Are you certain you can take it...?

[temperedinpride]

And what will you do if I must have my way with you instantly?

[auguryofinnocence]

[He laughs.]

That was not quite the way I meant, but I suppose it is a possibility as well. I couldn't deny you anything, of course. But if you do not wish to be sidetracked...

[temperedinpride]

I always wish to be sidetracked with you, that is the problem.

[auguryofinnocence]

Then perhaps you should simply accept it as inevitable?

[temperedinpride]

Oh I do. But do let me enjoy you showing me around a bit first.

[auguryofinnocence]

So then I should take you out on the town first?

[temperedinpride]

Oh absolutely dear. Show me the sights.

[auguryofinnocence]

Then we will save the last of the home tour for when we return. I hope you enjoy blood and the stench of rot?

[Very romantic, right? Vergil knows how to treat a date.]

[temperedinpride]

I hope you did include a big tub.

For that matter will I be needing to create clean water?

[auguryofinnocence]

This Hell is not equipped with clean, running water, no. But I imagine that will be no trouble for you to fix. Food and the like as well.

[temperedinpride]

Well, I can just absorb the ambient aether for the most part, but I did bring food for when it is necessary.

Water on the other hand... It is good I brought crystals. It shouldn't be a problem.

[He says not carrying anything.]

[auguryofinnocence]

I didn't see anything with you?

[temperedinpride]

[He holds his hand out, a blue crystal materializing in his grasp.]

I have quite a few things with me.

[auguryofinnocence]

[You mean you can do that with more than just weapons??? Wild.]

Well aren't you handy to have around. Planning to clean up the rivers of blood?

[temperedinpride]

[He puts it away.

Maybe DMCs could do it with more than just weapons too if like, anything but weapons fit into their braincells.]

My, and ruin your homey aesthetic? I wouldn't dream of it.

[auguryofinnocence]

Oh good, I do like it this way.

[But if they're going to start the tour of Hell, then he'll take Lahabrea's hand again and take them to an open field bathed in dusk, where another inverted field hangs in the sky. Debris floats suspended in the air, and the remains of skeletons and weapons are scattered about like an ancient battlefield with demonic flowers growing in and between them. For Hell, it's picturesque.]

[temperedinpride]

[He's going to look around obviously? Pulling Vergil along by the hand as he inspects this or that, but eventually he'll stop to just look at the view.]

It is rather striking. What is this place?

[auguryofinnocence]

Who knows? Whether it has always been here in this state, or pieces were somehow stolen from the human world, or if some battle between demonic forces occured here... It is not an uncommon sight.

[If he's paying attention while looking out at the scenery, it might become clear that they've ended up on what was the sky. Little difference between the two, but they aren't mirror images.]

[temperedinpride]

[He looks up (down?) fascinated.]

I do not think I've seen anything quite like it. Remarkable.

[auguryofinnocence]

You will find many parts of Hell care nothing for gravity or generally how time and space should work. It can be beautiful, I do want to show you such places, where it is not so awful to be here.

[temperedinpride]

I do not think I could find being here awful, when you are beside me.

[He smiles at Vergil, turning from the scenery to regard him with just, full adoration.]

But do show off anyway. All the places you wish to and more.

[auguryofinnocence]

[How can ever he stand being looked at like that without turning red!]

You are sweet. I just thought it would be good to show you that my memories here are not all bad. That there are parts of it I would truly want to share with someone, not just for loneliness but to appreciate together.

When it is still and silent, strange, all stretching on so far... I do love this. But I did not give myself the time to enjoy it before.

[temperedinpride]

[He brings Vergil's hand to his lips, soft.]

I want to bask in it with you. Hear all about your appreciation, the places and thoughts and quiet you enjoy. And yes, to enjoy it silently as well.

But thank you, it does ease my worries to hear of good things. Of what you love.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He squeezes Lahabrea's hand.]

I love being able to see it with you. Perhaps we will even discover explanations for such things, with your insights. I look forward to seeing what you will uncover.
