[ Kat had her markings and they had their own meanings but for all that humans failed to measure up to nephilim, there was still power in the potential of their bodies. Blood, skin, sinew — they could each be their own sacrifice and so bearing sigils like tattoos made a brutal sort of sense. ]
i told her to ask someone else it's not like we can completely hide who we are when some people can sense part of us
idk about a witch. she said something about a sword. i mean bayonetta's a witch too but she was different from kat and clary's different from kat too.
something's just different brother i can't place it. how could she know to ask if i'm not a human? i've barely talked to her.
[And, for him, it's kind of a problem. He doesn't care if people can sense he's something demonic, or something and angelic, but not at all human? That's a different beast altogether, one that he's not really sure he's ready to answer right now.]
[ Dante's preoccupation with humanity is something that Vergil can appreciate on a certain level. He was, after all, doing what he could to secure mankind's freedom from the demons. (Sure, vengeance factored into it, but for Vergil it was more than just personal. There was the principle behind it as well, the idea that demons should fall and the third race should rise and, with its ascension, should secure the safety of humanity.)
But wanting to coddle humanity is not the same thing as wanting to be human. Vergil knows he's something different (something better). If only he could make Dante see the same thing. ]
You said it yourself, some people can simply sense things. Even if she's human, it doesn't mean she's completely powerless. Kat, for example.
[ A beat. ]
If she knew for certain, she wouldn't have asked, brother. But I can follow up on it, if you want.
[ Another beat, longer. Vergil's never really been the reassuring type but for his brother, he tries. ]
