[He was supposed to be done with the game but he was persuaded and now Vergil's like 8 but totally acting like everything is normal]

Oh, perfect. You're done with Urizen, right? Can I trade you so I can read it now, please?

[Oh my god save him. He looks down and just. Steps aside.]

Do come in. I'll fetch it for you.

Thanks.

[He steps just inside the door and stays there. A good and mature kid who's not going to wander or anything. He's brought a book too and offers it, another Blake, The Four Zoas.]

You can take this one, it's one of the companion pieces so you should like it.

[Baritones is very fancy even if he doesn't explore and Cosmo returns to take a picture and hand back the book of Urizen. Exchange!]

Thank you my friend. Would you like to stick around?

You're not going to offer me whiskey, are you?

[There's definitely still a hint of Vergil in that smirk.]

I don't want to put you out, I just really wanted to read this.

Why, do you want whisky?

[He is probably joking!]

[Is he?????]

Gross, for real?

[But he wants Cosmo to think he's mature? He was going to just get his book and leave but now?]

...I mean. Maybe.

[He laughs.]

I'm not that irresponsible! But shall I make you something to eat?

...well. Maybe. They give me garbage. What can you make?

You don't have to look after me though, you know.

I am entertaining a guest. You're my first visitor you know.

[He motions Vergil to sit at the bar while he goes into the kitchen.]

Guess you need more friends.

[But, well, alright, he takes a seat]

Perhaps you're right.

[He'll investigate and raid the fridge. What's fast and easy?? Seems like it'll be stir fry.]

[grins]

Maybe your own age, too.

[Thank god don't give him something he doesn't understand how to eat

He reads in the meantime, naturally.]

Are you not usually? Well closer to it anyway.

[But he lets him read while he cooks! Coming over with two bowls of stirfried veggies and meat, lightly seasoned.]

Uh, no? Unless you mean Raven, but that's different.

[Do you think he would have let anyone see him if he knew he wasn't supposed to be a child? He's just used to hanging out with old men apparently]

Pfft. Of course.

[Setting the food before him and digging in himself.]

But what do you mean about Raven?

Thank you, Cosmo.

[He's polite, so he takes a bite to try it first, but certainly doesn't do anything like talk with his mouth full]

I mean because Raven's part of me or whatever. Didn't I tell you yet? I think I meant to, anyway.

Part of you? No you didn't mention.

Someday I'm going to split in two, human and demon. Raven's the fully human half. He named the fully demon half Urizen. Like Albion splitting himself in four parts. - That's what you're going to read about in the one I just gave you.

[That's actually extremely uncomfortable hm. He doesn't react though, picking at his food.]

Do you recover?

Dante says so. At least that's what Raven told me. Urizen would destroy everything otherwise, so I'd have to, or there wouldn't be anything left.

How... why does it happen?

Raven and I don't know how or why, maybe the demon king did it? Maybe it's just what happens to half-demons, since we shouldn't exist? Or maybe it's like Albion and I did it to myself. That's kind of why I wanted to read these again, it might tell me something.

I'd like to know. When you find out. Being split in multiple, and how you reform.

Yeah, you're smarter than you look, so I like hearing what you think.
