ok fair

[This is a major difference between Nox and Nero. Nox will compliment people if he thinks they deserve it.

Enjoy dying, this is gonna happen a lot more.]

wait wait wait
ok like
vergil
uh
fuck
um

[This is suddenly awkward for what he wants to offer, because this is his dad but also not his dad. Fuck his feelings it's COMPLICATED.]

look if you need help learning tone and stuff
i dont mind helping
if you want it that is

...yeah
ill try to remember that

[kowase]

[ 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.

[sassery]

wait seriously?
uh
im

[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

[kowase]

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.

A deal is set, then.

[sassery]

yeah i get it

i mean
i cant promise to pick it up amazingly?
this shit isnt easy the older you get yknow?
but gdit im gonna fucking try

[kowase]

A little is better than none. Learning at an older age always proves more difficult, but anything can be achieved with enough hard work.

I have faith you will at least hold down 'conversational'.

[sassery]

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

[kowase]

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.

I will make you practice.

[sassery]

ok noted
luckily im not too busy rn
im gonna be asking so many gd questions just warning you

yeah its like any kind of sport
you dont keep in shape and practice youll get rusty

that a promise or a threat?

[kowase]

I do not mind questions. I will field as many as you have to send to me.

And it is most certainly a threat.

[sassery]

sounds good to me
👉😎👉

[Vergil no you have just opened the floodgates for trolling.]

oh shit ok then
gonna do my best to impress tbh
