[Vergil purses his lips at being called a nerd. He's not offended or necessarily put out by the ribbing. It's not as though Nero dismisses his point outright and leaves it at that. But... Well, it's one of the few things Vergil can confidently say that he likes and he's notably willing to indulge in often for purely the sake of it rather than for a function it may serve alone. Had he the access to books more consistently, it's likely it would have likely been among the few constants throughout his life. So, it's a bit hard for Vergil not to be a little displeased at being poked at over it, especially when it's been so rare that he has anyone with even a mild or passing interest to talk with about it. Even here in Folkmore, with his tendency to keep largely to himself, Vergil really hasn't found anyone to match his interest. Thus, Vergil doesn't quite bristle or snap, but there's a light color to his cheeks and he doesn't really return Nero's humor. Rather instead, he pushes right past it as though it wasn't said at all.]
