[ enjoy another really long, muted pause before answering because not only did you catch the man off guard with your weirdly timed compliments and genuine comments on top of apologising to him but now he's offering that... ]

I will make you a deal. I will allow you to aid me with my tone and speaking with others.
And in return, I will ... teach you how to speak Italian.
[Now it's Nox's turn to go quiet for a long minute or three. Honestly, he was just offering because he wanted to help, he wasn't expecting Vergil to offer a trade in return.]
yeah thats your native language right? id like that tbh a lot actually youve got yourself a deal
I would not offer such a thing unless I was serious, Nero.
And yes. It is my native tongue. I am far less ... stiff when speaking Italian, as it is what I grew up with, and I do not have to think about my sentences before writing them out.
yeah tbh i dont think i remember even what i took in high school i think it was spanish? been so long ive forgotten the basics conversational huh well see hoping ill do better then just conversations tbh
Come to the Auguries whenever you are free, next. I do have a number of books that are good for basic learning of Italian, if you wish to borrow them. Relics of my short time spent as a teacher.
[ very, very short. ]
Language is a 'use it or use it' skill. So long as you practice, you will not forget.
