Mission 11: A Close Secret

[Private to people who know Nero is Dante's nephew]

*Why is Dante wet? Do you even want to know? Well either way, it's not what he wants to talk about.*

Sure you guys've already noticed that the kid who just popped up on the D-Ts is my nephew. I'm gonna have to ask you a favor about that: don't tell 'im. He doesn't know anything 'bout his father, and this ain't the time for him to learn.

[Private to Vergil]

*Yeah, Dante's still wet, and also looking uncharacteristically serious.*

Bro, we've gotta have us a chat.

I still say you oughta at least do somethin'. Teach 'im the right way to use a katana if nothin' else. The kid's a punk, but I don't think he's dumb. He's gonna start wonderin' eventually, and it ain't like it's a secret that we're supposed to be the same age. He figures it out, he oughta have at least some reason to think his old man gives a shit about him.

And if you really don't, I'm gonna have to make your face match your crappy fashion sense.

*That is, black and blue.*

I'd care to see his face about as much as I desire to see yours.

[ which basically means at an arms length. on his own terms. but that's as close as he is willing to be. forget the implication that it means he does give a damn. ]

*Nope, he's not going to forget that implication.*

Then you better do somethin' to make sure he isn't pissed enough at ya to wanna introduce that demon fist of his to your face when he catches on. Kid's got some serious anger issues.

I think such a confrontation, if he catches on, would be inevitable.

[ he knows he is not endearing and he's not going to try to be. ]

Though he had best pray to be far swifter than you if wishes to succeed in landing a hit.

Nobody bothered teachin' him to play fair, wouldn't put it past 'im to try knockin' your teeth out as the first clue that he's pissed.
