus I handle it with great care because no one had to arm me. But she did. [ he's more angry for Sylvanas, it was a sword from her friend. He knew so little besides that.] Do you know of Hattori Hanzo? That is Hanzo Steel that Katana.

[He listens, quietly, as Vergil tells the story. He understands, and it feels unfair, not giving him the sword. But the Banshee Queen is not Vergil's Warden, and he can see that Vergil's hanging by a thread, here. Besides, 'saving a life' doesn't always mean the same thing.

He frowns a little at the mention of 'Hanzo'-- does he mean the Sengoku-era samurai? Somehow he doubts it, so he just shakes his head.] I don't know him like that.

[He sighs a little, idly touching the chair's armrest where he stands next to it] You're right. We don't know each other that well. But I have to take this responsibility.

Her wardens name is Zane, return it to him this will be y only request on the matter.

[ Vergil stood, walking from Souji and the desk, moving to remove the package off his brothers jacket. With his back to he other he allowed himself to look down, disappointed at the nearly perfect red leather. Flashy fucker, going and getting his hopes that they would be close once more. He should have known better. He spoke as he looked to the jacket.]

I can not fault you in this, but I would like you to leave. I am no longer in a mood to entertain. It is better this way.

I'm not someone you have to entertain. [But he makes for the door, anyway.]

I'm sorry he left, Vergil.

As it is, it is a nicer way of saying I wish to be alone. You need to understand I prefer my solitude.

[ Most of the time yes, right no he just wanted to spare the man his temper he could feel rising within, both at himself and his brother.]

Don't be, it is not a surprise at all. Dante runs, it is what Dante does. Thank you for telling me. Have a good day.

Seriously?

[Souji has nothing to fear from Mickey -- he knows when and how to keep his mouth shut -- but he's disappointed, in a way he hasn't been since Needy left. He'd really liked the guy. He'd had him over for dinner, for Christ's sake. It feels weirdly like a betrayal for him to just... take off.]

I'm afraid so. Were you close?

[He bristles a little at the question, defensive. He's working on it, but that whole having feelings in public thing is still hard for him.]

Not like we were banging or anything.

You can be close without having sex! Still, I'm sorry.

Whatever.

[Pause.]

So why'd he take off?

I'm not sure. It was urgent, so I assume he had something important to do, back home.

Of course!

Would there happen to be any vacancies for inmate jobs in the library?

Of course! We could always use more help.

Oh! Great! I think you already know my inmate-- Vergil?

Oh yes! I helped him with some research. He seems like a sensible man.

Well, he's very passionate about books! Would you mind if I asked him to come work with you?

Not at all. If that's the case it sounds like a great fit.

Then I'll ask him! Thank you, Miss Chromie. Ah, it'll give me an excuse to visit you very often!

I think that would be wonderful, then!

[Chromie giggles.]

Oh, we should plan when we can go flying!

I didn't want to bother you with it! You'd still like to...?

[He might be a tiny bit scared. But she'd challenged him.]

It's no bother! I love taking people! Perhaps the sea first, if you're not feeling up to it?

No, no, not at all! No time like the present!

Well, alright! I have my shifts today, but perhaps after that?

Yes! Absolutely! I'll be ready!
