[This rather innocuous message flits in just before morning training starts, in the vain hope that he has some time to prepare for the inevitable backlash that will come later.]

[Filtered to: Dante]

[He can't believe he's doing this, but he's a man of his word.]

[His voice is slightly strained, like this is the last thing on Earth he wants to be doing ( Read more... )

[The reply comes much later, Dante's not a morning person no matter how long he's been getting forced out of bed by certain people in his apartment every morning.]

It's nothing. I'm happy for you, bro.

[Is this a dream or is he acting decent for once?]

[There's a pause before he replies. No, time does nothing to prepare him for this.

Especially since he's being nice. That's perhaps even harder to deal with than obnoxiousness would have been.]

...If you manage to get me drunk yet again though, I really am going to maim you. [He still remembers that night with him and Raven. Well, in theory. He remembers that it happened.]

[There's an unseen frown, before:] There's one thing I don't get. You're constantly meddling in my affairs and finding new ways to piss me off. Was... last night [read: Vergil hooking up with Yuna] your plan, or were you just being an idiot?

[There's evidence to suggest that Dante cares, and he's not sure he's comfortable with that.]

Learn how to hold your drink a little better next time then. [The implication that there will be a next time is worrying. Worse still is that he intends on making it happen more often.] Besides, I don't remember you complaining at the time.

And I'm not an idiot. Do you know how slow you guys were? If someone didn't do anything you'd have taken a hundred years! [Feeding them both enough alcohol until they lost their usual inhibitions was definitely one of the reasons why he started adding alcohol to as many things as possible.]

There doesn't need to be a next time. [Drinking entails poisoning your own body, Dante. That is not conducive to a sound body, mind and soul and therefore not a part of The Plan.]

Ugh. [He glowers to himself before answering.] I already decided on Halloween that I was going to talk to her. Other matters just got in the way. I didn't need you to interfere. [That good will is quickly running out...]
