[ this is hard to articulate without it coming out in some form that V finds violently needy. ]

You didn't need to hear most of what I had to say.

[takeroot]

I am your friend. I believe talking to one another is actually encouraged, even if it becomes difficult.

[summonere]

[ He wants to smash this thing, to be quite honest. All of Vergil's anxiety about being close with something as fragile as a human that could so easily be taken away. ]

It's not that simple.

[ And! You! Know! That! ]

[takeroot]

Then you will have to explain it to me.

[Go on, this is also part of the Human Experience.]

[summonere]

I would have done anything for you.

[takeroot]

Is that so terrible? I would do anything for my cousin.

[But ah, not the same. Okay, okay.]

You're upset that the flowers reached you at all, aren't you? I had a feeling you might be.

[summonere]

Even if I was, you're hardly the one who was selling them.

[takeroot]

[gosh, who are we mad at!]

Well, now you'll have to explain it to me again. Start at the beginning.

[summonere]

[ Himself! Duh! ]

I can't be that vulnerable and succeed at anything I'm trying to accomplish.

[ He means vulnerable to stupid faerie spells, but maybe he secretly kind of means to love too. ]

[takeroot]

[V, no, that is the opposite of productive? Besides, Constantin is fairly sure that even powerful people have feelings, or off days with magic stuff--]

Are you sure?

[summonere]

No.

[ Currently unsure about many things. ]

[takeroot]

Fair enough. Still, I hardly think an errant rose petal is going to ruin all of your plans.

[summonere]

It certainly complicates them.

[takeroot]

In my experience, nothing is actually simple. Except perhaps giving up.

You can only worry so much!

[summonere]

That is not true.

[ Don't impugn his ability to overthink everything. Don't you dare. ]

[takeroot]

V, be reasonable.

[Take a nap? Eat a real meal?]

[summonere]

I'm trying.

[ Emotions are difficult. ]

I couldn't bear to be without you, and I can still feel it every time I'm reminded of it.

[ Which isn't so hard when you have a fresh little tattoo exactly intended to remind you of it. ]

[takeroot]

[Ah, hm. Oh. A feelings hangover? He doesn't know how enchantments work, exactly...]

Well

That will pass with time?

[summonere]

[ Emotional flashbacks. ]

Supposedly.

What are you going to do if I break that promise.

[takeroot]

I suppose that depends on what you do, exactly.

[Like, they probably can't be friends anymore if V tries to kill him, for example. Please don't.]

[summonere]

To trade my humanity for power? There's options enough in this world.

[takeroot]

Surely it doesn't have to be one or the other.

[summonere]

Surely? It wasn't so hard to turn me into a lovesick idiot. Maybe next it will be a monster.

[ Oh. Is this the control freak finally freaking out. ]

[takeroot]

[Oh, yep, there it is. He knew it was coming, and yet!]

Then perhaps you should arrange an emergency policy of sorts. Griffon, maybe...?

[summonere]

[ Uhm! Actually a stellar idea. ]

Griffon can't do anything against me, none of the familiars can.

But the Warlock could, and he might not kill me in the process. I should prepare something you could use as an offering.
