Sometimes I think he only cares because he doesn't have a choice. I... hate how he disparages his humanity. The side of himself he refuses to acknowledge. The human side of him... he despises how weak being half-human makes him. Even if it does, it's still our family's legacy.

But that doesn't matter to him. When he sees me... he must only ever be reminded of the things he hates about himself. And I know for a fact... that he is as much a sentimental fool as I am.

Mm, I dunno about that. I'm not going to lie and sugarcoat it, I know how he feels about humanity and what he believes that entails, but I don't think he cares about you because he doesn't have a choice otherwise. Vergil is definitely very sentimental, but you have to earn a place with him. He's not one to care about anyone or anything from the jump just because. You especially...I do understand your position intimately in some ways and in others I could not hope to, but that he's trying in his way at all says something to me. It might not be enough and you're allowed to feel that way, but I don't think he wants to cast you aside.

[sighs deeply, his feathers wilting]

... I know. I know he's trying. I know... he doesn't truly hate me. And my presumptions about who he is--who we are, and were--only serve to further the wedge between us. I simply... can't let go.

[she strokes his feathers with tender care]

Yeah, I get that. I do. One step and day at a time. At least there's hope for you and I know you're loved as you are.

[pets will continue until morale improves]

Hope... I used to think that if there were any hope for me, it would lie entirely in Vergil.

[pets will continue until morale improves!]

And what do you think now?

...

I'm not certain anymore. I do know that... when I see him disparage his humanity, it makes my heart twist inside me, and I want to scream.

Yeah, I can't imagine that's great on its own, nevermind how it ties to you. You might have to make your own hope, though.

There's... more.

...

If I tell you this thing, you must promise to keep it a secret. I'll kill you if you don't.

I promise.

I mean it. I know I'm weak, but I have powerful friends, and terrible, terrible mind-altering powers. And I will know if you've told him, because he can't keep secrets worth a damn.

Oh yeah, he's terrible at keeping his own secrets, but Rave I get it. [she taps his forehead]

Doom and terror for me if I tell him, which I'm not gonna.

[he watches her sidelong for a few moments, then takes a deep breath and lets it out]

...

...

I want him to kiss me. I think we'd both feel better about the other if we could do that.

[

oh.]

.....Huh.

[give her a moment, she's picturing that and it's pretty

great, actually?]

Huuuuuuuuh.

[wonders if that's sex or masturbation--]

I adore you.

[petpetpet]

That actually makes a lot of sense to me, actually. As someone who loves kissing and having sex for a number of reasons, yeah. Legit.

[that sure was a face journey she had just now.

...

raven leans over and

bites the shit out of her hand]

[her feathers raise in surprise and she trills like the birb she is--]

[She leaaaans in, voice low]

Oh my, how forceful~!♥

[she's a shit]

[BITE BITE BITE BITE BITE BITE BITE]

Ahh! [honestly, this is so ridiculous she can't help laughing a bit but she's not one to stay idle so she's going to try and shove him and bite the juncture of his neck and shoulder, it's just easier to reach]

[sqUAWK YELP

tries to kick her off]

[SQUAWKS BACK! CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP

bites him one more time before letting herself get kicked]

Victory for me!

[wheezes, laying on the ground. lily 1 raven 0]
