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

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.

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.

How're you?

[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.]

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.]

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

...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.]

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.]

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?]

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

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'.]
