[Vergil doesn't mind the way Nero props himself up against him, and is frankly prepared to prop him entirely if need be. But he takes it as a good sign that Nero is only partially leaning on him in the end and able to hold himself up even a little.]

It is, [Vergil confirms with a nod.] It rounds out my collection of Blake, and is a good start to the others.

[Dante had taken issue with Vergil's refusal to really acquire much by way of things for himself. He had been here for nine months on his own, and hadn't taken the liberty to acquire his own books, contenting himself with borrowing copies from the library for as much as he needed or wanted. Frankly, Vergil still finds it a bit silly to concern himself with gathering books when he will not likely be able to take them with him when he leaves this place someday. Folkmore is, after all, just stop along the way back to the human world and by far not Vergil's final destination. But he won't deny that it's been...nice. To have copies that are his own again. Even if he finds himself in disagreement with Dante's logic overall, he can see some semblance of a point to it now that he's had a few more tangible things to call his own after being so long without beyond the clothes on his back and the Yamato.]

I'm surprised you didn't take the chance to read some of it before gifting it to me. You were getting quite good at making the books seem untouched at the apartment.

[Nero's been a little busted as far as reading Vergil's books is concerned for a while now, but it's only now that Vergil's chosen to acknowledge it openly.]
