You speak as if your own thoughts surprise you! Or am I simply so irresistible?
[ shit ]
She was the one that approached me, to be precise.

No such luck, Absinthe. Although you are surprisingly charming in your own way.
[ cheek smooch in turn! though he's straightening up a bit quick after. ]
Ah yes. Ruby seemed to have ... quite a time of it.

[ pauses, hand going stiff in his, what little color there is in her face draining out completely ]
. . . What?
. . . What?
[ he honestly just wanted to tease him with that, knowing Scythe would probably push things further considering how they met. there's something like a laugh in the kiss, keeping himself leaned down for that. ]
I am flattered.
[ he hasn't stopped touching him yet, and now he moves to cup the back of Vergil's neck with his hand and try to tug him into a kiss on the lips ]

-- Oh! Nothing terribly dire. She just seemed shaken by the time we had reunited.
Intact, however.

[if the words over his head had changed they would say 'disgruntled but smug' but they just disappear instead. Scythe bites him lightly at the laugh because he SUSPECTS HE'S BEEN PLAYED in some weird and meaningless way, and breaks the kiss off a second later]
What a princess all've a sudden.

[ more sharply than she probably intends, palm grown sweaty in his hand, ]
- What happened to her? Please tell me.

Too polite for your tastes?

She was not actually harmed. She was quite well-equipped! But mentally she seemed frayed.
[Well he's a little surprised, a bit embarrassed, but no inhibitions means he doesn't worry about it. No thinking twice before returning it, he even tugs Absinthe in by his collar. Not to be outdone in aggression, he is competitive.]
You're just the kinda guy who seems suspicious if he's polite...
[also grabbing another. yellow! makes a face at the taste]

[ Absinthe doesn't even need lowered inhibitions!! also Vergil is charming so that helps.
there's a hum that probably sounds like a muffled laugh into the kiss, and though it's not strictly necessary for the game he's trying to deepen it. ]

In her words... "Everyone who's full of murder is so exhausting".
[ his also happens to be yellow, and he laughs ]
I would never be polite insincerely.
[ thankfully a lie! and he's leaning back down with that drink taken to kiss him again -- this time fully, not so delicate-acting anymore. ]

[the kiss happens before he can figure out why there is a slight delay in what he meant to say, so the effect of the yellow one remains a mystery. He does return the kiss, even pulls at his lip a little this time, but once again breaks it off before it can go too long]
Does anyone buy that?

[ oh, ]
I - I'm sorry . . .
[ is just sort of blurted out in her panic, even though she and ruby have already talked about this,
once she realizes there's a brief pause, ]
What - what about you? Were you okay...?

[ he also lies so naturally he doesn't know what the effect of that one was. so, nothing was learned!! ]
I like to imagine I'm somewhat convincing.

[Vergil does, this is the worst kind of game, murder ones are so much better!! He won't even kiss Cosmo where anyone can see!
He would have stopped this right away otherwise too, but apparently he's going to keep giving in to Absinthe's whims. He lets him, parting his lips with his own amused little chuckle. This is basically what makes Absinthe charming really.]

Maybe I'd buy it if you hadn't signed up for my 'guys who are full of shit' date.
Ah, well ... I died quite a few times, but dying in and of itself is not something I mind.
[ see that's cute too!! Absinthe would tease him over it if he knew. for now thankfully for Vergil he's free from that.
he takes that -- both the fact that Vergil is parting his lips and the chuckle as encouragement, hand cupping the back of the other man's neck as he presses his tongue against his. ]
