[ Vergil does raise an excellent point. ]

I... hadn't considered the matter from that angle.

[ The British man draws himself up to his full—admittedly none too impressive—height. ]

You're right. I've wasted enough time already.

If you are ready, then so I am.

[kowase]

That is why it is best to usually have more than one person doing a study.

That way there is at least one differing opinion.

[ experiments done by one person usually aren't perfect. But. Vergil moves, to sit at his desk. Folding his hands over, looking at Jekyll with a quiet, but serious gaze. ]

Is there a certain method to summoning him? A ... sort of command word, or.

[ does he need to knock you out. ]

[miracledrug]

Not a command word, no. Initially, summoning it required a certain elixir—but even that isn't necessary anymore.

I only need to expose my weakness to the beast and it will eagerly rise up on its own.

[ Saying so, Jekyll removes his glasses and neatly folds them, before tucking them into a small black case he withdraws from his pocket. He holds the case out to Vergil. ]

Would you mind holding onto this for me? The beast delights in the destruction of my personal property.

[kowase]

An elixir. I see. Well, given I know very little about Alchemy, it is fortunate you needn't use it any longer.

'Exposing your weakness' sounds a bit contrived, though. I assume you will handle it, however.

[ as he reaches forward to gingerly take the glasses from Jekyll--considering them a moment before stepping to place them inside an ornate wooden box on his desk. The same one he used to store some of his tools and extra pens--it fit the glasses quite comfortably, and hid them from view. ]

...Perhaps before we start, then, we should also move to the second floor. There is less to break up there.

[miracledrug]

Truthfully, it's difficult for me to put into words. It's more of a... feeling.

But make no mistake. You will meet the beast this day.

[ When Vergil makes the suggestion to move their experiment to the second floor, Jekyll nods and follows Vergil upstairs. Once there, he turns to face the man. ]

Watch closely.

[kowase]

[ upstairs is mostly a mess of crates and bookshelves--filled with items halfway between refurbished and being stored--some wrapped in paper or bubble wrap. A crafting table of sorts, with a mess of paints and chemicals for cleaning and restoring broken items.

Other than that, it's mostly a large, lonely empty space--so Vergil has very little worry that if this 'Beast--' the Hyde to Henry's Jekyll gets rowdy--Vergil will be able to handle him without too much damage.

He IS watching the other, his head tipping to the side. Curious. ]

I do not fear meeting him, Jekyll. I am a fair bit stronger than I look. [ and while, at this point, he does not have his Devil Form or magic sword--he does have his rapid regeneration and some amount of superhuman strength. ]

I am watching. Do not fear for what may happen.
I will be careful.
