[Ugh he's FINE can yall stop acting like hes a child. Where was that paternal instinct when it came to raising Nero.]

Accomplice: oh it's ok i've had coffee!
Accomplice: but you can come visit
Accomplice: i'd love that
Accomplice: oh uh
Accomplice: jason's here though
Accomplice: you don't get along right

[Look! He didn't even know Nero existed! Plus he was SUPER DUPER mind controlled for half of Nero's life and then he died for a while so like, what was he gonna do..........]

Vergil: I suppose he told you how awful I am? It's fine, I can tolerate him, I just don't like him as a partner for my son.

[Have you tried not being mind controlled???]

Accomplice: partner?
Accomplice: do they work together
Accomplice: no he just said you're uh
Accomplice: an idiot and a defensive asshole
Accomplice: i think it's funny :)

[Yeah! Tried real hard! Fought it for years! Still got mind controlled! Still really fucked up about it thanks!]

Vergil: I suppose the term is "dating". Well he is correct on the "asshole" part of that, at least.

[He's on his way over but first he's getting hot chocolate because sometimes bit made hot chocolate for the other softest boy Wifi after hard games. Surely this will help. He doesn't believe for a second that Levity's eaten!!!]

[Hmmm good enough! Vergil gets sticker for doing his best to avoid mind control. You did good.]

Accomplice: oh
Accomplice: i had no idea!
Accomplice: hope you can work things out though
Accomplice: i'll open the door when you get here :)

[Which... he does, when Vergil arrives with the hot choco! And look he's eaten, he had a whole BAG OF CHIPS today.]

Hey, Vergil!

[Levity looks chipper! If you ignore the fact that he also looks like he hasn't slept in a week and possibly has been crying?]

Edited 2021-02-06 06:27 (UTC)

[Well he's also brought some food so time to eat more!!! He immediately hands over the Very Large hot chocolate though, no explanation, it's just being thrust in Levity's direction.]

Hello, Levity. How do you manage to have so much energy and yet look dead tired?

[He takes the hot choco, sniffs at it curiously... and then stands there transfixed for a few moments.]

...By the heavens, I forgot about chocolate.

[This is an extremely shockedpika moment for someone who's been feverishly trying to figure out food while excluding certain flavours while being unable to think about anything other than those flavours.

He startles, waking up from hot chocolate thoughts, and then gestures Vergil to come inside.]

Oh, you know! Inspiration strikes at any hour!

[Oh did he pick good, well the other thing he pulls from a shopping bag is a package of chocolate cookies once he steps inside. ...Also just a big bag of spinach? Because vegetables are important. Nutrition.]

Well you'll need something to keep you going then.

[Thank you for being considerate of post-cannibalism diet, Vergil! Now just teach him your turnip chomping ways and you're set. No idea what you're set for, but you are.]

I had some energy drinks earlier, I think.

[Drinks, plural. He thinks.]

[He kind of figured if Levity was in his or Absinthe's hearts then there's a high chance he's a bit put off by meat at the moment...]

...You don't remember?

Don't remember what?

[We are very busy not remembering many things. You have to specify.]

Whether you drank several energy drinks.

[What's an energy drink...must be like coffee or something.]

[Oh. Uh.]

We can check!

[He'll lead Vergil to The Lab, then, which... is a mess. Because someone's been living there like a traumatized bachelor for two days. There are several energy drink cans on the table.]

[....Please he is concerned.]

Have you been spending all your time here since we woke yesterday?

[He sits down to sip his blessed hot choco, but Vergil's question catches him by surprise. He looks around at the lab, raises a hand to scratch at the back of his neck.]

Uh... maybe?

[don't know what yesterday you're talking about]

[He's glad hot choco is a hit, he doesn't really get it, but people seem to like food as comfort so!!]

...Levity. How are you feeling? Besides distracting yourself, which I can't tell whether you're doing a good job of or not.

[He blinks.]

What do you mean? I'm just working. See, me and Sho made some plans for dorm upgrades, and it's not exactly as simple as just ordering them, so I'm trying to draw up proper plans. And some aren't even developed beyond an idea, so there's actual logistics to work out on top of what we're going to put in the room! And I thought that maybe we don't need to stop at what we've already decided on, and maybe we can add other things, so I'm trying to write down what other ideas I get. And, well, Cosmo had some suggestions as to what I could build too, and it's all in there, and...

[He waves a hand at the piles of mechanisms and blueprints and books, then just... trails off, looking like he shut down. After a few moments, he seems to wake up.]

What of yourself? Are you doing alright? Ah... You know, I think I gave the flower to Cosmo, if you wanted that back. How did it come back with us, anyway? Does that happen every time?

[He's! Suddenly chatty!]

[Hmmmm he knows that dissociating look. Don't think you can hide it young man (that doesn't mean he wants to talk about how he feels either shut up).]

...The flower?

[Oh right. He did see people with flowers that looked like demonic ones.]

I wouldn't know, this hasn't happened while I've been here. Well, I've seen something similar, but those were dreams, whereas this seems to have been directly within one's soul. But after those we did end up with a souvenir or two.

...I am sorry for anything that happened within mine. Or anything you saw. I have been told it was the Underworld which can't be any more pleasant to see than any of my thoughts.

[HE'S PROBABLY OLDER THAN YOU!!!

Souvenirs though, huh. Without realizing it, Levity brings up a hand to his stomach, where Somnus's blade had gone through him. Every now and then it makes Levity want to claw it open to get rid of it.

Only a mercy that he didn't have any "souvenirs" from the other encounter.]

I see...

Ah, but... Your soul was--it wasn't bad for me. Some things happened, yes, but... I've only grown fonder of you. And I'm thankful for the chance.

[He's definitely older, Vergil's older than his body but like. Only by 10 years or so? Not...Ancients level.

He watches that, frowning a bit... He's going to assume Levity was stabbed or something. Don't like that.]

Hah, is that so... Well I am glad if you only saw things to be endeared by, from what I hear it could have been...truly terrible. I want...to keep you safe, Levity.

[Like a lot? He's not sure why, he already wanted to look out for Levity but this is a lot.]

[Gay??? Levity's eyes widen in surprise a little, and he looks away as though he's flustered.]

I... You did. And I never got to say it, but... thank you.

[Despite everything he's smiling, genuinely fond.]

...I did?

[That makes him really glad? But he sure doesn't remember it!]

[Soulvore still gives him warm fuzzy feelings, what if he could just stay in Vergil's soul without ever having to go to Absinthe's :'( ]

You saved both me and Lily. And even before that...

[Levity pauses, wondering how to word this.]

There was a big library. And the child version of you there. We talked a little, and he was very concerned about me. He was very lonely, too... so I decided to stay with him. So he didn't have to be alone.

[He chuckles.]

You know, I think that was the first hug I've ever gotten from you.

[And likely last now! Thanks Absinthe!]

Protecting both you and Lily...what, that childhood version of me?

[That does feel familiar? ...Which means it's his turn to stare into the distance for a few long moments, forgetting to breathe. A bit of a wild look in his eye --]

[-- Until he pulls himself back and looks at Levity.]

It doesn't have to be the only hug I offer you. ...I imagine you could use one.

[Haha,]
