Vergil, here. [And recording from his apartment is said Meister and Zone Leader. The only things out of place in this particular scene is the sling hanging from his left shoulder and cradling his left arm, and perhaps a subtle trace of tiredness on his part. Otherwise he's all stoic and business as usual.]

Just announcing for those whom it concerns ( Read more... )

[Rikku snaps her fingers, disappointed]

I knew I was supposed to get something from you. One of my friends is interested in this DC thingie, and I said I'd get him info.

[NOW FILTERED]

I dunno if Yunie told you, but her birthday's next month--the fourteenth or so! [She grins] I was wondering if you wanted to, like, have a party for her! ...A quiet one, Yunie's not me.

Oh? [Still reassuring, nonetheless. A lot is riding on the first event-] Sounds promising. [-namely hours of time and effort.]

[PRIVATE]

No, she didn't. [He muses a moment. Hngh, tired. With Yuna as she is currently, birthday parties are not exactly his foremost concern.] I'm sure she would appreciate it. Sure.

Awesome! I know she's hurt and everything, but it's not for a few weeks, and something quiet, like, I dunno, dinner at home with cake and stuff might be good for her!

How're you?

Mmn. All things considered, can't really afford to waste opportunities for positive events. [What with the war as it is, and all. Getting more and more serious. And dangerous.]

[How is he? Unbelievably stressed. Being so busy was problem enough, but then there's the new drama with Yuna. Ask the girl right before a major mission not to die - upset her with unpleasant memories, followed by her becoming hospitalized. Again. For a man with abandonment issues, that does raise major concerns.]

Shoulder should be back in working order in a couple of days. What about you? [Clearly the most important thing, here.]

I'm fine. And that's not what I meant, Vergil.

[Of course it isn't. Clearly Vergil's skill in evasion is continuing to fail him unerringly.]

Tired. Maybe stressed, but I'd think that's a given. [Noncommittal here. He's never exactly been the type to openly talk about his feelings.]

What?

[It is more than slightly possible that he is being difficult about this.]

That also wasn't what I meant. Geez, is not talking about stuff a Sparda trait, 'cause you and Dante are good at it. How're you doing with Yunie like she is?

Dante? [He snorts quietly.] Dante likes the sound of his own voice too much to keep from talking. [For too long, anyway. Casual derision is comfortable though.

...But if he's learned anything, that kind of deflection won't work.]

What would you expect? [The fact that Rikku sees her and he hasn't checked in on her more than twice may speak volumes.]

Then I don't think you know your brother very well...[She shrugs] Well, either you feel uber guilty and can't stand to look at her all beat up and stuff or it hurts to much to see your live-in girlfriend-slash-housewife in so much pain? One of those two.

[Not that he's overly proud of his remote familiarity of his brother, but...] It's a matter of paying attention to which words he does and doesn't say. He says enough to be painfully obvious, and easy to read. [But maybe it is a Sparda thing. Dante's an idiot, but they're two of a kind in some ways.]

I'm not exactly thrilled to see Yuna hospitalized. I don't have anything to feel guilty for, though - I voiced my concerns about going into that facility.

[Maybe he should lock his door before a small blond girl descends upon him with wrench in hand.]

So....it's the second one?

Reply

[Video | Private] blue_darkslayer July 17 2011, 21:18:15 UTC
[He glances aside.]

Yes. [If I have to pick between the two.] It's less than pleasant seeing her that way each time.

[Okay, that was a little too honest for his attempt at being evasive, but it does affect him profoundly. She's more and more injured each time. What happens when she doesn't survive?]

[Rikku frowns and nods]

E ghuf. She's the only family I've got here, and...[She sniffs] Well, obviously people here can die and...[Sniffle]

[Oh hell. Crying Rikku on his hands is not something he needs when he is already growing irritable from mostly unwanted scrutiny.]

I'm vividly aware. [The very first person he'd formed any attachment to in Death City? Dead.] I'm also vividly aware that I can't always protect her, which puts me in an extremely compromising position. [Translation: 'compromising' reads as 'vulnerable'.]
