[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]
...Frankly because I didn't realise who you were. That you are their friend. I have little tolerance for social situations or making nice. But they are important enough to me that anyone they care for is also my concern. Besides that I intend to stay in your world, difficult to ignore that.
...And in bothering, I have enjoyed your company on your own merits.
But do not think I am normally even a tenth as competent as I may appear with you or them. Or that I have not hurt them too.
[Hythlodaeus has to ignore that last part because, well, that was also a conversation he's had with Absinthe. Thankfully, there's enough of a distraction there.]
Oh--you intend to stay with us? I had no idea... but it would be wonderful to continue being your friend beyond this place.
Mm, maybe you are a little different in that particular sphere. But you are very endearing, too, even though--no, particularly because you do not seem to realize it nor try to be so.
[Well that's, unfortunately, another thought (TM). "Treating someone sweet as pie doesn't change what you do with another person", huh...
Heavens, no, he can't handle the thought of Vergil also being... like that, right now.]
Unfortunately for you, that does make me see you as sweet. And I find it endearing how much you care for your son and try to mend your bond. And when you're proud of being a demon, that's cute, too. And when you talk about things you're passionate about. You're a man of few words, usually, so it makes that much more of an impact.
But even if you don't sleep...to at least rest your mind and body. Lay down, without activity. I could keep you from falling asleep if you are afraid of what you might dream.

He is rather easily embarrassed, too! But at least you don't threaten to cut off my fingers for that.
[...uh not the best topic actually but it's removed enough that he can ignore it.]
Re: 327 maybe??
Only because I am nice to you, specifically.

I do not mind. I... simply haven't the energy to respond properly right now.

I can't sleep. And I'm not keen on letting anyone mess with my mind again.

That... might not be such a bad idea.

Vergil, do you think you could teach me to fight? At a later point?
Re: 327 maybe??
Of course. I teach Lahabrea regularly, you could join us. Or on your own, either way.
Re: 327 maybe??
That would be great. I think it could help stop him fretting, too.
