[ he's smug!! ]

Part of my natural charm, them?

[auguryofinnocence]

Hm, you're very convincing. Charismatic, I suppose?

[innerdaemons]

This is all doing wonders for my ego.

[auguryofinnocence]

I'd better keep my mouth shut then, you don't need any more.

[innerdaemons]

I will survive for a month off those words alone.

[auguryofinnocence]

And not off the meals we collected for you? I don't believe I've been thanked yet.

[innerdaemons]

[ abruptly -- he lowers himself into a deep bow, arm sweeping in front of his chest ]

You have my sincere thanks for that as well. That could not have been easy work.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well you're welcome, someone had to do the heavy lifting.

[innerdaemons]

Cosmo was not fit for the task?

[auguryofinnocence]

Does he seem very fit for lifting a hundred pounds or more?

[innerdaemons]

Fair enough! And that explains some of the blood.

[auguryofinnocence]

Does it?

[innerdaemons]

If you were carrying parts around, yes.

[auguryofinnocence]

Oh. No, that's just because of all the murder. Both as perpetrator and victim.

[innerdaemons]

[ he laughs! ]


Certainly carrying around parts would not help.

[auguryofinnocence]

Not really, but then I was already so far gone it couldn't have really made it worse either.

[innerdaemons]

Fair enough!

[ he's picking up another vial ]

Did you wish to try for another or are you spreading your choices of partner around?

[auguryofinnocence]

Hm, I guess it's best to cover my bases.

[He takes one too then, yellow.]

[innerdaemons]

[ his is also yellow! he takes a drink. ]

I had assumed you were quite eager to under-perform compared to me.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He also drinks!]

Yes, I'd feel much more comfortable with losing.

[innerdaemons]

[ he pauses. ]

I assume you meant to say that?

[auguryofinnocence]

As in it's exactly what's on my mind? Obviously. Don't you know me at all?

[innerdaemons]

Not at all, no! You're a complete stranger to me.

[ this is silly.

steps forward to grab him by the back of the neck again and try to pull him into a kiss. ]

[auguryofinnocence]

[Thank you for sparing them both, Absinthe. It's incredibly frustrating only being able to say something false. Especially when it's so plainly false as Vergil of all people not wanting to win at all costs.

He returns the kiss, and only takes a moment to break away to knock back another potion before going in again. Might as well not even bother with letting the effects happen. A good thing too, since it was blue, he only narrowly avoids starting to run his mouth.]

[innerdaemons]

[ he's laughing as Vergil pulls back but does also take a chance to down a vial himself -- which is also blue, which coincides well with his inability to shut the fuck up

though when he does start to speak it's quickly muffled into the third kiss and even in the midst of that he's reaching back for another vial. ]
