Yes, terrible how I have self-respect.

[jobchange]

There is no shame in physical affection, Vergil. I may have lost plenty of dignity in my time, but none of it was lost to a pleasant tumble.

[auguryofinnocence]

Maybe not, when it's truly affection.

[And not just being a messy ho, Thancred.]

And when it's not put on display for all to see.

[jobchange]

I would prefer to kiss in private.

[But whatever! He makes a dismissive gesture.]

But I will kiss in the open as much as they like, if it replaces the mindless violence.

[auguryofinnocence]

I'd rather kill each other. Besides the possession, it was almost fun.

[jobchange]

By the gods, Vergil. Never have I known such a morbid stick in the mud.

[Just. Shaking his head.]

[auguryofinnocence]

I said almost. Wandering with friends wasn't so bad.

-- And I am not a stick in the mud.

[jobchange]

You are so thoroughly deep in the mud no one could ever hope to tug you out.

[auguryofinnocence]

Don't pretend we haven't had fun together, Thancred. Your enemies may be just that, but they would tell you I'm plenty of fun.

[jobchange]

...Vergil.

[crossing his arms and giving the most disappointed stare]

Are you going to play the game or not?

[auguryofinnocence]

[He huffs.]

I am. I never said I wasn't, you just assumed.

[jobchange]

I did no such thing. I am simply asking you to get on with it.

[wiggles a handful of vials at him]

Pick one, drink it, and kiss me you oaf.

[auguryofinnocence]

I hope you don't talk to your dates that way, it really sucks the romance out of the room.

[He grumbles, but he still takes a vial at random, purple, so when he drinks it shy, annoyed pops up over his head.]

[jobchange]

[Oh no, it's amazing! He was about to drink one, but now he's just laughing.]

Shy! Of course!

[auguryofinnocence]

Shy? What the hell are you talking about, I am absolutely not.

[jobchange]

[Laughing harder, and pointing up at the words.]

You are!

[auguryofinnocence]

[Well he can't very well see them when they're above his own head! Even when he tries to look up...]

Very funny, Thancred.

[jobchange]

[He might die from laughter. This is the best thing that has ever happened! In fact, he's laughing too hard to actually respond.]

[auguryofinnocence]

What's so funny about it, even if it was true?

[jobchange]

You are just-- One moment, let me catch my breath...

[He coughs once, then forces himself to settle.]

You are so big and outwardly gruff that to see your shyness pointed out is the height of comedy.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He heaves a sigh.]

It isn't what you think. I've hardly spent any time around people, and among demons, anything human is shameful.

[jobchange]

I understand, but it is still quite charming, in its own way. Your shyness, I mean.

[He downs his own vial now, orange, then crooks a finger at Vergil in beckoning, leaning in a bit. Thancred's going to have to get on his toes if he's going to give a real kiss, but given the range of heights in his world he doesn't find that embarrassing at all.

He is much more focused on the opportunity to be a rude, teasing jerk.]

Come. You do irritate me to no end, but I think I'd find spiteful enjoyment in showing you how pleasant a shameful mortal can be. If only for the briefest of moments. ...Unless you cannot bear it, of course.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He rolls his eyes, scoffing.]

I can bear it. But don't flatter yourself, you won't be showing me anything new.

[At least he's used to having to stoop himself. But he bends only at the neck, grabbing hold of Thancred around the collar to drag him forward to meet him. Because if he's going to kiss this man, he's going to act as rude about it as possible.]

[jobchange]

We shall see about that.

[Part of him is a little irritated at being dragged, but part of him is really not. It's funny, okay?! He puts an arm around Vergil's neck though, to steady himself as he gives a very nice kiss. Thancred's a pain but hey, he has a few redeeming qualities.]

[auguryofinnocence]

[Wow rude. He refuses to acknowledge that it might be a pretty good kiss.

He does, however, have to prove himself now too. A few weeks ago he would have been extremely clumsy, but, thank Lahabrea! What a good guy! Now he actually knows what he's doing, and he will not be outdone.]
