[Sparda] . . .
I will be taking a brief leave of absence from my home, so as not to damage my sons.
I don't consider myself an unreasonable man. I simply expect that, when I've taught them about basic demon etiquette, they know better than to flout certain customs. Foremost among them being not to make an overt show of threat when on another Demon Lord's territory.
Two Demon Lords together on a visit is most often considered an overt show of threat. Unless, of course, one is being offered as a hostage.
We do not offer family members as hostages unless the situation is far, far more dire than it is right now. Yes, Vergil, I'm speaking to you.
Therefore, I can come to no other conclusion than this: both of my sons are idiots, and I will have to seriously reconsider allowing them to do any further negotiation on my behalf.
I am extremely disappointed.
Nero, would you be terribly adverse to a visit from your grandfather?
